Studebaker Vinyl Record Cleaning System with Cleaning Solution and Soft Pads Included

I love this record cleaner! I have cleaned so many thrifted records. Every time they come out near spotless and sound amazing. This system is easy to use and quick to setup. After each use it is simple and easy to cleanup and put away. Simply pour out the dirty water, squeeze the excess water out of the pads, and leave everything open to dry. All of the parts including the cleaning solution and the microfiber cloths fit inside of the base with the lid snug. The cleaning pads are gentle on the surface and haven't left any noticeable scratches on my vinyls. The cleaning solution doesn't have a strong smell and lasts a long time.

This cleans my old albums as expected. It is manual and it can be difficult at times to rotate the album in this unit but it saves me time to hand wash them and it cleans them enough to reduce most of the noise from the dirt collected in the groves.

I'm bad about buying dusty thrift store records. This little device has made some of my horribly dirty, scratched up records sound 200% better. It won't fix scratches, but it will remove a good deal of dirt and grime from the grooves of your records, removing a lot of the pops and surface noise of old, grimy records. This will make the music sound more dynamic, and even increase the volume of your records. In some cases, it can make a 50 year old record sound brand new. And it will make your newer records sound better, too! It is simple in design, has a nice solid feel to it, and comes with record cleaning fluid. I'd say this company got it 100% right. They have a product that does what it says it does, does it simply and does it at a reasonable price. Good job, Studebaker!

This item is fantastic. It's manual so no battery concerns, that also helps prevent damage to vinyl. Most of my albums are from the 60s and 70s, some from the 40s and 50s. They all sound fantastic, most as they did when new. I just finished listening to the Beatles "Yesterday and Today". I bought the record 58 years ago and now sounds like new. The unit is simple and easy to use. My only regret was waiting so long before upgrading my cleaning process. This works, is simple and I love the results.

Most people want to know if this is worth buying over the spin-clean. First off, I used to own a spin-clean. Did it work? Yes. It did the job nicely if used properly. The rollers went bad over time, just like the rollers will go bad on this cleaner as well. The brushes also went out due to use. The brushes will go bad on this one as well. Cross that bridge when you get there. The spin-clean brushes and rollers will work in this one as well. There are a few simple tips I can give you if you are in the market for this studebaker and are on the fence. The cure to the water issue that some have mentioned in these reviews, get some Kwik Seal (clear), I had some already (free). Clean off the area where the reservoir meets the box with rubbing alcohol. Allow to dry. Spread the kwik seal into the gaps between the wood and the plastic and on the joints at the corners and over the little plastic caps that cover the screws for the reservoir. Use your finger to spread it into the gap to create a seal. If you're really looking to make it super water tight, peel up the caps over the screws, remove the screws, remove the reservoir and lather the kwik seal all over the edges where the reservoir seats and set the reservoir back down in the box pushing it down to allow the kwik seal to ooze out of the cracks. smooth out with your finger. Allow it to dry for 2 hours. Water problem solved. Next, get the "amazon basics" yellow, microfiber towels sold by amazon ($4) (comes with 3). The towels included with this kit will work great for cleaning my glasses. Next, get a bottle of the spinclean record washing fluid ($9.99). Throw out the fluid that comes with the kit. Get some distilled water at the grocery store ($0.99 per gallon). Fill the reservoir with the distilled water and add a cap full of the spin-clean record washing fluid. Insert the record into the washer. SPIN LIGHTLY. 3 times clockwise, 3 times counterclockwise. You don't have to wail on it. Next, use the microfiber towels to dry off the record. Also, once the rubber gasket fails on the rollers, file out the roller a little wider so the record will fit in the empty space where the rubber gasket once was and you're back in business with the rollers. Also, use a "small" amount of grease in the area where the rollers meet the reservoir to aid in spinning. Done. For ($45) you have something that will last as long and work as well as the spin-clean for almost half the price but is much nicer and cooler looking than the DMV yellow spinclean.

This kit is very easy to use & does a good job, i would recomend that you also get some record drying racks to complete the washing day.

I have owned this record cleaning for system for over a year now and I can say it is durable and effective for what it is. Don't expect ultrasonic quality results, but it is high quality for the price. Only nitpick is the cleaning solution, as I would advise using something other than included in the kit.

look is fine but not sure if it’s working well

The package comes with the cleaning base, two brushes, two rollers (so you can change the size of your record), the cleaning solution and two cleaning cloths. Based on my own research, I found out that you should add a bit of distilled water at the bottom of the cleaning base to prevent residue buildup from the solution. Sadly I didn't have distilled water at home, so I guess my cleaning was incomplete, and nowhere in the instructions it is ever mentioned that you need distilled water. But in any case - it works great, and I just wish it had come with distilled water for a more thorough cleaning experience. The record in the picture is over 50 years old, was sitting in someone's garage for ages and it was purchased for $5. Needless to say, it was filthy, but played all the way through with no issues after cleaning.
