Do you use the traditional VPI type of cleaning machines or the Ultrasonic cleaners

[Jeb]

Which model of Vevor did you get ?

The 6L model. It is probably fairly basic compared with the brand-name ultrasonic cleaners, but it works well enough for me at the moment. I paid 130 USD for it shipped to my home address.

That's the same one I used (and still use for filthy LPs) until I changed to my HumminGuru.

If you buy the Delrin wand you’ll never have to buy a wand again.

Had to look up the Delrin wands. I've one a 16.5 for 25 years. Used one wand for wash, second for initial rinse and third for final rinse. Cracked the number 1 tube hand have been just using two wands because I was having trouble justifying $45 for a wand. Having a harder time with $85 for a Delrin. However if one of the two goods one crack I probably go that route and not worry about it. I mostly ultra sonic clean and use the VPI to rinse and dry.

The HummingGuru is much nicer, I’m sure, but the Vevor can’t be beaten on price.

The Vevor does a good job. I used my ancient Nitty Gritty Vacuum machine to dry the LPs after the US. wash. The HumminGuru is, primarily, for ease of use, and it is quieter (my cleaning machines are in the bedroom with the "third system").

I used a VPI 16.5 for almost 30 years, and it did a perfectly decent job. A few months ago, however, I bought a large-tank Vevor-based ultrasonic cleaner, and I have been quite surprised by how effective it is. I think the inexpensive ultrasonic cleaner produces considerably better results than my VPI.

The VPI is easier and quicker to use, whereas the Vevor requires enough dirty records to justify going through the whole cleaning process.

I am happy with my vevor Ultrasonic cleaner. After a couple reading about how Ultrasonic work I found that two records at the time for eight min. is good enough for a deep cleaning. The record should be equidistant from the wall and between them. The test was, after cleaning and drying I played it with no dust collected in the stylus. For a used record, first, I wash it manually then use the UC.
I am filtering the water before use to ensure there is no debris floating that could damage the record.
