What's the BEST Way to Clean Vinyl Records? (Vevor 6L Review)

[@shuntachi]

Like you mentioned, I also use both. First, ultrasonic clean a vinyl for 5-8 min, then use vacuum cleaning machine to suck out all moisture with remaining residue.

[@ForeverAnalog]

Awesome!

[@davidwatts-vs1ys]

I use both; the results area amazing! do the RD after the vevor to remove dessicant; dont forget anti-static gun/D-stat before sleeving/shelving

[@ForeverAnalog]

Awesome. Thanks for watching!

[@FelixtheMetalcat]

Yes....the anti stat became my newest weapon of choice last winter.

[@bacarandii]

Good call. I never truly "cleaned" my records when I started buying them as a kid in the 1970s. Who knew such a thing was even possible -- beyond a Vac-O-Rec (dry, for dust removal) and one of those DiscWasher brushes with a few drops of D4 cleaning fluid? But now that various devices have been designed specifically for washing LPs, my whole collection has been restored and revitalized. I use both methods: ultrasonic (with a set-up much like yours) and goat-hair or microfiber brush/vacuum (with an Okki Nokki) for when there's stubborn dust/grit/goo that needs to be physically scrubbed out (gently). The multiple-disc capacity and timer feature of the ultrasonic -- just load up the records and let them spin -- is a dream. Fortunately, I have a back bathroom that can now be transformed into a record-washing facility whenever necessary...

Thank you for doing this. I have been thinking about a cleaner. Now I am better informed.

[@ForeverAnalog]

I like the Vevor at this price point! Thanks for watching!

[@HomeCinemaEnthusiast]

Great upload , this was a massive help to clean my old vinyl records 👌👌👌

[@ForeverAnalog]

Thank you!

[@ohyesitsme]

The Vevor has been recalled for safety issues in the UK

[@faultboy]

Probably grounding issues like many cheap chinese devices. If you are not testing the grounding on a newly bought cheap china device nobody can help you...

[@earthoid]

I have a Spin-Clean washer but I’m kind of lazy and hardly ever use it. I’m debating if I would use the Vevor enough to justify its purchase but the price does seem reasonable. Thanks for the review.

[@ForeverAnalog]

Thanks for watching. The vevor has really improved some dirty records I bought recently!

[@kev5621]

Good stuff. I’m thinking of trying the vevor, then drying them on my record doctor

[@ForeverAnalog]

Awesome!

Quick dust with makeup brush, preclean with Groovewasher G2, 2 lps then go in ultrasonic bath for about 10 minutes, dry on 30 year old vacuum machine, finish drying on supplied rack. Excellent results. Have cleaned about 1,000 lps this way. By far the best cleaning method reults. And for those who brag they never cleaned lps back in the day, that's because they were new. Most of my lps are between 35 and 75 years old.

[@ForeverAnalog]

Awesome!

[@briannewell6064]

I have 3000 lp's to clean so it has to be quick. I load them on the Vevor with the motor and armature off to the side and then mount the whole works on the basin. I take them off in the same manner. Next it's over to the Vinyl Style Record Cleaner cleaner for a distilled water rinse

[@FelixtheMetalcat]

Never heard of the Vevor. It looks and operates quite similar to my Spin Clean. Only difference is mine is manual...and does a helluva job of cleaning. It costs a third of the Vevor also but I have to admit, I may have gone the Vevor way if I had known. Really nice comparison overall and I think it will help vinyl lovers understand that cleaning really works.

[@ForeverAnalog]

Thank you! The Spin Clean is great. I assumed these ultrasonic cleaners were too pricey but Vevor seems to have figured out how to make one at an appealing price point! Thanks again for watching and sharing!

Wait...you guys aren't just bringing them into the shower with you? I was led astray. Thanks for the video, I currently use a label protector clamp and clean with a little soap and water in my sink but its sort of a pain.

[@ForeverAnalog]

Yeah I had to change my plans when my wife accidentally used the record cleaning solution instead of shampoo.

Good video on your record cleaning machine I have 2 ultrasonic record cleaner machine they are hihone digital ultrasonic cleaner machine and the humminguru ultrasonic cleaner machine and 2 vacuum machine record doctor VI and X and I like record doctor X better because you can clean both sides automatically and they all do a great job cleaning my records lot better than doing the spin clean record washer by hand keep up the good work on your videos.

[@FelixtheMetalcat]

Yes Kramer, I make a salad while cleaning my records in the shower also...😂😂

[@bkatbamna]

I do a max of 4 or 5 records at a time. When I add more than that, it seems like the US doesn't pulse the water surface.

[@ForeverAnalog]

Great point, thank you!

[@adolph253]

Do you need an adapter to clean 45’s on the Vevor?

[@ForeverAnalog]

Not necessarily. It helps but if you push together with enough copies it will work

[@chuckmaddison2924]

I like ultra sonic. I've had experience with US on fuel injection. It cleans everything off.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

There is a modulator for the vevor speed after market. Also 30 minutes? Where do you get that time from? Those ultrasonics are made to strip varnish from carberators, etc. I'd be careful with the time you are using. I go 10 minutes and no more than 80 degree F. I also noticed that you don't offer up a cleaning solution for the vevor. Mine is a cap of 99% alcohol, cap of photoflo, and distilled water. I've done 8 but some people say you can't get the sonic action bc of the lack of space so do 4 maybe.

[@ForeverAnalog]

Thanks!

[@WDeranged]

I'm not saying you won't see results but these generic ultrasonic baths aren't suited to cleaning more than two widely spaced records at a time. Also the rotational speed is much too fast with the supplied adapter. You can find generic variable adapters that will let you slow the spin speed right down.

[@ForeverAnalog]

Great point thank you!

[@tomo287]

Ich habe aktuell nur 5 LPs, da lohnt sich die Anschaffung eines Ultraschallreinigers nicht; es gibt aber bei Amzn einen einfachen Lp Reiniger für etwa 60 Euro, welcher für bis zu 500 Lps, aber nach Kundenbewertungen maximal 350 Lps reicht! Vor Jahren hatte ich eine Plattensammlung von rund 400 Alben, Maxis & Singles, welche nach der Trennung bei der Exfreundin blieben, weil mein Vater nicht nochmal meine Restsachen bei der Frau holen wollte; er meinte dazu, die Platten wären eh nichts wert! Ich habe dann angefangen, meine liebsten Titel auf CD nachzukaufen, und vor einem halben Jahr gab es dann einen neuen Plattenspieler wegen einer Hörspielplatte aus den siebzigern, die es nur als Lp gibt, und ja, Musik Lps kommen auch wieder hinzu!🥰

WAIT A MINUTE! THAT ULTRASONIC MACHINE IS ONLY $200? REALLY? This is the only channel I've seen that's reviewed it- all the others are plugging Humminguru and other expensive gizmos!

[@ForeverAnalog]

Yep, I too was surprised by the low price. I've seen a few other channels review the Vevor and yeah my friend has the Hummingbird but I still like the idea of cleaning more than one record at a time like the Vevor offers. Thanks for watching!

[@knockshinnoch1950]

@@ForeverAnalog Thanks for taking time to reply. It certainly is a very attractive proposition- competitive price that is not outrageous and the multiple cleans in one session is a real clincher!

I clicked the link in the description and used the coupon. It was about $131.

30 mins is way too long. If it's not clean after 5mins it ain't getting any cleaner.

There is a timer you can use for whatever you like lol

[@davebrown8260]

The best way to clean vinyl records is buy CDs instead and never to worry about such nonsense ever again

[@ForeverAnalog]

Out of curiosity, why did you watch a video about cleaning vinyl? When I get these comments I’m always curious why anyone feeling this way would even watch in the first place. I love KZbin but I’m not spending time watching videos about motorcycles when I know I’ll never buy or ride one lol.

I own a 15 year old record doctor. And I have noticed exposed white paper on label. Pink Ink was partially washed away on my Allman Brothers, Fillmore East Live album. Do not use too much water.
