vpi cleaner

I was looking for a cleaner and decided on the vpi. The 16.5 seems to be the popular model but cost doesn't really matter with in reason I could go to the 17 would this be a worth wile upgrade or am I just wasting money. I want the simplest thing possible and it probably won't get use to much just here and there.

Should add that I had cleaned about 500-600 lps when the seam split, and I'm still using the 16.5 now.

The 16.5 is a classic, it was my first contact with such a Design. A bit loud, but with increase amount of cleaning fluids today you can get good results.
The 17 model is made for cleaning more records, it is available with a fan. I saw this unit mainly in shops from record dealers who sold vinyl and cleaned them before shipping.

I would buy an Okki Nokki RCM over a 16.5. Better build quality, auto shut off when waste cleaning fluid reservoir fills. All metal construction.

I almost bought the 16.5, but at the same price for the Okki Nokki, the decision was easy.
