I bought this to replace an old Pro-Ject record cleaner that had failed. I like the magnetic clamp that is a big improvement. I hope the claimed improvement in the vacuum bearing is true as this is where my old one failed. There are a couple of thing that could have been better the size of the supplied cleaning fluid is quiet small. As it is ready mixed solution a more generous size could have been added in the package. There is no option to fit a cover on this model which would have been a nice touch. The brush supplied is the biggest negative for me I like the goat hair brush that had be included in previous models. I find it is much better at getting into the grooves. Overall a good vinyl cleaner that will reduce dust and dirt on vinyl.

Tuotteen tiedot
The new VC-S3 is their new premium record cleaning machine with completely new superior features. Vinyl records need a specific maintenance. The dry brush cleaning before playing the record is good to roughly remove dust. To effectively clean the grooves, you need to wet clean the record. To achieve the perfect cleaning, Pro-Ject also need a suitable cleaning fluid. Alcoholic cleaning fluids can destroy musical micro information of the grooves. That‘s the reason why Pro-Ject designed their new eco-friendly non-alcoholic cleaning fluid called „Wash it 2“. their new Wash it 2 is a pre-mixed liquid, so you don‘t has to dilute the concentrate yourself anymore. This avoids accidentally using unsuitable tap water for mixing. With Wash it 2 Pro-Ject can optimize the cleaning performance again. The VC-S3 is very powerful and cleans records completely in one to two revolutions.
Made in Europe!
The new magnetic clamp not only seals the record label from cleaning fluid to avoid damage on the label, but it also speeds up the whole cleaning process. Place your record on the machine, put on the clamp and you are ready to go – no more tedious screwing of the clamp anymore. The robust easy to use metal arm is mechanically stable and focuses all suction power directly onto the record surface. Paired with new self-adhesive arm strip your records get cleaned perfectly. The large internal container (2,5 litres) collects used fluid and is effortlessly easy to empty. When using Wash it 2 cleaning solution, the fluid will also evaporate in the container, meaning the container will almost never need to be emptied even after cleaning thousands of records. It shows fill-up capacity and guarantees no spillage of used cleaning fluid. The new VC-S3 is made in Europe with high quality materials and an excellent build-quality. With many practical features and excellent mechanical operation, the VC-S3 effectively combines industrial design appeal with an easy solution to great sound from your vinyl records.

I'm still getting used to the machine but so far the results have been excellent; vinyl records sounding much clearer.
I thought about an ultrasonic cleaner but was not confident that they would clean as well. Also the affordable machines I looked at needed emptying and refilling after every record which seemed very time-consuming. The Pro-Ject is very easy to use and although you can only clean one side at a time the vacuum dries the record enough so that you can turn it over immediately. Likewise the record can be played straight away as it dries very well. So far any records that I have cleaned are free from noise where they had pops or crackles previously. As a home user the large fluid reservoir is unlikely to ever need emptying as any fluid evaporates before requiring the user to do so. The unit is well made, lightweight, despite its size, very easy to use and so far seems to be doing a good job of cleaning my vinyl collection. Very pleased.
