I have been using an iSonic P4875II+MVR10 for the past 3 1/2 yrs, running close to 4,000 LPs through it. About a month ago the original motor died. After discussion with Jerry @ iSonic I decided to upgrade to Pro with the Pump Station. The difference is amazing; cleaning at a faster speed (10rpm vs 5rpm), Drying with the high-speed spin, water is being filtered in the tank and on return from the pump station (my previous unit used a homemade filter), and there is little chance of a mess refilling the tank. My findings: - My records, many from the '60s and '70s, are cleaner than ever. - My records sound better than ever. It's a great feeling when a friend comments "Where's the noise?"

hi i received my machine today and theres a couple of things im not sure about. firstly what are the 6 little spacers for (not the label saving pucks)? secondly mine is the P4875II+MVR10 model and i get how to set it up for 10 but assuming i just wanted to do one record do i just fill out the extra space on the shaft with all the label saving pucks and do i put the recored in to the side or centre it? any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

I just got my P4810 I love it!

Plastic cups will drastically reduce the efficiency of ultrasonic machines because it absorbes the impact. Use a glass cup instead

What kind of liquid

This is begging to mess up the movement. Please never do this again. Remove the movement and then do this.

Wife just picked up a bottle of the concentrate. Smells great. Performance is amazing. I filled up my commercial L&R US machine (mfg date - 1989!) and sure enough, the solution outperformed anything I have ever used. Superb!

I thought you’re not supposed to put a fully assembled watch into an ultrasonic cleaner ?????

I cant seem to find anywhere the answer to this question i have. After how many records do you discard the water mixed with the iSonic surfactant?

I own a 6.1 for my record shop. Do you offer trade in for an upgrade to 6.2?

I have had this isonic machine almost a year. Today I used one capful of your blue cleaning solution to clean 10 records however it has left a film on each record that had to be re-cleaned with a brush and my okki nokki system. Sometimes the brush doesn’t get the film off and I have to scrub with te microfiber cloth to remove the film off the records. In other occurrences I find that sometimes records don’t always get clean the first time if the machine is fully loaded with 10 albums (even at a 15 minute cycle) and I essentially have to do a pre wash with the okki nokki or hand cleaning with a microfiber(especially finger prints or grime) Also is heating the water necessary?

Just ordered mine! Love the iSonic cleaner!

Why don't you instruct people on how to use the unit?

well done,,,,

Great video. I am using the P4875II+MVR10-Pro with great results. I clean 5 records at a time. I examine the records as they are cleaned with a USB microscope and they are really clean. In addition there are no noises and the records sound much better, with blacker backgrounds, more dynamic, better definition and details, better soundstage. I am using the new tank for recirculating the water and I use two additional filters before degassing and using the ultrasonic machine. Great product!

Dimpling on an aluminum foil record should be even, gentle, no holes. Dimpling should be convex and not concave, as cavitation creates bubbles that collapse creating a vacuum. The vacuum generated by the imploding bubbles would see dimples not holes. Note the images when zoomed into notes where there are areas of no cavitation detected. The statement about keeping records in longer as there are more records inserted and the proposed explanation for considerstion goes against the issues that surround how ultrasonics work. The closer the spacing of records, as one is now in reading the load, sees a proportional increase in standing waves generated which are reflected downwards. Called ultrasonic loading factor. As illustrated in other published test results by others with 10 or 12 records inserted , in practice, efftects of cavitation of the single double stack transducer decreases and where insertion of the cavitation energy meter shows reduction in cavitational energy. Aluminum foil records show the noted change detected by the cavitation energy meter and increased uneveness. Keeping records in for a longer period of time does not create the reduction in energy. Foil testing should see one revolution. Whether for one, four, ten or 12 records. Even cavitation should be noted on the foil. Correlates with the use of the cavitational energy meter between all records and from bottom to top. Of course a variance is expected. As seen in the foil test, obe, to maximize cavitational energy, a lower frequency creates more suited sized implosions to remove the release agent, plasticizer outgassing, films left over from prior cleanings that were spin, forced air or vacuum dried as well as dirt, dust, fungus, and like sized particles. The video should have shown all foil records all sides with cavitation measurements taken between records as well as outer records and wall, from bottom of the tank to just below the water line. One revolution should suffice so to see cavitational distribution. Indeed a slot based manufacturer using a 7.1 liter tank has provided details as well as where others have confirmed via independent testing the even cavitation on all four aluminum foil test records, where there are no tears in foil, seen even distribution and with properly sized even dimpling on all sides of all foil records including sides located to the stainless steel tank walls and respective record sides, from edge of all records and dead wax area, all sides. Standing waves and passive resonance evens out the cavitation. Cavitational energy is also measured between all records, and tank walls and records, from edge of record [near bottom of tank] to the dead wax area, at 810 Cavins plus or minus 10%. This sais and to the science, Adding a fifth record in a peers slot machine just described negates the effectiveness of cavitation making contact with a 7.1 liter tank using three transducers. The matter of records being suspended on rollers has no bearing. Further, Adding a 6th record with the same denominator further affects the effectiveness of cavitation. It decreases. Thus in the peers slot based machine referred to with a 7.1 liter tank and three transducers with 810 Cavins, only 4 records may be processed. Not more. One would quantify the video shown where reduction in tank size and reduction of the number of transducers affecting cavitational energy and increase in frequency could account for what was seen on one record, one side. Many images of tests made by third parties using foil and cavitational energy measuring devices confirms the hypothesis and design sited.

Cavitation as measured is flawed in thus vudeo it would seem. First. Every ultrasonic manufacturer plots the cavitational energy from the bottom of the tank at a half inch height, from one side to another, at many points in the tank. X y z plotting with many measurements taken in a grid fashion. Then they raise the probe to another height, say 3/4 of an inch. They repeat the process. They then plot energies at a higher level, and finally just below the water line, top water level. A 3d rendition may be produced. The measurements are then read in Cavins or Watts per Square Centimeter at each point. The video does not show this from all areas in the tank at multiple levels. If the same tests were performed and as there was seemingly no resonance added, one will note the uneven energy just the same at one level o er another. Supported by the destruction of the aluminum foil, high impact areas and broken foil while other areas had no cavitational energy detected. Testing should be done with loaded tank between all records one would expect if one follows the science. To the test used by others and as to record processing, there is an issue called ultrasonic loading. If more records are processed and in a proper test, 10 or 12 vinyl records should be mounted in the machine as sold and advertised and where the energy meter is placed between the furthest record and the wall of the stainless steel tank, then between all records, then the last record and the oposite stainless steel wall. The readings should be taken at the records edge, 1/2 way up, then just below the water's surface accounting for the dead wax area. If resonance was present the readings should vary by a small percentage. Did not see this measurement as made by Fremer. The foil shows uneven cavitation in this video of one record. And tears.on the aluminum foil. There should be 10 or 12 aluminum foil records be shown in real time and with results shown of all records, all sides. One revolution as a standard test. Aluminum foil test records should see even and gentle cavitation from the record's edge to the dead wax area, all records, all sides, in this case 12 records, events and completeness no matter where they are placed in the machine, with no tears. As summarized by Fremer and others. Cavitation energy meter should be used showing energy levels between records at various levels and not taken in an empty tank at one level as seen. There are more complete results on other postings of more complete testing of a 10 record set up.

It’s so clean all I can see is the video text!

Let's try this again, I put a lot of time and effort into a previous comment and I don't know what happened to it. Anyways, this pump station is a game changer for anyone who is cleaning records. I have the P4875II pro model, and I was always frustrated with having to drain the water into some sort of device and then pour it back in. You always end up spilling a little bit here or there and it tended to be a messy process. This pump station has completely changed the entire process as well as sped it up. It is all self-contained and works very well. The water lasts much longer with the pump station since it has an additional filter. I am now getting anywhere from 100 to 140 records cleaned before having to swap out the water. It also makes the process much simpler. Draining the water takes approximately a minute to a minute and a half. Filling the station back up takes another minute to minute and a half. The only downside to the entire thing is the pump station draining function works off of a timer. The timer ends before it drains all of the water. Simply turning the switch off and back on again will allow you to finish draining the tank. Not that big of a deal. The isonic guys have developed new brackets to lift the records slightly higher which takes care of the issue. For me just turning the switch on and off is easy enough. Anyways, if you're considering this unit know that it is pretty amazing. Feel free to reach out with any comments or questions. I have had in mind for about three months now and will absolutely love it.

*Promo sm* 🤣

Can you post the links to sounds reviews in the description? I talked to you guys at the CAF and I’m thinking of buying the 6.1 for Christmas. Is Amazon a good place to purchase your products?

Were you talking about AR coating on eyeglasses? Whether coating could be destroyed depending on the coating quality. If it's coating with solid quality then there is no problem when used with a proper solution such as iSonic Jewelry/Eye Wear Cleaning Solution Concentrate #CSGJ01. To share a personal experience, I've been cleaning my own eyeglasses with multiple coatings on them for about 10 years using iSonic ultrasonic cleaners and solution, and I have no problem.

I thjnk i brought a dud machine. It blew just switchjng it on.

My input plug to my machine sparked and the machine is not going. How do i get it repaired as it blew first time i switched it on.

Works great. Just got mine. Love it.

The watch has to be a diver's watch otherwise it can't be cleaned like this. We have cleaned many diver's watches this way and no customers had reported problems.

Wouldnt this mess up the watch and the accuracy of the watch.

How long it takes to be done?

Lindíssimos 😍 😍👏👏👏👏👏

How many 30 minute cycles should a person expect to run for a batch of liposomal vitamin C?

It is advertised as the quietest among others, and I am wondering if this is achieved by smaller count of transducers? Also, the speed (10rpm) does appear to be too fast for cleaning, at least when compared to the other models around. Any comment on that?

Which model would you recommend for cleaning 78 rpm records?

Would you recommend this over the p4875II? Why or why not?

I got mine last week. I'm impressed with the results.

On the iSonic P4820 there is an option for a stainless steel basket or a plastic basket. Is there any reason to buy one over the other?

I own an isonic model. I am having some issues with it that I am trying to resolve. Customer service has been great so far. Having to drain out the fluid ever time seems like a really big waste of cleaning solution. Why not add some type of track on both sides so that you can lift the records high enough so that they can spin out of the solution? Then remove the records, add some new ones and repeat the process.

Have you or anyone you know using this method had the liposomes checked for nanometer size?

Thanks for your feedback. Ultrasonic cavitation are millions of microscopic air bubbles. The spaces between the albums are much bigger for the cavitation as long as the ultrasonic power is high enough to reach the height of the LPs. Seller of the slot-type of the ultrasonic vinyl record cleaners is spread this fake theory. Try with 10 LPs and you'll find out. With 8-9 LPs, you do need to remove the filter before swinging down or swinging up the records to avoid rubbing the LPs on the filter.

This video is a must watch as the instruction manual is lacking. Even then, there's a few things I had to figure out on my own re: assembly as well as a bit of a learning curve. IMO it should also come with at least 1 extra label protector and/or shorter spacer. I'm doing 5 LP's which I feel is necessary for maximum surface cavitation and the extra spacers would be helpful for centering the records in the bath. I had planned to get an Audio Desk or DeGritter, but was concerned over reliability stories. I'm really happy I chose this instead. The spin dry would probably work in warmer weather, right now I need to finish off using my vacuum cleaner. The DIY aesthetic aside, a huge bang for the buck with impressive results.

First and foremost this thing works AWESOME for cleaning records on the deepest levels. ...and I'm not talking about cleaning records you found in a box at a garage sell . I mean it will lol, but I"m talking more about that brand new record you bought and looks glossy mint and yet you still hear some light pops in the deadwax when you first played it. Even after cleaning it with a brush/solution or a spin clean. This thing gets into the deapest levels of the grooves and pulls out stuff that you couldn't even imagine was there. You will find this thing will not remove a fingerprint. You still may have to wipe that with a microfiber cloth, but this will clean inside the grooves to where you records will sound like hey made a full grade upgrade. VG+ to EX+ playback. I'm a very anal collector. Over 90% of my 3000+ collection is EX to NM grade. Less than 350 of them are VG+. I'm obsessive on collectable condition and yet this thing took my collection to a new level in terms of play quality. It made most of my deadwax play like "cd deadwax" silent. Worth every freakn' penny and I ran ever single one of my records through it. Nothing now comes into my collection not matter how NM or brand new it is without being ran through this. The only thing I would say I don't think is worth it here is the spin dry option. Draining that doesn't make much sense just to spin dry because you can get the same fully dry effect by putting the records in a drying rack and simply setting a table top fan on the table right beside it. Totally dries in the same 10-15mins without the back and forth of draining and refilling. ...AND the time you don't spend draining and spinning you could already have the next batch of records being cleaned. As I said I just cleaned over 3000 albums in the first 30 days of having this thing so over 100 records per day lol.... I learned a lot fast lol.

How to repair, stopped working…

Hmmm, I have extra parts & no Black Knob!

Very puzzled why you are using camu camu powder as that is bound to contain other substances aside from Vit C in fact I read elsewhere that 5 grams of the powder would only yield 680mg of pure Vit C.

Good but some things not explained

Hi Isonic. I just got here and I am interested on getting an ultrasonic machine. Since you uploaded this video are there updates? Thank you.

Is the final step (using ultrasound) totally necessary? Does it make the mixture lipsomal, or doesn’t it make it more concentrated (by taking out the bubbles)?

Please let me know how I can order one from Hong Kong? Do you have an agent here?

Curious does this have to be made with vodka? So many recipes make it without. I was using a much cheaper smaller jewelry cleaner, and now WANT to try this bad boy.

Isonic jumping on the liposome-make-a-buck bandwagon You only need to watch the youtube videos of Thomas Levy, the Vitamin C researcher and best selling author (youtube video "Liposome Science") He said flat out-- that the best you can do at home using an ultrasonic cleaner--is to produce emulsions and micelles, not liposomes. So my question for Isonic is where is your evidence that you can produce liposomes?
