“Great product for keeping your vinyl sounding like new. Restores your vinyl to as close as possible to original condition - don't confuse with record cleaning. You will will need to invest time, repetition and attention to detail to use this system properly. However on the up side its worth the $$ personal audio gratification. My only criticism i encourage Mr. Kirmus to invest in a professional user training video production to accompany the purchase, rather than a collection of home-grown hoge-poge videos on utube I will ALWAYS use Upscale audio for professional HIFI gear!”

“This product is as advertised, it is excellent at restoring vinyl records. I would recommend it to anyone with a large collection. Mr Kirmuss is knowledgeable and will answer any questions regarding its use.”

“Great potential, but some issues. First, and not terribly important, but an issue, is that the temperature indicator lights go up to red almost immediately, when water is not at all warm. More troublesome is that the slots closest to the motor mechanism on the underside of the lid are easily misjudged, letting the record be scratched by contacting that hard plastic if the record isn't inserted perfectly vertically. Along the same line, and the biggest issue by far with potential for serious record damage, is that the foam guides/strips are apparently not glued in very well, as I have had 3 of them peel out of that little housing while operating, again leading to records being scratched against that hard plastic housing. When it wasn't falling apart, it was great. Unfortunately, that lid situation has led to me having several scratched records that were perfect before. Is there a better solution to those little foam strip housings? There were a couple extra included, but at this point I'm worried that I'm going to wreck more of my valuable records. Any suggestions, or is there an improvement in the works?”

“Well built, looks good, does a great job cleaning records, but very time consuming. Delivery was fast, doubled boxed with packing material. Overall I highly recommend this record cleaner and Upscale Audio.”

“The process with the cleaner unit is a little stop-start and tweaky, but I already knew that before I made the purchase. It seems to work fine, "as advertised". Refills of the cleaning fluid would be expensive but can by avoided by sourcing the non-toxic chemical ingredient from elsewhere.”

“Hi Upscale, I am still a newb at record restoration but the Kirmuss is as advertised. After restoration of a 1957 jazz record that was hard to play because of all the pops now only has minor surface noise. Just amazing. I’m Happy. Ken”
