I'm thinking of purchasing an Okki Nokki record cleaning machine.

Does anyone have any experience with one of these and can anyone recommend them? Are they actually any good?

I understand that it won't magically revive damaged vinyl, but I am hoping to improve on some records that look visibly perfect, but suffer from pops and crackles. Has anyone had any successes or failures using one of these machines?

They get favorable write ups. For the most part it looks like a vpi with a more attractive housing.

what I can tell you is that a vacuum cleaning machine is a revelation if you haven't used one before. The absolutely make a noticeable, and in some cases astounding inference in sound quality. A vacuum cleaning machine is well worth the investment.

@static14 - Thanks for your advice. Some of the vacuum cleaning machines are very expensive (the Okki Nokki isn't exactly cheap!) so I was really interested to see if it was worth the investment.

I'm looking to set up with Okki Nokki to sell them at my store (and hopefully online). I notice that typical retail prices go for about $500 on the machine. We would be able to sell them for $400. We're only going to get them if we have at least a couple of people interested, so post here if you want one. We'll sell their goat-hair brushes for $30, and I see that they typically go for $40 anywhere else, so let me know if you're interested in one of those too.

We have one and it is incredible , quiet but an absolute workhorse.
Would not be without it
