Do not waste your money! July 9, 2008
I only give this one star because there is nothing lower. This did nothing but put a dent in my wallet. Does not work AT ALL!

The good, the bad, and the inevitable May 12, 2008
First, why have a personal DVD repair system? For me it was when we're watching a movie and it starts pausing and skipping, and I have a better alternative than to just give up trying to watch it after cleaning it with windex doesn't work. If the Optifix doesn't work, at least I had a better way to try to get the movie going again.

I believe their is no such thing as a perfect DVD repair system. However, some DVDs are borderline dirty/scratched that a good cleaning and a turn through the "fixing" mode should bring SOME of those DVDs back from the brink.

With that in mind, Optifix works, though not perfectly. I have three young children that can be rough on DVDs (especially the children DVDs). Using Optifix to first clean, then attempt a repair, and then clean again, I have about a 60% success rate of returning DVDs to playable status. That's the good news, and by itself should rate a four star review.

The reason that its three stars is that the pads need replaced frequently. They get worn out fast, especially when unused for days or weeks, and can start to scratch the DVDs themselves if not replaced often. Twenty uses is about the maximum. So if I "save" 12 out of twenty disks, it probably saves me $120 - 240 in having to buy a new disk to replace the old one. Heck, even "saving" one or two disks per kit that you like well enough to rebuy is worth the $8.00 or so for that kit.

My only response to the "it scratched my DVD even more" one-stars is this: First, the disk wasn't working already if you were trying to repair it. Second, replace the pads more often, especially if you haven't used the device in a while.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!! April 26, 2008

I was forced to put a one star rating, in actuality, there shouldn't be any!!!
For those of you new to these types of products, you might be very curious about using this cheap product. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
It simply doesn't work. I know I've done better by using a good toothpaste and your thumb (check out youtube). Its just my hands got tired and I wanted something a little more mechanical.
This product does not work, just walk by it at the store and don't even look at it. I bought mine yesterday, its going back to Wally's today.

Just buy a new CD! April 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've tried this on at least 20 CD/DVDs just to see if it actually repaired them. It doesn't. In fact, it added scratches to a perfectly good blank CD that I used as an experiment.

If you have a damaged disc, buy another disc. Don't waste your money on this "repair kit."

Don't buy it. Seriously. February 17, 2008

After a long time of looking for a CD cleaner for my computer games, I bought this one because of the price- before looking at the Amazon reviews. Big mistake. I must agree with the many others who gave this product one star: it doesn't work, and it even made my discs a little worse.

I started with a game CD that had minor scratches on the surface that prevented it from running in my new laptop's CD drive. I put it through the repair cycle once and followed it with a cleaning cycle, as per the instructions. When it was done, I tried it in my computer. No dice. I ran it through two more clean and repair cycles. The disc still didn't work.

I did, however, notice some rubber track marks left on the top of the CD from where the device's wheels hit the disc. Also, on the bottom of the CD was a mysterious dirt spot that had definitely come from within the machine.

I put another disc through the clean cycle, and this time found a bigger brown spot on the CD's bottom, which left scratches. Yay. Thanks, Memorex. I've gotten better cleaning results using just soap, water, and a soft buffing cloth.

The instructions recommend that you replace the replace the cleaning pads after 20-25 uses and the repair pads after 15-20. If you use three cycles for each disc repair, you would only be able to clean five CDs before you need to order replacements! This thing would be a bad value even if it worked.

Basically, the OptiFix Pro is nothing but a twenty-dollar disc damaging device. Avoid this one. I'm returning mine.
