Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Maxell DSR-I Pro Disc Fixer
Customer Review: Good for mild repair -- Updated: This item is complete JUNK
Summary: 2 Stars
What I like about this product:
1. it is a hands free CD/DVD buffing tool.
What I don't like about this product:
1. noisy
2. time consuming
3. a lot of ritual and procedure
4. doesn't repair scratches severe enough to cause playback problems
5. may become completely inoperative after about 30 or 40 disks.
The unit has two sides, one for buffing and one for cleaning. The procedure is complicated and time consuming and I can never remember how I'm supposed to use this thing without re-reading the instructions. I would give you the details, but I've misplaced the instructions. But I can summarize by telling you that the procedure involves running a three minute buffing cycle three times. In between cycles you're changing buffing heads and applying sprays and creams to the DVD. After the nine plus minutes of work is completed the DVD may still have scratches severe enough to interrupt playback. (You know, the usual Netflix stuff.)
I bought this unit to replace the manual hand crank Skipdoctor unit which broke under the rigor of my vigorous cranking. I recommend the Skipdoctor.
Update: The unit seized and will not power up. What an embarrassment for Maxell.
I would like to downgrade from two stars to one, but the star setting can't be edited.
Customer Review: Doesn't repair disks that are tiling
Summary: 2 Stars
My older son is gaga over Men in Black II, but my 3 year old son maybe bit the disk. We ordered the Maxell Pro Disc Fixer DSR-1 and waited with baited breath until it arrived. When it did arrive, I noticed a chemical smell - we had the same fluid leaking problem another reviewer had.
Before my 3 year old chewed up the instructions, I noticed that at the bottom it says "THIS PRODUCT WILL NOT REPAIR TILING ON DVDS" and shows a picture with big pixels on it - not something I'd seen in any of the information I saw before ordering the device.
Also repeated in the instructions several times is "DO NOT TOUCH PADS!" Well, for my hands, it is physically impossible to pick up the pads using only the crossbar you're supposed to use.
Oh, and BTW, the website given for help/information on the package doesn't exist.
Customer Review: Will fix disc's great but...
Summary: 2 Stars
I have no problem with this product as far as fixing disc's. But I bought this product less than a year ago and it's already broke. A consummer is suppose to get a 100 cleans and fixes out of it before you need to order refills, but do not believe that either. I called and complain to Maxell USA about their product, however they only cover this product for 90 days. I left a complaint with them but they told me there was nothing that could be done for me. They seemed to be not interested on if there was problem or not with this product "so buyer beaware".Customer Review: Doesn't do to good
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this one because I didn't want to spend more money and thought that it would get the job done. The compound in the back of the unit was leaking and had leaked all over the inside. I tried the unit after getting it cleaned up and although it would clean disks ok it didn't do a very good job of fixing any of them. It also leaves swirl marks on your disks. I sent this one back and got a Simo, much better unit and worth the money.Customer Review: problems with vendor not product
Summary: 2 Stars
It fixes and cleans discs pretty well but is very loud and slow. The real problem however was with the vendor (Ritz Camera) who have botched up every order I ever made with them somehow.
