Summary: Find another way !
Review: Can only rate this as one star...
This unit leaves small semi circle scrathes on my dvd's and cd's.
I am trying to experiment with it cause there is not much out there. But looks like it will go back to where it came from.
I have owned a discwasher cdstealth cleaner for years. Nobody sells replacement pads for it, otherwise I would still be using it... Even though it was a pain to operate.
The Memorex unit would be the ultimate system. However there is no sense speaking of its ease of use if it damages your collection. SHAME on Memorex.

Summary: THE SCRATCH MAKER
Review: I must agree with the other shopper who found this unit damaging his discs. In cleaning mode, the Optifix Pro leaves a hazy film on the disc, with radial swirl patterns, that I have not been able to remove. An effective cleaner should leave a disc shiny and bright, free of haze. According to Memorex, this haze is caused by the pads and solution and can be wiped off -- but I wasn't able to wipe it off. I would have to call this product UNACCEPTABLE, and I am returning it for a refund. I guess I'll have to pick up one of the Maxell cleaners; they're poorly made of cheap plastic, but at least they clean a disc effectively and feature reusable pads...

Summary: Fixing the hazy film
Review: I work at a Library that uses this cleaner and we discovered that the film left on the disc was caused by the cleaning solution not the cleaner itself. You can remove the film from the disc if you wipe it with rubbing alcohol. You do need to apply a bit of pressure when wiping. We have begun to clean our discs by spraying them first with rubbing alcohol and not using the solution that was included with the cleaner. I hope this helps.

Summary: Works BUT...
Review: I've used this extensively to clean and fix library discs in horrible shape. It works fine IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. Always use the cleaner with the abrasive. On really soiled discs, do a cleaning cycle first (otherwise you'll drag grit on the surface). Clean the pads about every five uses. I use Simple Green and running water (dry 'em too) -- you'll get better results, and the pads will last a lot longer. I haven't noticed the film problem. Maybe they fixed that. Also (just a guess), it's possible that Memorex has quality control problems with the pad's spring tension, causing the swirling scratches mentioned by some reviewers. I have not had this problem except when I experimented with harsher abrasives.

Summary: It's good
Review: It has saved 4 cd's so far in the repair mode. Did a beautiful job cleaning. So far the only down side is getting replacement supplies repair or cleaning (such as repair goo or pads). I personnaly am very pleased.

Summary: Ineffective repair
Review: The manual CD repair products do a far better job than this one. In fact, I couldn't see that it did anything at all. It does a fair job with mere cleaning, but who needs to spend this kind of money to clean discs when you can clean them for free with water and a soft cloth?

Summary: THE SCRATCH MAKER
Review: This device is supposed to repair CDs and DVDs, but what it does is the opposite. In repair mode the unit did nothing to repair the scratches which caused skipping on one of my DVDs. In cleaning mode the unit ruined two of my DVDs: the discs developed numerous scratches from the abrasive action of the rotating cleaning pads and were covered by a greasy film caused by the cleaning solution. The circular scratches could not be removed. I was able to remove some of the sticky grease by using dishwashing liquid, warm water, a soft cloth, and plenty of elbow grease, but what developed thereafter were permanent white spots all over the disc. In the end, I was left with two damaged discs and a lot of wasted time. I returned the item for a refund, but what I spent to replace the discs cost me more, far more. THIS PRODUCT MUST BE RECALLED IMMEDAITELY.
