Sonic Cleaner, 6L Ultrasonic Vinyl Cleaner 7-12 Inch, 8 Records Ultrasonic Vinyl Cleaning Machine, 180W Ultrasonic Records Cleaner with Drying Rack for Home Store

Works really well. Easy to set-up. Cleaned about 100 records so far and noticed a significant reduction in surface noise.

I use this VEVOR 6L ultrasonic cleaner specifically for cleaning vinyl records, and for the price, it’s been excellent. It makes a noticeable difference in sound quality — cleaner playback, less surface noise, and records just look better after a cycle. The 6L capacity is ideal for my setup. I typically clean 4–5 records at a time, and it handles that workload without any issues. It’s been used weekly and has held up well so far, which says a lot given the repetitive use. This isn’t a luxury audiophile machine, but it punches above its weight. If you want effective ultrasonic cleaning without spending a fortune, this is a solid buy. I’d purchase it again without hesitation.

Works good, I’ve run about 400 records through it and no problems. Most of those records I’ve run through the spin clean, and still there was debris in the bottom so I assume it’s cleaning them better. It is noisy, but I just set a timer and go in the other room. Go to YouTube, plenty of instructions there on how to use it.

The set up took a little longer than expected and I had to come online to figure out how to put it together since the instructions didn’t tell me a lot about assembly. Took a while to heat up but heat stays constant once it reaches temperature until the timer goes off then the heat shuts off. The machine quality is fine, good for the money I guess, I’ve never used any other ultrasonic cleaning devices before. It got my records clean. They told me it would be loud but I wasn’t prepared for just how loud. The motor to turn the records is loud and constant when on, the buttons on the cleaner each have a dramatically loud beep when you press them which I wish they didn’t, but both of those are not as loud as the ultra sonic cleaning which is really really loud, I wore earplugs during use and I woke up today with my ears ringing, definitely need to have it in another room or you could ruin your hearing over time and will not be able to hear the records you are cleaning 😆 it functions well, I’m glad I have it, I have to find the best time, place and system to use it efficiently, because with how long it takes and at that volume I may not continue using it so that I can protect my ears.

Update 3-4-22 I watched several videos on YouTube describing how to test ultrasonic washers with aluminum foil. after letting this machine run for five minutes, two tiny holes appeared. In the videos I saw the machines were only run 60 seconds and produced dozens to hundreds of holes. In some cases the holes were clearly visible, unlike the 2 pin holes this machine produced. I had heard that ultrasonic cleaners were an easy and effective way to clean bicycle chains and cassettes. After setting up the ultrasonic cleaner and filling the tank to the top of the basket, I applied WD-40 chain and bike degreaser to my chain and the cassettes and let it sit on the parts for about 20 minutes while I let the ultrasonic cleaner heat up to 70 degrees. When the tank had heated up, I put in the bicycle parts and set the timer for 15 minutes. 15 minutes I looked at the parts and they looked about the same is when I put them in. The water was gray but the parts Look no cleaner than when I had put them in and as I handled the parts the surface grime was easily transferred to my hands. I decided to let the cleaner run for an hour at the same 70° temperature and after an hour I re-inspected the parts. The parts did not look any different. I had read in my research for ultrasonic cleaners that some people had good results using dawn dishwashing liquid. So I added a liberal amount of dawn to the tank and ran the cleaner for another hour. after an hour I looked at the part again and they look the same as they had when I started. I ended up needing to clean the chain and cassette by hand with a brush. I have read in other reviews that the fluid level affects the effectiveness. There is no mark on the inside of the tank indicating the optimal level of fluid so I will probably do some more testing with different cleaning chemicals and different fluid levels in the tank.

Unit was actually far better then I expected it to be for the price. Not nearly as loud as some suggested and while I’ve only had it for a few days, seems to operate flawlessly.

This ultrasonic cleaner is by far and away the best investment I've made in my audiophile equipment outside of my actual HiFi system! The difference before and after cleaning is literally night and day. Some of my older LPs went from barely listenable to sounding brand new. No need to use and cleaning solution in the tank- evidence shows habd ckeaning with a solution before using the machine with just distilled water in the tank is actually more efficient, prevents and chemical build up and removes the need to rinse- saving on distilled water as well. I waited decades for a reasonably priced, quality ultrasonic record cleaner and it was worth the wait. If you're an audiophile on any level, this cleaner will make your gratification in the hobby grow beyond bounds! It is a MUST HAVE!

Ultrasonic cleaning isn't magic, but it takes some common sense. It is easy if you're not in a hurry. This cleaner is nice, has a good temp control and easy to use interface. I bought the 10L one because it had a large enough basket to fit a carb, pistons, or VW oil cooler. I also got little baskets for the small carb parts. It take time and temp to make stuff clean. If you have a super gummed up part, figure on a couple hours of cleaning. The negative is that the longest time you can set is 30 minutes...no reason they couldn't allow it to go for a couple hours unless it's a duty cycle thing. So expect to hit go a few times until you're happy with the cleanliness. Changing the cleaning fluid / degreaser is easy enough. I've been using some generic cleaner from amazon...I'm pretty sure it's a rip off of Simple Green (but was cheaper). It comes with a drain valve and a somewhat crappy (but functional) nozzle/hose. That's ok by me...it functions and I don't need brass fittings to drain out the used fluid/degreaser. Expect really dirty stuff to make your degreaser really dirty. I've found that most things get clean within 2 hours at 40C, including the really gummed up and nasty carb which was the reason I bought this (turned out like new I might add). A few parts have taken longer, namely the oil cooler I should have bothered pre-cleaning prior to tossing it in (live and learn...needed to change the degreaser/detergent after it). I've not tried it with actual solvent (like carb cleaner) because I've found hot degreaser to be sufficient. Biggest thing now is to have a nearby system to flush the degreaser out of your newly clean part. And yes, it's loud, expect that, probably not the tool you want to put it in your bedroom or someplace you want peace and quiet. I can't believe the reviews complaining that the ULTRASONIC cleaner is loud...what did you expect? Luckily it's small enough you can simply put it outside and let it run if you so choose.
