Broken upon arrival, but works

I bought this on Amazon for 23.00 after shipping. Thought it was worth a shot. First time I plugged it in and pushed "play" nothing happened, no light no nothing. I started to trouble shoot and found out the lid does not close far enough to trigger the safety mechanism to make sure it is closed before spinning. Finally I figured out to put a pair of small pliers on top and it runs just fine. Scratches are still visible after resurfacing, but games play fine.
Like usual, you get what you pay for...

this works pretty well , it cleans better than any manual one for sure , wish it would take out scratches better
it works well for the size it is and i love the fact that you can buy new heads when you wear the first ones out its easy to change them out and the cleaning \repair work is done in no time

User Unfriendly

This product is the most user unfriendly product I have ever seen. It just doesn't work right.
The box was opened when I received it, the directions were ambiguous, and the product itself flimsy. I would have returned it, but I had tried to use it and so it is now "used". I urge other customers to beware!

Not much of a supply (pads/solutions) for those who have many discs to clean. Otherwise, product perfectly provides what I required.

Repair Machine Works for Smaller Scratches

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2010

The "Xinix Disc Repair Pro Cleaning And Repair System" is a machine with a generic design which is sold under several brand names (and colors). They are all essentially identical and use the same repair discs and repair solution. I have 2. The name printed on mine is "Disc Rescuer" and it is dark silver. Another brand is Aleratec 240131 DVD/CD Disc Repair Plus Kit and it is dark blue, black, or brown.

The only repair discs I use are the yellow/green repair discs. I have never used the blue cleaning or red buffer discs. I manually spray lens cleaner and use "soft lens cloths" to first clean any DVD/CD discs I wish to repair. I then use the yellow/green repair discs with the repair solution on this machine. The repair cycle on the machine takes 4 minutes.

Despite what others state here, the machine DOES work. The machine DOES repair light scratches on both DVD's and CD's. Most of the older Netflix DVD's I have rented have numerous scratches on them. Because both Netflix and BlockBuster Online send their DVD's with virtually NO protection, after being sent many times in the mail their DVD's have a heavy haze on them. This haze is the result of crushing from other mail and movement through the USPS system. Friction between the DVD and the Tyvek sleeve creates this haze.

If your player cannot read the DVD, you have a choice of returning it and waiting 48 hours for a replacement (hoping it will work) or repairing it with this machine which takes a total of 7 minutes. This machine WILL remove the haze because it is not a heavy scratch. It will NOT remove heavy scratches, especially heavy scratches which turn with the disk or circumference. Even a short, 1/2 inch, heavy scratch of this type will render that part of the disc unreadable. The machine will also obviously not repair cracks which extend into the data area of the disk.

If you rent DVD's or like to purchase used CD's, this machine is indispensable. I highly recommend it. However, I do have one warning. While I do have 2 "Disc Rescuer" machines, only 1 works now. This generic design has a flaw: 1 of the plastic gears inside wears out after about a year. The machine will not last forever. While all the parts look fine and the motor still works, nothing else turns. The first toothed plastic gear which connects to the motor wears out. Several of the teeth were worn down and no connection is made. This gear should have been made out of metal. Then the machine would have lasted for years, if not forever.

I am sticking with this design for as long as they sell it because I have 18 of the yellow/green repair disks. I have long since run out of their repair solution. After some research, the best replacement I found is Mothers 06208 Plastic Polish - 8 oz . After about 8 uses, you must remove the 2 yellow/green repair disks and clean them with the included brush using hot water. Do not continue using your repair disks after 8 times because it makes the machine work harder and smears your DVD's/CD's. Because Mother's Plastic Polish is harder to clean off, add a small amount of liquid soap to your hot water and rinse with hot water.

Reasonable expectations

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2010

When buying a product like this, it's wise not to go into the transaction with great expectations. In my case, this was a risk free trial, having won this item at a games arcade thanks to my considerable skill at spending vast quantities of money to win wonderful prizes such as shot glasses and lop-sided teddy bears.

Howz it work?

1. The machine looks like a CD player (or possibly like one of those cheap rolodex thingies that are made to look like CD players)
2. It comes with one pair of blue topped discs, and a 30ml bottle of liquid for cleaning CDs, DVDs, Game discs and the like.
3. It also comes with one pair of beige topped discs and a 10ml tube of cream for repairing discs.
4. Choose which set of discs you need, press the button to open the lid of the machine, and then insert them in the holes. You'll need to turn each disc until it is securely anchored (rotate it counter-clockwise until it stops)
5. Note that the left side is labeled "Dry" and the right side is labeled "Wet" (It's a bit hard to see if you're not looking for it)
6. Apply the appropriate solution - 4 drops of cleaning liquid or 3 small dollops of repair cream - on to the disc on the "Wet" side
7. Place your disc data side down and close the cover.
8. Plug in the machine (110/120V) and press either the "Clean" button or the "Repair" button on the front of the machine.
9. It will automatically turn itself off when the process is finished. (You won't have any problem knowing when it's done - it makes an awful racket when it's working)

Pros:

1. Dirty and scratched CDs, DVDs, Game discs and the like can be given a new lease on life.
2. Cleaning only takes a minute, and repairing just four minutes.
3. Easy to operate

Cons:

1. Looks cheap
2. The cleaning and repair solutions are supplied in tiny quantities (30ml and 10ml respectively) which are used up in no time at all.
3. Replacement kits of discs and solution are comparatively expensive.
4. Noisy

However:

1. It really worked to repair an extremely scratched PS2 game disc that would no longer play in the system. In just over 4 minutes the game was back in the console and working like new. (Some of the scratches were still visible - apparently the solution forms a coating over scratches)
2. It cleaned dirt and fingerprints from an audio disc without any problems.

So, in summary:

This machine does what it claims to do, but will need replacement cleaning/repairing kits very quickly (sold separately). It appears fairly sturdy, but I can't see it giving years and years of faithful service.

Game discs in particular are very expensive, and having this machine on hand to keep them working can be a worthwhile investment, particularly if they are subject to the usual abuse by generation iY.
