By way of illustration.

I imagine you could use any fluid you want in the ultrasonic. I use it for rinse, not solvent, you would have to fill it with solvent to make it useful that way but it appears to me to be unnecessary. It seems to accomplish everything it is going to accomplish as a rinse bath only. The records go in slightly "hydrophilic" and come slightly "hydrophobic" on the surface. Using tap water, I can drain and fill it with the tube attached very quickly.

I am not familiar with the broad range of ultrasonic cleaners, this one appears to be a quality item and it hurts my finger when I put into the water when it is on.

because the tub needs to be large enough( this one is 9 by 11 and 13 inches corner to corner) this one will not accomodate a spindle. If you are more careful than me, you can probably minimize label wetting. The record is hand spun twice in the solution while the ultrasonic is going. I imagine there might be models that have a 13 inch dimension that could accomodate a spindle but I don't know which ones.

This one was a clearance on ebay for $20, but yes, they can cost up to hundreds of dollars.
