you might already be aware of the intrinsic design problems with vacuum drying a record, but I will repeat it for those new to the vinyl asylum collective mind, since I learned it here.
vacuum works by the speed of the air movement. the design problem is to not accelerate the carrier fluid so quickly that it separates from the other heavier molecules that can't accelerate into the air steam as quickly , and are then left behind.
I would think a satisfied customer would instinctively think more vacuum is better, so a machine with only a very rapid air movement as a primary design goal would have many happy customers.
But that might contribute to the review stories one reads about less surface noise after a vacuum cleaned record is cleaned by an ultra sonic machine utilizing evaporative drying by a fan inside the unit.
