The Loricraft has an advantage over the VPI in noise levels, however it's noise level is not completely quiet. They both do a very good job of cleaning records. On normal used or new records there isn't an appreciable difference to my hearing with records cleaned on a VPI 16.5, 17 or Loricraft. Perhaps on very very dirty records the Loricraft does a better job in one cleaning because of the concentrated way it suctions up the dirt/fluid. That doesn't mean that the VPI can't get a very very dirty record as clean. It just may take two cleanings on the VPI.If you are cleaning lots of records all the time a VPI 17 or Loricraft would each work well. For the normal cleaning of only a few records at a time the VPI 16.5 makes much more sense moneywise. For the price ($800 more than the 17, $1400 more than the 16.5) the Loricraft gives you a little better build quality, a little quieter operation and perhaps a quicker cleaning of very dirty records.
When I was thinking about buying a Loricraft I called Smart Devices and asked if they had a motor in stock to see how easy getting parts would be. They didn't and said it would have to come from England. The woman I talked to couldn't give me a timeline for getting it because of occasional problems with customs.. That problem may have changed for the better since then.
