Budget means to an end
The overall design of this product looks simple enough. Instead of using the older hand-held Discwasher system, the design approach here is to clean both sides of the record simultaneously. As simple as this sounds, I found two design issues that bothered me. First, the pads fit very tightly against the record...so much that it made the record hard to spin in-place. Second, I pondered the process of removing the record which would take a perpendicular path across the grooves. The contaminants captured by the brushes during their linear track-n-pull session would then be [to some degree] released back into the grooves in the sideways travel during removal. The questions on this survey are too rigid [only yes & no; no maybe or partially]. I see this as a flaw in the survey itself. Is the product worth the money I paid for it? Sure it is. If I want a deeper clean though, I'll need to seek out another option. Meanwhile, I'll most likely retain the fluid to refill my Discwasher brush.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Effective for cleaning records
First of all it is a great value. I use it in conjunction to my Spin Clean. The Sb450 to clean, and Spin Clean to rinse. The brushes are nice and tight. The only issue I have with it are the rollers, which separate slightly, allowing the rubber strip in the center to come loose. the rubber strip, on the roller, is the part which meets the edge of the record. I will have to modify this by either using some epoxy or finding a replacement for the silicon rubber insert in the middle of the roller. Something that fits tighter in the groove. Some have complained of water leaking into the compressed wood core, causing it to swell. I have not had it that long for this to happen. I will run a bead of silicon along the top edge to perhaps prevent this from happening. Time will tell. In either case I've cleaned about 30 records so far and it works well.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

The Spin Clean, for almost $50 less
The Studebaker Sb450 Record Cleaning System is a knockoff of the more popular (and higher priced) Spin Clean. I know, because I've used one before, and all the parts and method of cleaning are exactly the same as the spin clean. Only difference is the design of the actual unit itself. The spin clean is entirely made of plastic, while the Studebaker has a pvc wrapped mdf exterior (the interior is still plastic). I actually think this feels more durable and sturdy than the spin clean. Others who have reviewed this product online have said that if you get the pvc/mdf casing wet, it can warp over time. I don't see that being an issue as long as you are careful when cleaning it out, and in the event you do get the outer part wet, just dry it immediately. Another complaint is the fact that the ring in the rollers gets twisted up sometimes during cleaning sessions, causing the records to not move as easily or the edges of the records to get stuck in the rollers. As I said before, all the parts for this are the same as the spin clean, so whether you pay $50 more, or buy this one, you'll have the same problem. It's not the fault of the product, it's the fault of whoever designed the rollers. They're easy enough to fix anyway, the rollers come apart at the middle, you fix the ring, pop the roller back together, and you're in business, A little practice with the system over time, and you can actually avoid the ring/roller problem all together. Another issue people point out is that the instructions given are VERY vague. As I said before, this is the same concept as the spin clean, so just check out some spin clean tutorials on youtube, and you'll be all set in a matter of a few minutes. Overall, a great product, and for what you would pay for one spin clean, you can buy 2 of these, and have enough left over for some good cleaning fluid or some more records.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good for simple cleaning
Not having a solution bathe, it is never as good as Spin Clean. Still, if you are just doing a light cleaning, without a bath, I use it. You can do the same as using the brushes direct on the record. Advantage here is both sides at once. Does all it was designed for.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
