Customer Review: It's a scratch kit
Summary: 1 Stars
When I paid somewhere between $20-$30 a couple of months ago for the OptiFix Pro Kit, I made the wrongful assumption that a high price tag would entail good craftsmanship in contrast with some of the cheaper radial cleaners I've owned before. The package's description made it seem promising enough and I've had mostly good experiences with Memorex in the past, so I just had put it to the test immediately after taking the product home. After reading the instruction guide carefully before use, I'm positive the product was being used properly, but unfortunately, the OptiFix Pro just couldn't deliver the goods. In fact, not only could it do nothing to restore any of the discs I inserted, it worsened the scratches it was supposed to repair! What's more frustrating - two of the discs it served to further damage are out of print and therefore irreplacable. I hope fellow CD collectors will sympathize and steer clear of this particular Memorex product.Customer Review: Worst CD doctor product I've used yet
Summary: 1 Stars
After getting tired of having to Hold the other CD Doctor type products out there, I decided to try this one as you can put the CD in and wait. Well I brought it home and opened the box, and low and behold the repair solution bottle was already open. Went back out and bought another bottle and tried this out. After it was done "repairing" the disc, I pulled it out and looked at it, and saw absolutely no difference in hwo the CD looked before I put it in. With the other skip doctor, you can see that it's made a difference. Figured thats how it worked and tried it out. It changed nothing in my CD. Same skips at the same places. Tried it a few more times with other scratched up CDs, and nothing. I felt scammed on this one, as it didn't do a thing to my cds. I will go back to the other CD doctors, as I never had an issue with them. I suggest you stay away from this one, unless you have money to blow and want to try something different.Customer Review: THE SCRATCH MAKER
Summary: 1 Stars
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 IS UNACCEPTABLE.
Customer Review: I WILL BE RETURNING THIS TO WALMART

We Bought This Yesterday to repair a gamecube disk, that keeps stopping in the middle of the game with a disc error read, there are alot of scratches but we thought this would help-Wrong. I ran it through the repair process about 6 times, testing the game after each try, also tried the cleaning process. Well the end result is that is does not work. I wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing this item,( I actually went to purchase another brand, but this was all the store had),We were desperate, so we tried. We will be returing this item today-I will try another brand,hopefully I get the game fixed ,it is cheaper than buying a new game, Now if I can only find the right repair kit.Customer Review: Lame

I got this as a gift. I already had a hand-cranked scratch remover that works great! Except you have to turn it forever, and I was happy to get a motorized one.
I put a minorly scratched CD in the machine. It's noisy. And after a while of noise that annoyed everyone around me, I took the disc out....and it was exactly like how I put it in there. It didn't do anything.
The repair wheels and the cleaning wheels seem to be made of the same fabric, which is barely abrasive. They're just different colors is all.
For cleaning, it might do a different job, but why get a machine to do it when you can use a t-shirt like everyone else does?
