A record cleaned with a dry brush still retains everything the bristles cannot reach at the bottom of the groove: compacted dust, greasy film, pressing residues. A record cleaning machine wets the groove, scrubs it, then vacuums up the dirt-laden liquid. It is this suction that sets it apart from washing by hand. Okki Nokki designs and manufactures this type of equipment in the Netherlands, and the One, now available in the DV version, is its current model.
A completely redesigned machine
The One has been redesigned from the ground up compared with previous Okki Nokki models. The waste fluid tank is built into the housing, and its level can be checked at a glance from the side. It runs on 230 V mains power and should preferably be connected to an earthed socket in a dry, well-ventilated room.
Powerful, quiet suction
The One’s suction system combines power with quiet operation. Its suction is so strong that one or two platter revolutions are enough to dry one side, and the arm’s velvet strips remain dry or almost dry. The vacuum motor incorporates a temperature sensor: if it gets too hot, it shuts itself off, at which point the machine must be switched off and left for at least 30 minutes before resuming. With normal use, this safety feature will not be triggered.
A single control for the platter and suction
The entire One is operated using a rotary control and push button located at the front left on top. Turn the outer black ring to the right or left to select the platter’s direction of rotation; the centre position stops it. The stainless steel push button in the middle switches the suction on or off. The two directions of rotation are used during brushing: spread the liquid over three or four revolutions in one direction, then the same number in the other, so the brush works both sides of the groove. Then simply move the arm over the record and switch on the suction, in either direction: one or two revolutions dry the side. Switch off the suction before stopping the platter, then turn the record over.
Two platters and a clamp that protects the label
The One comes with two platters. The 30.5 cm platter is fitted as standard, while the second measures 17.8 cm. Both accommodate 25 and 30 cm records. The large platter supports the entire record, providing greater control and allowing a little pressure to be applied with the brush on a very dirty record. The small one is recommended for 45 rpm records. To change them, simply pull the platter upwards on both sides at once. The stainless steel clamp holds the record on the platter, and its label protector clips on and off as needed. An adapter accommodates 45 rpm records with a large centre hole. Keeping the label dry prevents the paper from warping or staining.
A single suction arm, from 45 rpm to 33 rpm
A single suction arm covers all three diameters: 17.8, 25.4 and 30.5 cm. There is therefore nothing to dismantle when switching from a maxi-single to a single. The arm slots into a bearing at the front right and has two positions: rest, slightly back towards the rear right, and working, over the record, pointing towards the spindle. Its suction slot is bordered by two velvet strips that form a seal against the vinyl. This is the part that requires the most attention. These strips must stay clean and not too wet: do not leave the arm resting on the record during brushing, and remove it from its bearing at the end of each session to let it dry flat on the platter. The strips can be cleaned with your fingertips or a soft toothbrush and should be replaced after around a hundred records, or sooner if necessary.
Tank, fluid and included accessories
The extracted liquid goes into an internal tank. Its level is visible in the drain hose, which is stored in a recess on the right-hand side. Empty the tank before the liquid reaches halfway up the hose: unplug the machine, remove the black rubber stopper and let the liquid drain into a bottle, without having to tilt the machine. The supplied fluid is a 50 ml bottle of concentrate, to be mixed with one litre of distilled or demineralised water, then stored in a cool, dark place. The small bottle is then used to dispense the liquid drop by drop onto the record, where it is spread with the supplied microfibre application brush. A transparent cover protects the One from dust between sessions.

Frequently asked questions
How many records can be cleaned with the supplied concentrate?
+
The 50 ml bottle makes one litre of liquid when mixed with distilled or demineralised water. Getting the right dose takes a little practice: it is better to start with a few drops and add more if necessary than to use too much, as the excess spills onto the machine and risks wetting the label.
How often should the waste liquid tank be emptied?
+
The level can be read in the drain tube on the right-hand side. The tank must be emptied before the liquid reaches halfway up the tube, which in practice means approximately every 40 records. The machine must be unplugged during draining, and the cap must be replaced before using it again. An overfilled tank can damage the machine.
Do the velvet strips on the suction arm wear out quickly?
+
They should be replaced after about a hundred records, or sooner if they are worn, dirty or damaged. To make them last, wipe them after each session and never leave the tonearm resting on the record while brushing.
Can you use a cleaning fluid other than Okki Nokki's?
+
Okki Nokki concentrated fluid is the most suitable. If you use another fluid, it must not foam or contain more than 25% alcohol. Alcohol-based fluids must not be used on 78 rpm records, shellac records or acetates, and must be used in a well-ventilated room, away from any flames.
Should you let the record dry before putting it away?
+
One or two vacuum rotations are enough to dry the side; there is no need to vacuum any longer. When cleaning a record for the first time, remember to replace its inner sleeve, which retains dust accumulated over the years. Very old or very dirty records benefit from being cleaned several times.

Some aspects of the device's construction may seem just a little "cheap", but it performs its tasks very well, with far fewer constraints than an ultrasonic machine. However, for very dirty records, the two can complement each other. What's more, this machine's value for money is unbeatable.

Certains aspects de la construction de l'appareil peuvent sembler un tout petit peu "cheap", cependant, elle s'acquitte très bien des tâches qui lui sont confiées, avec beaucoup moins de contraintes qu'une machine à ultrasons. Cependant, pour des disques très sales, les deux peuvent s'avérer complémentaires.
En outre, le rapport qualité/prix de cette machine est imbattable.
