Okki Nokki One Record Cleaning Machine at Vinyl Sound Buffalo NY USA

The Okki Nokki One is a vacuum-based record cleaning machine from Okki Nokki (Netherlands), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY USA. Engineered from the ground up as a successor to the revered MK II, the One is the first RCM to feature a molded ABS unibody chassis with fewer moving parts and an integrated waste fluid reservoir with level indicator. Its configurable all-in-one vacuum arm cleans 12", 10", and 7" records without any arm swapping, while bi-directional platter rotation and a genuine goat hair brush deliver deep groove scrubbing. Distributed in North America exclusively by VANA Ltd., the Okki Nokki One resets the standard for what a vacuum record cleaning machine can be.

Unibody Design and High-End Vacuum Engineering

Okki Nokki moved all manufacturing back to its headquarters in the Netherlands for the One, and the results speak in engineering terms. The molded ABS unibody eliminates the seams and joints where older multi-piece RCM chassis tend to flex and leak over time. The newly developed air and fluid suction path draws directly on high-end vacuum technology principles, producing a quieter motor note and a leak-free clean every session. A single control button governs all operation, removing the complexity of multi-dial interfaces found on competitors such as the Pro-Ject VC-S3 or the Nitty Gritty 1.5Fi, and the built-in waste fluid reservoir with its level indicator means you always know when to drain, without lifting the lid mid-session.

Bi-Directional Platter and Universal Vacuum Arm

The full-size 12-inch platter rotates in both directions, allowing the goat hair bristles to work fluid into grooves from opposing angles and lift contamination that single-direction machines leave behind. A separate label-size platter is also included, and the stainless steel record clamp doubles as a label cover to protect the center label during wet cleaning while also functioning as a 7" single adapter. The all-in-one vacuum arm adjusts to accommodate 12", 10", and 7" records with no arm changes required. Overheat protection with automatic power shut-off adds a safety layer that keeps the motor running cleanly session after session.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Okki Nokki One record cleaning machine?

The Okki Nokki One is a vacuum record cleaning machine designed and manufactured in the Netherlands, featuring a molded ABS unibody chassis, bi-directional 12" platter, and a configurable all-in-one vacuum arm for 12", 10", and 7" records. It is the successor to the Okki Nokki MK II and is the first RCM to integrate the waste fluid reservoir directly into the body. It is available in Buffalo, NY USA at Vinyl Sound.

How does the Okki Nokki One compare to the Pro-Ject VC-S3?

The Okki Nokki One and the Pro-Ject VC-S3 are both serious vacuum RCMs, but they differ in approach. The One's ABS unibody is a single-mold construction with no chassis seams, whereas the VC-S3 uses a more traditional multi-piece assembly. The One's all-in-one vacuum arm handles 12", 10", and 7" records without swapping arms, while the VC-S3 requires separate arm configurations. The One also integrates a waste reservoir with a level indicator directly into the chassis, avoiding the need for an external drain.

Does the Okki Nokki One come with everything I need to start cleaning records?

Yes. The Okki Nokki One ships as a complete kit: the machine itself, a universal vacuum arm, a stainless steel record clamp with label cover and 7" adapter, a label-size platter, a genuine goat hair brush, one liter of cleaning fluid concentrate, and a dust cover. No additional purchases are necessary to begin cleaning records immediately.

What does bi-directional platter rotation do for record cleaning?

Bi-directional rotation means the platter spins both forward and in reverse during a cleaning cycle. This alternating motion works the goat hair bristles and cleaning fluid into the record grooves from opposing angles, dislodging contamination that a single-direction platter may push further into the groove rather than lift out. The result is a more thorough clean with the same volume of fluid.

Can the Okki Nokki One clean 7" singles and 10" records without changing the arm?

Yes. The all-in-one universal vacuum arm on the Okki Nokki One is configurable to clean 12", 10", and 7" records without removing or swapping any arm components. The stainless steel record clamp also doubles as a 7" single adapter for secure label-protected clamping of 45 rpm singles.

What is the ABS unibody chassis and why does it matter?

The ABS unibody is a single-mold body construction that eliminates the joints and seams present in traditional multi-piece RCM chassis. Seams are the most common leak points in older record cleaning machines, and they can introduce vibration noise as the chassis flexes under motor load. A unibody structure distributes stress evenly, makes the vacuum path fully sealed from the start, and reduces the number of components that can fail or wear over time.
