For the money you need to spend on the unit and the additional repair disks you'll need to accomplish anything, you could just repurchase the original DVDs. Don't waste your money on this machine. It is a gimmick.
PC Magazine gave Aleratec an Editors' Choice award [Posted on 2008-01-28]
After reviewing several disc repair kits, PC Magazine gave Aleratec an Editors' Choice award:
Alera DVD/CD Disc Repair Plus
REVIEW DATE: 07.13.05
The Alera system is a bit more complex than the others we looked at, but it produced stellar results; it earns our Editors' Choice award. You get a motorized repair unit the size of a portable CD player and various wheels you install inside the unit to buff, clean, or repair discs. Also included are two liquid solutions, a buffing cloth, and a power cord. We followed the helpful user guide and ran a few passes; Alera was the only kit that successfully repaired a CD with deep scratches.

Personal comments:
Great review, but there are several 1 star reviews here which say that if this disk cleaner doesn't work, Amazon won't refund your money, and Aleratec won't refund your money either.
So if PC Magazine's Editors' Choice for Disc Repair is worthless, what does that say about all Disc Repair kits?
Works great [Posted on 2008-04-01]
My Call of Duty 4 game on the xbox 360 was scratched to hell, and no sounds played at all. Went through the repair process and it works fine now. Only gave the product 4 stars because of the confusing instructions. The bottom of the disc still looks scratched, but since it plays now, no harm, no foul.
It Sucks [Posted on 2008-06-25]
Its neat but it doesnt really get the scratches out. I suggest d-skin or something.
This caused semi-circular scratches on DVDs [Posted on 2008-07-02]
I have a number of dirty CD's from kids.
I put in a fingerprint marked up disc and the Aleratec cleaned it up.
However, I noticed that there were a lot of fine semi-circular SCRATCHES that looked like they were caused by the cleaning wheels!
I'm not sure if they will interfere with operations, but it seems like adding scratches as you clean isn't a very sustainable way of cleaning a CD.
I wish I could return it, but I've had it too long now.
CAVEAT:
I haven't tried it on a scratch to repair yet.
I don't think I'll use it to clean any dirty, but non-scratched discs.
