Fun:
I am a college student in IT that fixes computers, and, a lot of the time, a client will want me to reinstall a program from a nearly-mutilated disk. I needed something not only inexpensive -initially-, but with inexpensive upkeep and supplies. After a great deal of research, I stumbled upon the JFJ Easy Pro (I had been leaning toward a discgotech).
When I first bought the product and was waiting impatiently for its arrival, I read some more reviews on the JFJ machine. Apparently, there are two versions of the machine: one with a glass-like plastic top, and one with a lighter plastic. I called the company and asked them several questions:
1.) If I get the product with the top made of "lighter" plastic, can I get the new lid?
-- yes, but you have to send it off and spend about 50 dollars for the piece and labor.
2.) I have heard that, after thousands of repairs, the plastic cap that holds the disc while it spins will eventually strip on the metal screw...
-- no problem. The company will usually just send you one free of charge if that's all you need
Basically, whatever future parts you need, you can get a repair kit inexpensively...even after the warranty ends. That's something very important to me.
When you get it out of the box (mine was the new model with the better lid. I bought before Xmas 2008), you can tell it's a well-made product. This thing is built like a bomb shelter, no joke. And, unlike a previous poster suggested, there is no learning curve. The idea is to choose the least-drastic method for the disc at hand. For example, if it's a minor scratch, don't use the sand paper.
If you do use the coarse sand paper, you follow it with the fine, then the white and blue solutions in that order. You simply work your way down the grit level. It also includes a glossy instruction booklet. Better yet, there are vids on youtube (I'll also be posting). If you can work a microwave, you can work this machine. If you can screw this up, you shouldn't be allowed to leave your house without your helmet. That's really all I can say.
The only con is that it won't make hot cocoa for me when I come home from class, I guess. This really was a solid investment, and I hope you find my review insightful.

Fun:
I had been bringing my scratched CDs into a local shop to have them repair them for over a year. The owner was charging $1 a CD. He happens to have the same machine. At times I would get the CDs back and some would work great and some wouldn't. I hesitatingly bought my own to save the time and money of bringing each CD down to him to have them repaired. Boy, am I glad I did. I love this machine. It doesn't repair Gamecube or mini CD/DVDs, but it repairs all of my full size CD/DVDs. I've had some pretty deep scratches left over from the ex-girlfriends not putting the discs back into the cases. I've been repairing them to save me from buying them again. Sometimes it takes multiple times running it through to sand it down on the deep scratches, but they always come out working correctly. One disc I had to run through for 3 to 4 minutes of sanding just to remove the scratch, but it works great now. My daughter wanted to watch a movie last night that had been scratched and I hadn't repaired prior to last night. She was crying the entire time I was fixing it, but once it was put into the DVD player and worked great, she was as happy as can be!
The only thing that I would complain about the kit would be the fact that it should come with bigger bottles of the solutions. I find that I only use the #2 solution most of the time and will sometimes use the #1 solution if I want the disc to look brand new. I don't use the wipe pads or the spray solution because hot water and a micro-cloth has worked great up until now. I would highly recommend this item and would NOT bother buying most of the cheaper machines online.
One more thing, when repairing discs, try to have a few on-hand that need to be repaired, because you'll end up saving on the per-disc cost due to the price of the solutions.

I have owned and used THREE JFJ EASY PRO MACHINES. I still do alot of Disc Cleaning and Resurfacing on a daily basis.
I recommend the machine based solely on Cost. There are many superior Disc Repair Machines...however they cost at least 4 times more than this machine. This is a barebones budget solution... that can work if used properly.
The Easy Pro is NOT a high-end precision machine. It is a simple idea that can work. The Easy Pro is basically a Motor... that spins a scratched Disc around... so that a Pad can buff it smooth. After trial and error the machine will deliver the desired results 4 out of 5 times. The results will vary depending on your particular machine and the quality of the maqnufacturer's Disc. Surprisngly, the Disc damage is not always the main determining factor! Some Discs, regardless of the playing surface, t will never look or play properly.
I have spoken to the Manufacturer several times. The Claims that the Machine can clean 100 Discs with a single White Solution Pad is a flat out lie. The White Buffing Solution will wear out an average Disc in about 20-40 Uses with 2 minute cycles. The Blue Pad will last approximately 50-60 Uses. It seems that each machine varies somewhat. They are NOT quiet. They make a rumbling noise that randomly change in pitch and frequency. The Polishing Solutions are expensive and so are the pads. You will end up spending alot more than 20 cents per Disc.
There have been serious quailty control issues with the Easy Pro. In 2009, some machines had defective motors. One machine that I used had smoke spewing from it. When you use your machine you will hear and notice changes in revolutions as it cycles. I do not think that is how the machine is ideally supposed to run...but they all sound that way. My most recent machine lost the entire light panel after only 2 months! I believe it shorted out. Hwoever, it still does what it is supposed to do.
PLEASE BE AWARE: There is always the possibility that the JFJ Easy Pro will cause your Disc to Crack along the Ring. Usually it will not extend into the playing surface. This seems to be a random occurence that is likely due to the individual disc construction. If there is a inherent weakness in the Disc...it will be amplified and Crack due to the stress. I would estimate that you can expect this to happen in about 1 in 30-40 Discs. In one period, I had two instances of cracking after doing only 20 Discs. Unfortunately, it is not related to the tightness of the screw. In fact, sometimes the Disc will loosen from the screw!
I do recommend the JFJ Easy Pro MAchinne with reservations: At this time this is the ONLY Machine on the Market.... in it's price range.... that can repair a damaged CD or DVD Disc. It is certainly worth the $125-150 price tag. Do not expect perfect results. Sometimes.... no matter how hard you work on a Disc... you will be unable to get the perfect mirror surface. It will cost more to operate the machine then stated and you may break a few Discs.
I would ceratinly spend another $100 to $200 for a better Machine. Unfortunately, at this time, in the $125-350 dollar price range JFJ Easy Pro is your only option.
