From the manufacturer

The VC-E is a compact and very affordable record cleaning machine. Regardless of its size, the VC-E offers a lot of features:

The aluminium surface of the VC-E is able to withstand excessive fluid spill without compromising the chassis.

vc-e

A clamp seales the record label from cleaning fluid and avoids damage on the label.

The VC-E is super powerful and cleans records in as little as one or two rotations. The very best results are achieved with one rotation forward followed by one backwards.

It turns the record superfast within 2 seconds per rotation, which is about 3 times faster than comparable cleaning machines. The result is a much faster and more effective cleaning process.

The robust metal arm is easy to use, mechanically stable and focuses all suction power directly onto the record surface.

clamp

If you are looking for a compact and yet affordable record cleaning machine, the VC-E is definitely your choice.

Our environmental-friendly and non-alcoholic vinyl cleaning concentrate, Wash-IT, offers very good cleaning results and reduces static charge, so record wear and stylus wear are significantly reduced.

"For any LP lover who wants to hear every bit of potential sonic goodness from his LPs, the VC-E would be an excellent way to boost your record collection up to a cleaner state of being." – Steven Stone, The Absolute Sound "The VC-E not only worked well, equaling or bettering the cleaning prowess of my Nitty Gritty 1.5Fi at twice the price (when available) -- it's also better built, and looks more modern. For $499, the VC-E is easy to recommend to anyone looking for a good record cleaner that's good-looking and should last a very long time. I'm keeping this one." – Doug Schneider, SoundStage!

Customers say

Customers like the ease of cleaning and performance of the record cleaner. For example, they mention it cleans records really well and is easy to use. That said, opinions are mixed on noise, value, and build quality.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews

13 customers mention13 positive0 negative

Customers find the cleaning process of the record cleaner to be easy. They mention that it cleans records really well, is amazing, and is much easier than manually cleaning a record by hand. The one-step cleaner and brush are pretty good, and the cleaning machine works great especially if you are trying to play old albums. It is a very powerful record cleaner that saves you time, and it vacuums the solution off very adequately.

Customers are mixed about the noise of the record cleaner. Some mention that the process was good and the sound level was not too loud when operating. They also say that many of their records sound silent. However, some customers say that it has a vacuum for suction so it makes noise, and that sometimes it seems like records sound noisier after cleaning them.

8 customers mention5 positive3 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the product. Some mention that it's worth the cost, while others say that the plastic clips used to hold the fan assembly in place are cheap and expensive to replace.

"...expensive of vinyl record cleaners, but it is perhaps the best for the price range...." Read more

"...VERY cheap plastic, explodes with the slightest impact and is expensive to replace. Definitely disappointing for something at this price...." Read more

"...If you love vinyl this is worth every penny." Read more

"...than having to spend $180 more...but I must admit this machine is worth the cost...." Read more

7 customers mention4 positive3 negative

Customers are mixed about the build quality of the vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it has excellent suction, while others say that it's fragile and cheaply built. The fan assembly breaks off the chassis and the clamp is made of cheap plastic that explodes with the slightest impact.

"...Moving it around to drain it (gently) resulted in the fan assembly breaking off the chassis, causing one of the hoses to disconnect...." Read more

"...It truly is a remarkable product!" Read more

3 customers mention0 positive3 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the appearance of the ce accessory. They mention that the vent on top blows right onto the underside of the vinyl, and that it was defective.

"...Then of course there's the serious and brain-dead design flaw - the exhaust spraying up into the bottom of the record you're cleaning...." Read more

"I received the replacement machine. Unfortunately it too was defective...." Read more

"I purchased this and returned it. Three design flaws to consider. 1. Vent on top blowing right onto underside of vinyl. Not smart. 2...." Read more

This is preliminary at best. I've watched review after review on this product and many others. I finally decided to pull the trigger. It is not the most expensive of vinyl record cleaners, but it is perhaps the best for the price range.I purchased open box as I was able to save $65 off of retail. I didn't expect original packaging, and it was available via Prime, but shame on you Amazon. It was literally tossed in a box 5x too big with very little package support. See pics.I plugged it in an did a basic operational test before I tried to clean an album I didn't want to ruin. I motor operated in both directions w/o issue, and quietly, a plus. I then turned the vac and it seem to "suck". So on to the clean test...I took a really bad and thin Bowie album and ran it through the cleaning operation on both sides. It worked as I wanted it to. On to a not so cherished album and another test. This one also cleaned up very well and played with almost no noise and popping. On to yet another album and yeah, it worked too.Finally on to one an album I purchase used on eBay and have anxiously been waiting for a cleaner to play. It was filthy when it arrived. See before and after pics. After both sides were cleaned, on to my turntable it went and I'm listening it to it now. It sounds great, so far, so very good.I have a few dozen used albums that need cleaning, which I'll do this weekend an post another update afterwards.SUMMARY: Works as I hoped it would, but I need to run it thought it's paces to make sure there was no damage inflicted during shipping. Shame, shame, shame on the team the "re-boxed" it, or rather tossed it in a box w/ insufficient packing.
