I live in the high desert of Nevada, and it is very dry here, so it makes LPs very staticky. This works like a charm. There are almost no clicks or pops. It feels like a kid's toy raygun, but if you use it like the YouTube videos show, it works just fine. I highly recommend it.

The gun seems to be working well, minimizing the static but when I applied pressure to squeeze the trigger I’m having the feeling that the gun will break up any moment !Hope last longer than a month.

I would give this 0 stars if I could. It’s ludicrously difficult to use. You have to use some magical touch to push the trigger before it clicks. Success rate is about 20%, so good luck trying to de-static an entire collection without losing your mind.

When I first got this, I tried the "Toilet Paper" test like I see many reviewers do. And it work as advertised. It seems to cut down on my record noise and feel it is helping. With no instructions for proper use or the over $100 USD I payed for it, makes it a 4.

I was dubious about this product. But I kept seeing people talk about this product and how fantastic it is at removing static from a record's surface. When you think about it, it makes sense too. You are dragging a diamond through a PVC groove. Think of it like a static buildup and discharge when you touch someone. You get that audible *SNAP* as the electricity arcs from one subject to another.Now think about that on the surface of a record. A record that has a lot of static charge to it is going to transfer that charge into the needle. It's also going to make a sound. Then that sound is sent through a preamp, then an amplifier and then played through speakers. You are going to hear that, no doubt about it.So using this gun on a record prior to playing is going to remove that static. Then the only thing you need to worry about when it comes to snap crackle pops is dust in the groove, and that can be brushed out.An anti-static gun is even going to help you clean your records. The static is strong enough to not only attract dust into the grooves but the static will HOLD it there.So take the record out, shoot both sides of it a few times and then place it on the platter and give it a once-over with a brush and you're golden.Is it expensive? Yes it is. But it's the most important tool you'll have in your record cleaning arsenal, for the price.

I have known Zerostat since about 50 years or so. A friend of mine had it during the 70's and I remember that he was very satisfied. I did not use it at that time. And then, the vinyl disappeared from our lives, I sold my equipment and forgot about Zerostat.A month ago, I decided to come back to the analog recordings. What a deception when I discovered that so called antistatic fiber carbon brushes do not remove the dust from the records because it is attracted by static electricity. So I started searching for antistatic devices and found that Zerostat still existed and did not hesitate to buy it. It works just perfectly.The procedure is not complicated. Slowly press the trigger for about 3 to 5 sec, from a distance of about 30 cm and direct towards the "upper" side of the record (1). Then slowly release the trigger for another 3 to 5 sec. Repeat the same on the left (2) and right (2) sides and finish with the same process towards the center (4) of the LP.These are well spent 12 to 20 sec of your time in order to have crackle free listening.Then use your brush to remove the dust from the static free surface. Nothing is simpler than that.Zerostat really works and I am not surprised. The joy of listening your favorite music without crackling is worth every penny you spend on it.

I always wanted to get one of these. Finally broke down and got one! The cost was always my problem. When you are a teenager its like for about $100 do I buy more records? Or an expensive antistatic gun? My choice was always buy more music! So I kinda learned to live without it! I remember I had a cleaning record brush that would hold some fluid that dampened the brush from the inside so it would reduce static when sweeping off your records but sometimes you just needed something powerful like this Zerostat gun. But let me say it's worth every penny and I wish I had invested in one years ago! I recently got a new record that was so static charged that it wouldn't easily come out of the paper sleeve! It was horrible. But I used this gun with the record still in the sleeve first to loosen up some static and then once out of the sleeve I used it on both sides of the record twice and there is no static at all! What a difference! Wish I saved up my money for one of these when I was a kid. It's definitely worth having! The key is to very slowly squeeze the trigger handle in and then out again. I do both sides twice and it gets rid of all the static! I'm impressed on how well it worked! Very happy 😊 Buy one now! Don't wait till your 45 years old like I did! Lol 😂

Given the chequered history of some early runs of this device, (one whose predecessor I originally bought last millennium) I've deliberately waited until mine had been in regular service for three months before granting it the above headline and that five star rating.I believe you'll find that a reading of my other reviews will confirm that my top "five star" rating is reserved EXCLUSIVELY for products that I sincerely feel1) Represent value for money,2) Wholly fulfil their intended purpose ...and...3) Satisfy their target market......with NO reservations whatsoever.While it's certainly true to say that this is NOT a cheap item, I know of no other that performs this intended role as well as it does ...and I firmly believe that the key to its relative expense lies in item (3) above, ...the small size of that highly specialised target market.Sure, there's a whole galaxy of plastic-housed mass-produced items of far greater complexity out there ...and many of them do retail for far less......BUT......any one of those others can be guaranteed to sell in the millions, if not billions, whereas how many of us indeed exist who use items that can only have their successful operation restored by "squirting" a water-pistol like device at them to remove their destructive static build-up?Worldwide?Maybe some thousands. Possibly even tens of thousands.Not millions ...and CERTAINLY not billions.Although its operation is brilliantly intuitive, it's also true to say that the supplied instructions are a bit on the "sketchy" side, but for me, that's not enough to darken my fifth star.To my mind, just about their only key omission is any mention of aligning the "viewing hole" of the supplied "testing plug" so that the glow of its neon can actually be seen to confirm that the gun's "piezo-snapping" trigger mechanism is indeed delivering the static-zapping stream of ions required.For three full months now it has been, to the point where I feel it may be many years before I'll check again, ...probably only after (and if) I may feel that the response from one of my "targets" doesn't fully correspond with the superb performance that my new Milty ZeroStat gun has delivered so far.
