Quarantined and Bored
I am very glad I purchased this record brush. I have been using an original Discwasher brush since the 1980’s, but was having issues with loud static popping with a new phono cartridge. I clean all of my new and used records on a cleaning machine and put them in poly sleeves before playing, so my records are not that dirty. Using my Zerostat gun to address the static pops is inconvenient, so I wanted to try a brush that dusted the record and drained static at the same time. After watching a great internet video on record brushes, I copied an experiment that tests static discharge by using a PVC pipe charged with a hand towel and dropped into a pile of packing peanuts. I compared my Discwasher to the Hudson Hifi brush and a Purest Audio CAS-B9 brush. The Discwasher did nothing to discharge static, while both carbon fiber brushes worked way better than expected to remove static just by touching the bristles to the PVC pipe. Unfortunately, the bristles on the Purest Audio brush felt and sounded too abrasive for me, so I returned it. The Hudson Hifi brush bristles are very soft and attached to the handle much more securely. Next, I compared cleaning ability between the two remaining brushes using a small handheld microscope and a record that I had rubbed on my sofa cushion before each test cleaning. I could not see any real difference between the Discwasher and Hudson Hifi brushes in their ability to remove dirt/dust. Neither brush left behind any bristles/fibers. The added time and work required to apply drops of liquid to the Discwasher, spreading the droplets across the brush and zapping the record with the Zerostat after cleaning resulted in no real difference when compared with the record cleaned with the Hudson Hifi brush in my opinion. For that reason, I have switched to the Hudson Hifi brush after so many years of using the Discwasher. Granted, I would still clean a record with fingerprints with the Discwasher because the fluid would be helpful if you don’t have a record cleaning machine, but the Hudson Hifi brush is my choice for my pre-play dust-off. At this price, it’s a no-brainer.

Hudson Hifi right accessories at the right price
The Hudson Hifi accessories work well. This brush when used with a record cleaning liquid gets the job done.

Works Great
I use this brush to take the lint and dust and debris off records before each and every play, place the record on the turntable and brush away for a few revolutions, and then a few revolutons the opposite way. I then slide it off so there's no residue, that's my method and you can actually see the lint coming off the record. I also use this on the pro ject cleaning unit before I wash the records, Either way its a must to use before playing any records. This one works well and you can clean the bristles by moving the handle back and forth and again see the lint and dust coming off. The only down side is sometimes the handle pops off a little too easy, but it works and gets the job done, and the bristles are soft and you don't have to worry about scratching the record no matter what your method is. Never realized how important this dry cleaning step is, but its vital, and this brush does the job very well

Works Flawlessly!
I can’t remember the last time I’ve bought a product that worked exactly as it was supposed to work. I’m writing this immediately after testing it out on a very dusty record. This inexpensive vinyl record brush excels at its job; it will make a darn near spotless record out of all of your dusty vinyls. You can make multiple passes to get a record mint clean (given that there isn’t any substantial dirt or debris deep in the grooves), but one or two quick passes was enough to make the album play without any unnecessary cracks or pops.Highly recommend! Get it - it’s cheap!

Easy to use
I run this over the vinyl before each play cycle. It removes dust well and helps reduce static from being in the cover. No problems with shipping.

Use it carefully
You have to swipe your records carefully, because the frame of the brush can scrape against the album. I like my old fashioned felt type cleaner, but you need to clean it regularly and finally wore out.

Everyday clean
This is a great brush for removing static and everyday dust. If you're looking for a more vigorous clean, I'd recommend using something else. I love the handle and how it folds to be very compact and keep the bristles dust free.
