 Very good product! October 28, 2008

This brush is really very good for its price... it catches almost all the dust and helps improve the sound of your records. Very simple and effective! Highly recommended.
A very nice, well priced product August 15, 2008

I never thought I'd own an AQ product, but here I am with this nice little brush. For the record, there is no magical ground cable to reduce static (though readers aware of AQ's cables with batteries wouldn't be surprised), just a useful carbon fiber brush to get surface dust off my records. I find 4 or 5 spins prior to playing a side removes most popping very well. Can't go wrong for the price!
 A decent purchase February 8, 2008

This brush does more or less what it says it does. It's useful for lifting stray fibers and dust off of your records, but not much more. It is certainly not a product for cleaning dirty records. The instructions are extremely vague, and one should expect to have to figure this thing out on their own. Even still, it isn't that difficult to use. The brush is a decent purchase in the end due to the fact that there isn't much else out there that could do its job.

The version I picked came with a grounding wire, claiming that using the wire in conjunction with the brush would discharge all of the electrostatic-producing snap, crackles, and pops. If you believe that, continue to do so, and maybe you'll imagine less surface noise than was the case before employing the device. Speaking more pragmatically, I've found some use for the item only when loose, conspicuous debris has collected on the surface of a vinyl disc.
The best brush you can get for clean records August 10, 2007

This little gem is a great bargain. No brush is more effective, but you need to use it correctly.
Most importantly, if your record is dirty, do not contaminate your brush with it. You will harm both.
This brush is for new and washed records between plays.
First, hold the brush nearly perpendicular to the record surface, with a slightest of bends with the turn. Wipe the tips the long way GENTLY across a cloth. Do this with the record turning on the turntable and do not press. Twice around does the job. This pass removes any relatively large particles and cat hair.
Then, point the tips of one row AGAINST the direction of turn at a someshat acute angle, as if you were shaving off a thin slice. This does the deep groove cleaning of dust that records attract. Clean the brush as before. Notice how much is left on the cloth.
If you have dirty records, get a liquid cleaner, or at the least, purified water. But every record player needs one of these brushes. Highly recommended!
