How well does it do vinyl. I have vinyl and trying to find a good machine to help clean as I have a bad back

It all depends on how bad your back is and how dirty your floor gets. If you only need light cleaning one of the light weight Shark steam cleaners might be better.

This machine will help you with your back. No need to press hard and hunch over due to the fact that it has 2 speeds of motion to gently "Scrub" the floor. I do have to remind myself from time to time that I dont NEED to hunch- lol. Hope this helps!!

I can't add much to that which has already been said; the point has been made that this is CLEANING EQUIPMENT, not magic. I would add, though, that if you find physical damage after cleaning, you might try some 1000-grit abrasive paper...wet-or-dry sandpaper as used in auto finishing...it can cut the tops of the scratches to remove the "curl" of vinyl. Sometimes there's improvement in sound. If it's a beloved disc you're trying to save, might be worth the time and effort.

THAT is why I bought the machine. My late dog Beau used the living room as his own private vomitorium and toilet. Some of those stains were several years old as my old machine had broken. I used double strength solution (4 capfuls per fill up versus the 2 capfuls the manufacturer recommended). The machine got the stains out in about two passes of the machine. This thing DEEP cleans. The coffee colored dirty water proved this to me. I highly recommend it. I used to town the Bissell upright vacuum type cleaner which did a passable job, but died after a couple of years. I'm hoping this machine will stand the test of time. Good luck.

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 set my system up not to create a digital server simply because while I love music, I do so many other things that I simply want to spin my vinyl collection and enjoy the sound. I don't want at this point to bother with transferring from one medium to another but I would venture to speculate that if your vinyl is in pretty good shape you will be surprised how good the rips will sound with this very inexpensive device. It was developed for people to pipe vinyl to a computer sound card so the processing that occurs seems to take bad signal out and leave behind good sonority. How exactly the circuitry works isn't completely swear because ya gotta remember that this device takes in analogue does something to that signal and puts out a cleaner analogue signal. Whether it's got two simple DACs inside or just analogue filters I really don't know. If you are a fanatic, which is your call, then a device known to produce and output a digital signal into one of the available digital formats might be more up your alley. That device is gonna be pricey. All I can say is that when I spin vinyl that I bought in college over forty years ago and pipe it to my power amp and my big vandersteins, If I close my eyes I can't be sure if it's live or memorex!!!

Yes, I am sure it would do a good job of cleaning high quality white vinyl. Of course you need to use a scrub brush to get the texture clean, but this does a very good job of loosening the dirt and carrying it away with your drying towel.

I run a small business & do a lot of sewing. I have use this machine on just about every type of fabric. If you have the correct needles & thread, you can do just about anything with it. they also take a good amount of abuse as well. I can honestly say that it probably was not designed for 1/3 of the things I've done with it..lol but it always comes through with flying colors for me.

It's easy to clean. I think you'd need a more heavy-duty machine for grinding bones and nuts. This unit has some trouble getting through cartilage or sinewy cuts.

I am using it on laminate floors and finding the same problems as the negative reviews. It leaves a film, it's terrible for the price. I wonder about the people with rave reviews, did they have a different hard floor type?

I own a vinyl pool but have never used the vacuum. Sorry I couldn't help. My pool just never gets that dirty.

It works on vinyl floors but I'm trying to get 3 bad steam mops with various problems repaired. Don't buy it.!!!!!

It's a good machine for both abs, chest and some home workouts. However, ou have to be consistent and it can sometimes be uncomfortable. For the price I would definitely recommend it. However, unless you buy a new one or go to Craigslist / Ebay you will not find parts anywhere.

While this question and answer are quite old, i feel it necessary to make one thing clear for those new to cleaning records. When cleaning a normal CD you wipe from the center out. This is NOT HOW TO CLEAN A RECORD.A Vinyl Record you clean with the grooves.

I use it to print on heavy stock two sided. Works great. I have used it to print on heavy photo stock, works great. I never tried vinyl, but that rear paper tray makes a straight path through the jets with only a slight bend, so I don't see why it wouldn't work. It's not a fast printing machine, but it's efficient and the Bluetooth feature and price makes it worthwhile to me.

Cleans 12", 10" and 7". I've cleaned hundreds of all size records and it does a good job.
