Nitty Gritty 2.0

The 2.0 is a manual system, meaning you apply the fluid, brush the record, and rotate the platter by hand. While it requires more physical effort than an automatic machine, it delivers the same powerful vacuum suction performance for a significantly lower price.

Yes. The unit uses an injection-molded head with specialized velvet lips that create a tight seal against the record surface. This focuses the vacuum suction directly into the grooves, effectively pulling out fluid and debris.

The cabinet is durable and finished to handle the environment of a cleaning station, but you should avoid getting excessive fluid on the wood itself. Simply wipe away any stray droplets with a dry cloth after you finish cleaning your records.

The unit features a convenient drain plug located on the bottom of the cabinet. We recommend placing the machine near the edge of a sink or using a small container underneath the drain plug when it is time to empty the reservoir.

Yes, the VAC-SWEEP velvet lips are designed to be replaceable. Over time, they will accumulate debris and wear down, so swapping them out ensures you maintain that effective, scratch-free seal against your vinyl.

While the system comes with a 4 oz bottle of Nitty Gritty fluid, it is compatible with most standard record cleaning solutions. Just ensure the fluid you choose is specifically formulated for vinyl records to avoid damaging the finish or leaving residue.
