About the VinylCleaner

The Nessie VinylCleaner is a German-engineered record cleaning machine designed for vinyl enthusiasts seeking a manual fluid application system combined with automatic vacuum drying. It features a motorized turntable platter that rotates at 30 rpm and automatically reverses direction every 30 seconds to ensure thorough cleaning. The machine includes a vacuum arm with a velveteen-lined suction slot that removes cleaning fluid and dissolved impurities from the record grooves without leaving residue. The device is housed in a high-gloss black acrylic case with chrome and stainless steel accents, and includes anti-static mats and a grounded stainless steel center pin to reduce electrostatic charges. The cleaning process involves placing the record on the platter, manually applying the proprietary Nessie Vinylin cleaning fluid, brushing the record surface, and then vacuuming the fluid off. The machine is relatively quiet due to sound insulation using Basotect acoustic foam and electronic regulation of the suction turbine. It has a 450 ml suction tank capacity and consumes 18W in cleaning mode and 175W during suction. Dimensions are approximately 300 x 330 x 250 mm, weighing about 7 kg. The VinylCleaner is considered an entry-level model in the Nessie lineup, with more advanced models offering automatic fluid dosing and additional features. It is praised for its effective cleaning performance, quiet operation, and elegant design.
