John0001 Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 At that price it seems worthwhile to take a punt and see how it goes... Pity it will only ship after July next year, and that's if the manufacturing goes smoothly.. could be a significant wait.
Candyflip Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I'm gonna wait and see - for over AUS$500 delivered, I can do without another potential boat anchor in my garage. Late adopting has not failed me recently. The latest Nuraphones debacle springs to mind as an example...

Candyflip Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Got a reply this morning on Warranty. Fairly useless to Aussies, but at least they have one and are thinking 'quality'. "Happywell says: Dear Jon, Sorry for the late reply. YES, HumminGuru will offer after-sales supports for all Kickstarter backers with 1-year warranty for repairing and servicing if the cleaner is defective. Our after-sale service center will be located in Hong Kong. Customers will notify us via email and our customer support team will be engaged in the process. The internal components we will be using for the HumminGuru cleaner are industrial graded that will ensure the durability and reliability. We aim for making good quality products that our customers can trust. Thank you - please Support us! HumminGuru Team"

awayward Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Received an email of the latest updates to the original design, nice to see a company listening to its customers to improve the product, I'm impressed. Dear Backers, Our team is very excited to show you the upgraded product design of HumminGuru All-in-One Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaner! Throughout this campaign, we have been listening to all different feedback and considerate perspectives from you all. Your contributions are precious that enable us to improve and do the valuable work of finding solutions to implement and develop an even better product. Here is the list of the upgraded features that we have implemented: 1. Air Filter to prevent dust from blowing onto the record An air filter is added next to the air intake area to prevent external dust from blowing onto the record during the drying process. The air filter will be washable and easy to change. 2. A lid for the Water Tank to prevent water from spilling A cover lid for the water tank is added to prevent water from spilling under any circumstances. Just in case that there is a small spill, an EVA cushion is added inside the water tank slot for extra protection. 3. Water Filter: offering users an option to reuse the water For users who would like to reuse the water, we have implemented a water filter in the water tank. When pouring the water back into the tank, dirty water will be filtered out. More importantly, the filter is washable. For users who do not need to water filtering function, simply take the filter slot out of the water tank. 4. Summer / Winter Mode Switch This new model is added and designed to offer users an option to dry the record in 5 minutes (summer mode) or 10 minutes (winter mode). When users switch between the summer and the winter mode, the drying functions including drying-only mode and auto-mode will automatically change to the time setting (5 minutes/10 minutes) that users have chosen. 5. Replaceable Rotation Wheel Due to the fact that the rubber on the rotation wheel would wear out through overuse, the rotation wheel is redesigned to be replaceable. Users can purchase new wheels for replacement that is easy to change. 6. Tool for Water Level Checking A user-friendly designed tool will be included in the package to help users checking the water level in the water basin based on different vinyl record sizes that users plan to clean & dry. 7. Icons & Lightings Interface Upgrade The icons and lightings of the interface are improved in ways that are easier to comprehend and distinguish. 2 1
John0001 Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Keeps getting better, lots of improvements based on feedback. Lets hope they get it out by July...
Butcho Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 I committed. I've had the Knosti spin cleaner, bath style . Currently using the Record Doctor V , vacuum cleaner. At this price point it's worth the gamble. 1
Stabbybobby Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 Any updates directly from them? Are they still on track with September and did all those mods make the final design?
Jakeyb77_Redux Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 Keen to hear more about these too before I spring for a degritter

Stabbybobby Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Nice Candy thanks for the update Keep us posted 1

Hydrology Posted October 6, 2021 Author Posted October 6, 2021 I received shipping notification today (Fedex) that my unit is on the way. I should note that I was pre-selected as an early recipient for general feedback (as well as performance feedback compared to the other cleaning machines I use - for those who dont know I offer a professional cleaning service). Pictures and a review coming soon (unit is due for delivery next week). 9
OLLY Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Looking forward to your review as I'm keen on getting one when they hit the market

Tomorrow I'll try another video of the record that visually looks NM- but sounding VG or VG-. 5
Hydrology Posted October 19, 2021 Author Posted October 19, 2021 Unit has arrived - will put it through its paces over the next few days and report back. 10
