I could not be more pleased with the results I have gotten on the four records that I’ve flattened. I’ve had very good results running at 130 degrees for 3.5 hrs with a 2 hr cool down.

I'm incredibly impressed! It works just as described. I have fixed over a dozen warped vinyls since getting the Record Pi. After following the recommendations with some success, I went with 129 degrees and shut off after 3 hours from turning it on. One more run after a full cool down has been my go to so far. Are they perfectly flat? Some yes, some no, but I'm not having playback issues now which was what I was looking for. Highly, highly recommend if you're looking for a solution to warped viny...

It’s a game changer for sure! An absolute necessity if you have large collections or if you’re coming up unlucky with a lot of the new vinyl from pressing plants with low quality control. I’ve already flattened about seven warped records and I’ve only had it for two weeks. The record in the clip had been in my late grandmother’s collection since the late 60s and had been given to me about 15 years ago, meaning for 40-50 years, it had sat in a dark hot basement! This was easily the most warped re...

WOW pretty much sums it up for me. I've already repaired 5 albums (most of them new pressings) with some minor edge warping. The album in the video was the worse album I had and it was completely flat after running it through 2 cooks. I highly recommend this for anyone that has or plans on starting a vinyl collection especially with how bad the new pressings are these days.

Received the record pi, shipped really fast. Once received it as very easy to use, I was baking my first record within 15 minutes. I baked my first record at 135 degrees for 2.5 hours, let it cool for 45 minutes. Worked like a charm! See beefier and after videos. I would recommend the record pi!

I love my Record Pi. We had a leak and water damage to a lot of albums that went undiscovered for sometime. Lost a lot of covers but I was able to clean the vinyl. There were a lot of records with significant warp. I have been able to restore almost all of them to playable with great sound. I am very pleased with the purchase. Saved my Q, R, S, and T albums that took the hit. Thanks!

I purchased a Badlands record from a seller in Canada. When I received it I cleaned it and was going to play it . But it had a very bad warp. After much research I decided to give the Pi a chance. I purchased it. Ran a test with no record. Then I tried the record. It took 6 hours at 125 degrees. It’s a process. Record turned out awesome. And sounds great. Thanks for an awesome product.

The record pi works fantastic, I have flattened a bunch of my records that range in warpage from minor to severe. The record pi has fixed every one. I Didn’t think it could be done! Great job you guys, great product.

I had an album that a friend called "pretzels warped". It was like it was twisted and the highest warp was around 1" off a flat surface. 2 bakes at 140° max and it was fixed. Once at 2.5 hours and 3.5 hours the 2nd time because when my timer went off I turned on my preset cooling time and went to remove it and it was strangely hot. I forgot to turn off the Record Pi! This thing has worked beyond expectations!

I'm very impressed with the record pi my first record I use was The Village People Macho Man album and it was warped pretty bad so put it to the test and the flattener did a great job flattening the record and it took 4 tries and the flat was perfect and it was playable and sounds good and this was the best money spent.

Setting the Record Pi up was much easier than I expected, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. So far, I’ve had great success. I’ve managed to fix five records that were warped due to heat and four others that arrived with dish warps straight from the manufacturer, all of which are now perfectly flat. One of the heat-warped records, a 12" 45RPM, was unplayable with the stylus constantly jumping, but after just two Record PI runs, it's completely flat. I’m extremely satisfied with this pur...

With the poor quality control of records nowadays ( not always but sometimes ) I always feel bad if a record end up in the shelf because of warps, we spend quite some money on records and it's a shame, I was done with bowled / dished records and had quite some of them! Last weekend I spend quite some time, and the results are amazing! This is only one records of multiple, all of them are amazing! difference is night and day, this specific record it's almost half a centimeter difference.

3 words. This thing works.
I am seriously impressed with the Record Pi. I received 15 LPs this Christmas from friends and family. More than half of them were warped in one way or another. This thing fixes edge warps and bowl warps like no one’s business. I highly recommend this product. I was off-put about the price at first, but I grabbed it on sale and it’s well worth it.

As most of us who have used this product probably know, a severely warped record will probably require several bake cycles to achieve a satisfactory result. I've figured out how to automate a continuous bake/cooldown cycle via the Smart Life app:
- Go to the "Scene" tab at the bottom of the app.
- Create a "Launch Tap-to-Run" scene as shown in pic with "3 hour bake" at the top.
- Create a "When device status changes" scene as shown in pic with "Auto bake @ 77 F" at the top.
- Set the precondi...

Buy it, do not hesitate!
It’s been almost a month that I have received the device and I have flattened more than 20 dish warped records with it successfully. Most of them required one bake, a few double and a couple triple.
The device is very easy to set up and use. The instructions are clear and easy to follow.
I would definitely recommend this for serious collectors as the instances of receiving warped records seem to be increasing. It is a reasonable investment to make specially at this ...

135F bake for 4 hours with an overnight cool down worked best for me. Record Pi has flattened 8 vinyl records with various degrees of warp. Record Pi exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended. Glad I made the purchase.

Works absolutely wonderfully. I have great luck with running it at 140 for about 4 hours. I’ll also run it with two records as this seems to give the best results. Obviously, you need to run your felt liners between them, don’t stack two records on top of each other. This has already paid itself off. Thanks Record Pi!

Excellent product. I have a a few records that are warped but one in particular that was expensive and kept sealed until a week ago when I discovered a nasty warp that rendered it unplayable. Four hours later in this device and I now have a fixed record. I am so happy and pleased.

Only 1 record down but happy to say this thing is great. Solid edge warp is now nonexistent. Took 3 bakes to find the sweat spot but the end result was killer - 130°F and baked for 2 hours once it was at temp. I’m down in AUS so ran it on a step down converter and it worked a treat. Get one, NOW.

I have a relatively pricey record that was badly warped during shipping. I decided to try the Record Pi to see if it would work. It took a few bakes, and this is the result. It totally plays through with minimal audible issues. I’ll admit, I was slightly skeptical. But, after reading the reviews, I figured it’s worth it. I’m glad I did! Can’t wait to flatten more!

I am really happy with my Record Pi. I have successfully flattened 30 or more records. I also want to thank record pi for the quick response to replace my temperature probe.

Tried Record PI based on positive reviews. Received my order a week ago and successfully flattened around a dozen 12" vinyls, but two black ones resisted flattening, though they're still playable. Appreciate the mobile phone monitoring and control feature. Plus, the automation with Amazon Alexa and Google app is handy. My only gripe is the excess cables that require organizing.

Remarkable piece of kit! My video shows a "before and after" of a lovely old Supraphon (Czech label) recording of Leoš Janáček's Cunning Little Vixen. The warping admittedly doesn't look as bad as some on here, yet it's enough to throw my stylus from the few introductory bars of orchestral music into the ethereal wordless chorus which follows. This was my first attempt with Record Pi, so I gave it the recommended two hours at the set temperature and left it to cool completely. The LP is clearly ...

Love the Record Pi, this is a fantastic product and works great. I've successfully flattened about 20 records now and haven't had any issues. Takes some trial and error to dial in time and temp (I generally do 3.5 hours at 132F for new vinyl now), but once you get rolling it's super easy to use.

I’m very happy with the record pi I don’t have any old vinyl that’s warped just enough new vinyl to make this purchase worth while so far I have fixed 3 new records that were warped in a way that the needle would go airborne not a good thing but I’m glad I kept them because now they are perfect 1 and 2 almost perfect this really works well and no problems highly recommend.

Just wanted to recommend a really helpful tool for all of us that spin vinyl. As a frequent purchaser of new and old vinyl we all have to deal with the occasional warped record.....some worse than others. I hate having to return it and wait for a replacement which might or might not be better. Awhile back I bought the vinyl flat to assist me in flattening those warped records. I have had great success with this particular tool so I made the decision to upgrade to a better version from record pi....

I decided to purchase this product because I buy a lot of new vinyls and they are often completely warped or have a warped edge. The system repairs absolutely all vinyls. I recommend it 100%. No need to run failed oven tests

The video is obviously the before. For some reason I can’t upload 2 videos. As others have said there is a bit of a learning curve. The record in the video was unplayable. Now you have to look hard to see any warp. Couldn’t be happier!!! I found that 135 at 2 hours works the best. The app makes it so easy. I have a Ratatat album that is cupped so that’s the next challenge. Thank you for making such a great product!

135 degrees for 3 hours, let it cool overnight if possible and they come out perfectly FLAT!
Use a folded towel underneath the RecordPi so it doesn’t have to heat the table too and it will get up to temp quickly and hold temp to within 1 degree.
Excellent device. Have flattened a dozen LPs so far, completely removing edge warp and more.

I used Record Pi to remove warps in 4 vinyl records. Two were in yellow vinyl, and two in black vinyl. I wish I had this 15 yrs ago to use on warped records I no longer have.

I have flattened a few records and am still trying to work on different type of warped vinyls. The RecordPi flattened big warped records to playable. It is very hard to get it perfect but reasonable flat. On its site they clearly stated that so no confusion from the very start and I like that! I’m still trying to vary the baking time and temperature to improve the results. The customer support is fantastic. In addition to the manual information, I got help from Jenn and Jenn was so kind to list ...

Works like a charm. Flattened 2 records so far. The first one for needed one "session", 2 hours at 125F and turned out perfect. The second one required 2 passes, the first 2 hours and second 2 hours and 15 minutes, the result was not perfect, but very good.

I have owned the Record Pi for about a month and a half now and flattened 21 records with it. After a small bit of a learning curve with temperatures and times I have achieved an 86% success rate. That being said, it is more like 100% because the 3 records that I wasn't able to save were so bad that I don't think there was any hope for them anyway. LOL
