Review

The functionality of the washing has no questions - it effectively takes all the pollution from the plate, is easy to use. But the assembly quality is terrible. It broke almost a month after the purchase! At one point, the vacuum cleaner motor swearing as abnormal and smoke went from the sink. I used the sink exclusively according to the instructions - in the evening soap a couple of records before listening, I didn’t put it on a commercial stream :) What is this - a factory marriage or my unlucky is unknown, because 20 days have passed since the delivery of the sink under the warranty, but there is no conclusion, the terms of repair too.

Pros

Great washing, for relatively not high cost. Assembly at the level, all the necessary kit with a brush and liquid.

Minuses

The air exit hole under the plate, but it’s not scary for me. I use a plastic false under the plate.

Review

After the transition from a manual washing to this one, just bastard. On the one hand, the cost for a beginner is so -so. But having 100+ albums in the collection, it is extremely inconvenient to operate with a hand sink! And in use everything is faster, more convenient and most importantly more effective than manual. The vacuum cleaner is noisy, but the main thing is doing its own efficiently and I play the records more pleasant, without noise and clicks from statics and dust.

Review

In general, the sink for your money is excellent, but there is a problem in assembly and packaging. Having opened the box, I found that the canister for mixing the distile and concentrate has a cut and flows. I had to replace with my capacity. Also, with the third use, rearranging the machine from the closet, a nut fell out of it :) Having turned the machine in the hands of it another nut fell out of it :)))) I did not encounter such a problem. Well, since the engineer did not go to the service, especially since there was no seal by car - I dismantled the structure and it turned out that the fastening of the vacuum cleaner was not at all screwed by nuts - they simply unscrewed from vibration! You need to make a counter nut to the guys on such nodes. The Czechs worked badly ... In general, having tightened the entire design of the vacuum cleaner and collecting the device again, it continues to work. I don’t know the truth for a long time :) The impression of the assembly leaves much to be desired of course. But the sink washes well, I repeat for that kind of money, I did not raise questions in the store why this happened. I did not quite understand why they put plastic stack, because there are enough brushes for uniformly applying the washing liquid, and then go through the vacuum cleaner as they wrote above. I had such problems. I hope you will not have such problems and this is an exception!

Review

I have been using this machine for six months. Included with it is a concentrate of cleaning liquid with a volume of 100 ml. But additionally I bought a bottle of 0.5 L cleaning liquid Analog Renaissance. I use this finished liquid so far. In addition, the kit includes a brush made of goat wool and a container with a dividing scale for the preparation of liquid from a concentrate. By the way, to prepare fluid, you need to use distilled water. It can be bought in a store of auto parts as a battery value. The passport says that 6 ml of liquid is consumed on one side of the plate. But from practice, I established that a maximum of 4 ml is enough. I apply a liquid with a syringe of 10 ml (without a needle). It is better to apply to a rotating plate. Then the liquid is distributed on the surface with a brush. Next, an excerpt is given in 60 seconds. With heavily polluted plates, I draw 2 minutes. Then I dress the pipe, turn on the "vacuum cleaner" and remove the liquid. At the same time, I rotate the disc 4-6 rpm in one direction, then the same number of revolutions in the other direction. Having removed the Clamp, it is worth checking whether the liquid remains near the "apple". If there is, we delete it. We turn the plate and repeat everything. I have two old Pink Floyd disks "The Dark Side of the Moon" and "Animals". I also bought a student in 1978. By the time of buying a car, it was not possible to listen to them and they seemed to be lying in a bag of flour. Students treated the discs not carefully. So, I decided to wash them for a sample. I gave an endurance for 2 minutes. The result was struck. They played, and even how. Of course, the light sand was present, but it did not interfere with any way. A tangible feeling of time was created. The rustles of time sharing our days and the end of the seventies. It should be noted that during the first playing, the needle pulled a small amount of dirt out of the path. But this is a special case with severe mud. Cleaned the needle. I did not observe this effect in more fresh records. My even new discs. There are no statics, it disappears. In short, to say that I am not enough. Struck by the achieved effect. Each vinyl disks lover simply must have such a device

Pros

1. The device is very soundly made, has a solid weight, stable. 2. Really cleans the plates, the increase in the sound field is really felt.

Minuses

1. This applies not to the apparatus itself, but by the records themselves, after washing, many begin to crack, apparently the defects of the vinyl itself are washed, and the obedient needle reads everything. Be ready for this.

Review

This apparatus was presented to me by the friend !!! I am very pleased, I wrote everything in the disadvantages and pluses of the review. Before that, I used brushes, napkins and a rug with liquid. I will say that the difference is significant! Cleans "washes" to conscience. Keep in mind, the machine works loudly, so it is best to engage in the procedure for washing in the daytime, if you live in an apartment building, is noisy louder than a vacuum cleaner. A washing liquid comes with the machine - a concentrate, honestly, there is a domestic manufacturer whose liquid I liked more, and it costs, by the way, cheaper. But, given the completeness of the supply of Pro-ject VC-E, the liquid coming with it left until ... other times. Those who have a decent collection of vinyl - I advise to acquire!
