How many records will it clean before the brushes and rollers need replaced?

If you treat them right, they will last a very long (thousands of records) time. Do not leave them in the tank overnight. Do your cleaning and if you want to use the SC the following day, remove the brushes, rinse them in warm tap water and squeeze the excess onto a paper towel. Put them up to dry. Toss a few drops of solution on them the following day , slip them into place and get back to work. Easy Peasy!

The instructions say that the brushes and rollers are good for 10,000 record cleanings. I have officially cleaned so far over 2,000+ and they look just like the day I got them! So far so good as far as the company claims. Hope this helps with your question. I love my Spin Clean. Best money I ever spent for my record collection.

I've cleaned over 200 in the last couple of months and I think the brushes are like new as well.

Here's a tip to keep the brushes extra clean: I use a piece of tape to get all the little pieces of lint and stuff off the brushes from earlier cleanings.

The rollers will last a long long time. I personaly have cleaned over 350 albums and I clean them very well and are just thinking about looking for replacements brushes. By a big jug of the liquid because you will need it if you have quite a few albums. Can't tell you how much I like mine and how big a difference it will make.

I've cleaned circa 250 LP and singles (some of them twice) and the brushes are still like new...

You may want to purchase the larger bottle of cleaning solution, small bottle will clean approximately 60 albums, and more drying cloths!!

As much as I would like to answer your question. I actually never used the cleaner. It was my husband's & he passed away before he ever saw it. I can tell you he was an audiophile & would never buy a product that would damage his extensive vinyl collection. His collection was pristine.

I actually bought the travel size cleaner tool. I matched the numbers for refill brushes, with the numbers on the card to order replacement brushe, that was inside the box when I bought it at BED,BATH & BEYOND, to the numbers that were listed under the brushes on Amazon and my matched.

I don't know. I would go to the Dirt Devil website and check. There should be phone number listed if you would prefer to call. There is also a number on the cleaner but I think that is for the warranty center. Sorry, I couldn't help more.

I haven't tried to clean but I am going to need my machine next week. I plan on cleaning it. I let you know.

It should be plenty for that amount of furniture. The cleaner takes more than the protector.

If you have vacuumed/swept before as indicated you won't get debris in the brushes. The whole bottom plate does get replaced as maintenance and the brush is on that part. I have only needed to replace 1 time in nearly a year

The dirt and grit seems to congregate at the bottom of the vat pretty quickly and the water appears clean during most of the process. The deep cleaning is really done in the brushes anyway, the water just keeps them flushed. That being said, depending on how dirty the records are, I usually don't clean more than 20 or so at a time, but if I have a lot to do I will let the water sit for a few hours (sometimes over night) and let the full amount of dirt settle to the bottom, add some more cleaner and water and then spin clean another 20. This process seems to work well for me.

It seems to depend on the frequency of use. I use the machine twice a day and I have cleaned 4 times since purchase of machine last August, 2013

Yes use a vacume cleaner depends on how much use . May be replace once a year.

The complete kit contains a large bottle ($29.99) and small bottle of cleaning fluid, 2 sets of cleaning brushes ($24.99/each pair) and more cloths ($14.95). The total value of the complete kit is about $145. You probably won't need extra brushes for a while if you take care of them. If you have a lot of records to clean, the small bottle of cleaning fluid won't last long. I'm not a fan of the cloths. They are on the small side and get wet very quickly. It's up to you. If you buy the starter kit, I'd recommend ordering a large bottle of cleaning fluid. Still, for what you get, the complete kit is a better value.

I have had mine for 20 years and am still using it. It cleans just as good as it did on day one. I have a very large record collection of over 200 albums and 500 45s if this helps any.

I use 2 in my Z machine. Have done so for over 3 years. Excellent cleaning.

I have approximately 150 new "Audiophile' 180-200 gr LP's. I use my older set of black felt pads to clean the wider LP's. This cleans them very well with out scratching them. I get about 3-400 cleans and replace my cleaning pads but keep the better worn ones for the heavier graham weights.

sorry don't know, don't have paperwork anymore, if it were me I would not buy another one of these since it is hard to get the replacement brushes and hard to change on the device itself.

Stylus cleaners are available nowadays, however a soft-tip toothbrush works as well. Just remember to always swipe back to front. Keeping your records clean helps a lot as well.
