Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Memorex Optifix Motorized CD/DVD Cleaner and Scratch Repair Kit
Customer Review: Garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
Normally I check reviews before buying any electronic. But we are going on the road tomorrow and I wanted to fix the kids DVDs before then. I go to Target and get this for $20.
Absolute waste of money! The DVDs have gone from playing but pausing/freezing from scratches, to not playing at all. Since I foolishly trusted this product to be worthwhile, three DVDs are toast now, thanks Memorex!
You can bet two things:
A. I'm not buying any electronic without looking it up first.
B. Memorex is going to get a steady stream of complaints.
Don't waste your money, this thing is useless.
Customer Review: Cleaning Mode Does Damage!
Summary: 1 Stars
I must agree with the other shopper who found this unit damaging his discs. In cleaning mode, the Optifix Pro leaves a hazy film on the disc, with radial swirl patterns, that I have not been able to remove. An effective cleaner should leave a disc shiny and bright, free of haze. According to Memorex, this haze is caused by the pads and solution and can be wiped off -- but I wasn't able to wipe it off. I would have to call this product UNACCEPTABLE, and I am returning it for a refund. I guess I'll have to pick up one of the Maxell cleaners; they're poorly made of cheap plastic, but at least they clean a disc effectively and feature reusable pads...Customer Review: Not Worth It
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought mine at Wal-Mart for $20, followed the instructions with two scratched DVD's from the library (one badly scratched, the other still playable) - and saw almost no change in the scratches or playability. It's going back in the morning.
This model relies on an aluminum oxide paste (superfine liquid sandpaper) to sand off the scratches. I think I'll see better performance from one of the products that actually fills in the scratches rather than sanding down the rest of the disc.
For cleaning, just get one of the inexpensive manual cleaners with the little bottle of denatured alcohol - they work just fine.
Customer Review: be warned about lead
Summary: 1 Stars
I was really excited to get this product. I unpacked everything and noticed a label on the cord. Imagine my surprise when it said: "This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling."
There was no warning on the box, and customer service did not seem to be concerned that their products contain lead!!! There must be something else out there that can be used. I have a three year old who puts his hands on everything, I am returning this immediately.
Customer Review: Find another way !
Summary: 1 Stars
Can only rate this as one star...This unit leaves small semi circle scrathes on my dvd's and cd's.
I am trying to experiment with it cause there is not much out there. But looks like it will go back to where it came from.
I have owned a discwasher cdstealth cleaner for years. Nobody sells replacement pads for it, otherwise I would still be using it... Even though it was a pain to operate.
The Memorex unit would be the ultimate system. However there is no sense speaking of its ease of use if it damages your collection. SHAME on Memorex.
