Vinyl care purchase: HumminGuru HG01, directly from China, via New Delhi!

After a little period of money saving, I have finally bought the cheapest ultrasonic cleaner for my modest record collection:

the famous HUMMINGURU HG01!

I've bought it online from the manufacturer ( LINK ); the shipping takes about four days to reach Italy-very fast!

Now, my impression after washing three very dirty 45 rpm 12" records and two 33 rpm albums.

I've used the same mixture for these records: distilled water with three drops of Small Bottle cleaning agent, the official HumminGuru product.

The three 45s were very dirty, as I said; well, they are reborn! Good basses and clean voices in the listening.
I used the 5 minutes cleaning, aka the deep cleaning process for all records and light drying (selector on I).
Note, the cleaner works with 40 kHz ultrasonic system.

Satisfied!

Unfortunately a little clicks and pops are still audible, but I think these are part of the "vinyl game"-it's inevitable.
I can listen to CDs for a perfect and clean sound.

Well, talking about the two albums I've cleaned:
first was cleaned with the same process used for the 45s; good result.
Second one, washed with the 2 minutes cleaning and dried:

bad result!

At the listening session, the record still sounds bad, with a lot of clicks-not good!
I need to put this record in the HG again, probably.

So, my final impression is OK!

The HumminGuru does the job well but not perfecly; it's a good way to remove huge dirt and dust on old records. You can hear great differences, but don't expect the clean sound of a CD!! For that, you can think of purchasing a Degritter or an AudioDesk, but first: look at the prices of these machines!!

Thanks for reading!

See you on sunday.

A note in italian for italian buyers:

se pensate di acquistare la vostra HumminGuru HG01 (non la Nova!) direttamente dal sito del venditore, tenete presente questi punti:

-ad oggi, Agosto 2025, ha impiegato ad arrivare in Italia circa quattro (4) giorni, nonostante la dogana;

-lo sdoganamento, ad oggi Agosto 2025, mi è costato ben 78,05 €.
