DVD Repair [Posted on 2008-05-30]
This was a waste of money in my opinion. It did not fix any of my scratched dvds. I do not recommend this product.
So-so results [Posted on 2008-06-05]
I found it to be mediocre. I have an HD-DVD that would lock up in a few spots. I tried the complete repair process three times and saw no significant improvement.
Mixed [Posted on 2008-08-06]
I purchase a lot of used dvds both online and at local stores, and if your like me you've bought your fare share of duds that get to a certain scene and then just stop playing. And if your like me and you purchase used dvds here online you have realized that most of the vendors require you to ship the defective dvd back to them for a refund, well with the cost of shipping and the hassle of making a trip to the post office it seems hardly worth the effort in most cases.
Over time I had built up a stack of non working dvds and decided to see if I couldn't get to finally watch those movies I only got to see half of.
Now this isn't the first dvd repair item I've ever bought, I've tried quite a few over the years. And with that in mind I've pretty much given up all hope of any product being able to successfully repair a dvd that wont play. In fact about half of the dvds in my stack you can see the swirl marks where someone has put them through the "repair" process in the past!
Of the 30 some dvds I used this product on it managed to get 4 to play. And trust me, I put them through multiple times yet even when they would finally come out of the machine looking like a shiny new dvd still nothing. Sometimes they would play a little further than they did before but ultimately they still wouldn't play through.
This is not so much a review against this product as it is a review of the concept of successfully repairing a dvd. I say just cut your losses and toss them out.
To more specifically review this product, it does do a top notch job in its cleaning mode, however the cleaning head requires you to fill a reservoir with "cleaning solution" (aka basic rubbing alcohol) but unless your cleaning dvd's in bulk, the alcohol evaporates away between uses and you'll have to refill it every time. I find a soft cloth and a few drops of alcohol far more sufficient.
Doesn't work and Amazon refuses returns of this item. [Posted on 2008-09-27]
This cleans discs nicely as long as you make sure the pads are completely dry between discs or it scratches them. It does not remove scratches or fix discs that skip even just a little. Amazon refuses to accept this back because "it contains flammable liquids" so I am now stuck with this piece of junk. The company just says "sometimes you have to go over the same disk upto 10 times before it fixes it" Still did not fix any of my discs that skipped.
