I’ve owned (and used) record cleaning machines for about 35 years, including HW17, HW16.5, HW16, Nitty Gritty 2.5 Fi, ... the MW1 is the best of the lot. It’s industrial quality, and it cleans better than any of the others I’ve owned. People complain that it costs a lot. If you’re committed to maintaining vinyl, it’s worth it. It’s way cheaper than a high end MC cartridge, it’s cheaper than a high end tonearm cable, cheaper than a tonearm, etc. It’s built in the USA by very nice people. Yes, you buy cheaper ... if you’re compelled to save some money, get the HW16.5 instead (I have one too). But in my experience, the MW1 gives a better sonic result than the HW16.5, as good as the 16.5 is. I’m very happy with Mat’s first named/numbered product. It bodes well for the future of VPI. I strongly recommend the MW1 as both an excellent performer AND an excellent value when you consider the build quality.

Loving this cleaner! I’ve cleaned about 30 records so far and I’m enjoying the final result more than my Audiodesk Glasse system results. The process is so short and easy. Highly recommend.

Bueatiful Machine. Works flawlessly. This machine is built to last and is one of the best investments of my system so far. I don’t know why I waited so long to get a RCM and I’m glad I went for the upgraded Cyclone over the 16.5. Upscale is top notch and a pleasure to do business with from their customer service to their packaging/shipping department. 5 stars
