33 - Vinyl Record Cleaning Kit- Record Vacuum Wand for Deep Cleaning (Attaches to Your Wet Dry Vacuum Hose, U.S. Standard 1.25" & 1.5")

I decided I didn’t want to spend $400-500 on a record cleaning machine like an Okki Nikki even though I am an avid record collector and audiophile. I spent some $$ on my record player so I don’t want to play dirty records and ruin my stylus. For $30 I thought I would give this a try. I already had a small shop vac and purchased an electric powered “lazy Susan” from someone named “Biffy” on eBay. See pics for what the item looks like. It works great with the Vinyl Vac! The Vinyl Vac hooks right up to your shop back and it’s super easy to use. It has a lot of suction and I usually let the record spin twice one way and then twice the other and it is pretty much completely dry. The sound quality is a lot better after using this item. If your records are scratched then there’s only so much you can do but for those swap meet find records that are really dusty and dirty or have fingerprints all over them this device is a lifesaver. I personally use a small amount of Turgeon tall with distilled water to clean my records and then do a distilled water rinse and then use Vinyl Vac. I’m thrilled! I’ve tried many other record cleaning solutions and the lint roller style cleaner and this is by far the easiest to use and the best way to get your records really clean. The device does not damage your records. The pads are very soft. See my video for how I use it. If it’s not working here, go to YouTube and search for Vinyl Vac Review. And it definitely needs to be noted that this company has amazing customer service! I have emailed them twice about replacement parts and they have literally responded in a matter of minutes. When you need to buy replacement pads they are not expensive and they will include a few freebies. Super nice people and a great product! This record collector is done searching for a record cleaner. And no, I was not paid or offered anything for this review!

I've gone through a few different methods of cleaning vinyl and have done a ton of research (read: internet browsing) before deciding to invest in a vacuum cleaner. I was originally set on trying the record doctor v when I came across the vinyl vac as a recommendation. I quickly learned about DIY vacuum cleaners and thought it was worth a shot, especially for a fraction of the price of an actual vacuum cleaner. I use the vinyl vac along with an audio technica cleaning solution and brush kit, also sold on amazon. I attach the vinyl vac to a wet dry vac I purchased at Walmart for a mere 20 bucks. For this small investment, my records have received the best cleaning they've ever had (looking quite lovely) and sound as best as they possibly could. Now, it's going to take me quite some time to go go through my entire collection, but once I do I am going to be a very happy person with very clean records. I have experienced clarity on certain recordings that had been previously missed. Plus, it's always nice having shiny, glossy records. The vinyl vac very easy to use. I have had no problems and my records were never in any danger of being damaged. Anyone that has anyone trouble with it probably shouldn't be left alone with scissors either. This is an absolutely fantastic device, which has saved my records and I would definitely recommend this to any serious record collector and most definitely the casual one. For such a small investment you really can't go wrong. The VV helps me enjoy my new headphones unbelievably well. I am so glad this was released and its creator is an absolute splendid person that even sent me additional improvements at no extra charge.

I've been collecting used vinyls for a while to play here and there, but recently I've started to really get into collecting and playing my records as a hobby. Part of collecting means keeping my records in good shape and protecting them from new or further damage. I always thought cleaning records meant using those run-of-the-mill "disc-washer" pads with the corduroy on them, but I had no idea that it really wasn't cleaning my records at all, it was just pushing the dirt and dust around the vinyl and further into the grooves. I did some research and found that the best method for really removing the grime from the grooves was some sort of vacuuming system. There are several popular brand name machines out there, but the cost is way out of my budget and I couldn't justify the purchase of a machine like that for my small collection (about 50 records). Then I discovered Vinyl Vac. I read the reviews on Amazon and even watched some video reviews on Youtube, as well. It seemed like a cheap, effective, and rather convenient way to clean my records whenever I needed to! The selling point for me was the ease of use and the fact that cleaning my records this way might help to eliminate pops and crackles and, ultimately, improve audio quality. Now, having purchased the Vinyl Vac and using it to clean my entire collection already, here's what I think about the product and my experience: To start, the creator of the product suggests building your own lazy Susan-esque turntable to use along with the Vinyl Vac instead of using your good record player. But the thought of finding/buying a cheap lazy Susan somewhere, securing a peg in the middle somehow, and then buying a roll of that rubber matting seemed like too much work, so I ultimately bought a broken turntable on eBay for about $11, it even came with its own mat, so it saved me the effort of having to build my own and in the end probably would have cost about the same either way. I did buy a Stanley Wet/Dry Vac ($20) to use with this, too, plus a bottle of distilled water ($.80) and a paint edging pad ($3), so in the end the total cost (including the Vinyl Vac) was roughly $60. A decent price compared to what the Record Doctor or Okki Nokki would have cost me (somewhere in the $100 to $400 range). The product itself is sturdy with a good weight to it. It comes with two suction reducers, an "o" ring to help with securing the product onto your wet/dry vac, a felt washer for protecting your record labels, and an extra pair of velvety pads. I like that it's not a bulky machine, so it's easy to put in a drawer somewhere out of the way when not in use. For the cleaning solution, I used distilled water, a cap's worth of Isopropyl alcohol, and a drop or two of Dawn dish soap. I did not follow the recipe measurements (provided by the Vinyl Vac website) exactly, as I wanted my cleaning solution to be mostly water and less soap/chemicals. I also did not use the wetting agent listed on the recipe, so unless the wetting agent vastly improves the results of the cleaning, I more than likely will not use it in the future, either. I don't really think you need it, but again, if I know for sure it will improve audio results in some way, then it may be worth purchasing. Set up was easy - directions and usage I think are rather self-explanatory, so I won't go into detail about how to use the product here, but I will say that the Vinyl Vac does a really good job of cleaning! I didn't use any of the reducers provided in the package, so suction was at 100% and it sucked up every drop of liquid (and hopefully all those little dirt particles) wonderfully! I used the paint edger pad to brush the records after applying the solution (picture provided of this process). I dripped the solution around the record (you could also spray it if you wanted), then spun the turntable and passed the edger along the record until it was completely wet. I turned the record a few times in each direction until the solution got a bit sudsy, then I placed the felt washer on the record, put the Vinyl Vac into position, and turned the wet/dry vac on. I then turned the record one complete rotation until all the liquid/suds were sucked up, then turned the record another rotation in the opposite direction (picture shows the record with no suds after the Vinyl Vac did its job). Afterwards, I left the records to air dry in a stand. (Pictures provided of a record before and after cleaning with the Vinyl Vac.) Once the records were dry, I placed them in new anti-static inner sleeves, put them back in their jackets and then put the jackets inside new outer sleeves. Does the Vinyl Vac actually get records clean? Visually, yes! Records look clean and shiny! However, I would need a handheld microscope to see into the grooves to know if dirt and dust is really getting sucked up. Some records may need a second cleaning if they're in really bad condition. My main concern was sound (I play my records on an LP60 Audio-Technica turntable)...would records with a lot of crackle and pop be less noticeable once I used the Vinyl Vac? Youtube reviewers said YES...but I'm saying NO. I took before and after videos of two records that had really bad crackling, especially right when the stylus touched the vinyl itself (and I replaced the stylus with a brand new one right before taking these videos, by the way), and after using the Vinyl Vac the crackling is still there, just as bad, and doesn't seem reduced at all. It should be noted that after cleaning and vacuuming I did not use an anti-static brush on the records (because I don't have one yet) so maybe the static could be part of the problem? When I get one I will pass it over the record before playing just to see if that makes a difference at all. But so far I'm disappointed that the audio quality does not seem improved. Then again, I don't really mind the crackling too much (it's part of the uniqueness of record playing) so I will live with it. Now that I think about it, though, do the crackling noises that still remain mean that dirt is still lodged in the grooves somehow? Hmmm.... If you have advice on how to fix this problem, feel free to comment! Overall, I think this is a nice and effective product for cleaning records....I have more faith in the cleaning ability of this product than I do with simple wet and wipe methods, or just rinsing and air drying your records only. I hope to toy around a bit more with it and other ideas to see if I can improve the audio of my records at all. One star deducted until I can microscopically prove and see with my own eyes that this really does clean as well as other reviewers claim it does.

I am not going to lie... I didn't think this was going to work. But when I was looking at the price of automated cleaners ($800 or more) vs. the price of this, I thought I would give it a shot. When I received it, I thought something would go wrong (damaging the record more, wouldn't make significant difference, would require additional $$$ for cleaners... whatever). Man was I wrong!!!! I generally don't write product reviews, but this deserves it. Yes it's manual, but it works. This device has transformed records I thought were beyond repair and returned them to life. It's not a magic wand. If you have records with damage, scratches etc it doesn't fix those, nor should we expect it to. But if your LP's are in good physical shape, this thing will remove impacted dust and make them sound like new again. I'll repeat, I didn't expect it to work, but I was 100% wrong. Would recommend to anyone looking to restore old records. Happy listening!!!

安くてバキュームできました。 吸い込み口のフェルトの予備も2個あるので、使い切ったらまた注文します。 体感的には98％くらい水を吸い取れます。 吸いきって棒を上にあげると少しだけ水は残るので、メガネ拭きなどで拭き取れば大丈夫でした。 安価なウエット対応掃除機と合わせて、1.5万円くらいでバキューム出来るため満足です。

There is only one review on here from the UK so I thought i'd make it two!! I received the Vinyl Vac yesterday and wasted no time in trying this bad boy out. I used an old turntable and bought a Qualtex wet/dry vac for £40. Unfortunately the hose size doesn't fit the vinyl vac with or without the large attachment so what I did was cut 2.5 inches off the top of one of the extension tubes and used one of the O-rings to create a snug fit. I got a real dirty 12" single which I bought years from the bargain bin of a second hand record shop and coated it with a vinyl cleaner, left on for a few minutes and proceeded to switch on the vac and as stated by another reviewer, it literally sucked up the record. I guess that's what the suction reducer is for then. After inserting the reducer I proceeded once again to clean the record. The results were amazing. This went from a bad sounding record which had crackles louder than the song to a much much more bearable play, to the point where about 2 minutes into the song the crackles were barely audible. Granted most peoples record collection shouldn't be like this bar the odd bargain big/charity shop purchase. So if you're in the UK do not hesitate to buy the Vinyl Vac. With a bit of trial and error and a few tweaks and adjustments this is a complete affordable record cleaning vacuum system. The best "£75 all in" I've probably ever spent.

Bought this to clean my old records and get rid of the surface noise. Worked great, using an old turntable as a platform. Combine this cleaner with great record sleeves and there's no need for an automatic record cleaner. Works great with my small shop vac.
