Okay, cleaned probably 25 albums today. My review of the Spin-Clean Record Washer:

:thumbup: :thumbup:

It works really well!
My main worry was that the labels would get wet while I spun the records through the bath, but that was not at all the case. That's not because the brushes kind of squeegee the water off or anything, but because the grooves of the records make the water run around the labels (it's almost weird how well that works). Easy to use.

The hardest part is actually drying the records after you've cleaned them. The thing comes with good drying clothes, which is fine, but it's a matter of holding the record while you try and dry it without touching the playing surface. I managed to hold the edges of the records against one of the rollers while i wiped them dry, and also let them air dry for a while in a rubber coated dish drying rack as though they were plates (i think the drying rack is a necessary tool for this process). The system's great, but what it would make it even better is if they added some kind of rubber lined ledge or something on the wash bin where you can more easily hold the records while you wipe them dry.

Anyway, i recommend it. If you are interested and in keeping your records clean without spending $1000+ on a professional cleaner, this is the way you should go IMO.

Cool...I've always just used a corduroy lookin brush, but that only works for new or slightly dusty records that need a little touch up. Always had an issue with the super grungy records.

Got a copy of Eat A Peach just waiting for a good cleaning and there are plenty of others in line after.
