 DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!! April 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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

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.
Memorex Optifix pro; tried it despite the reviews... February 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Okay. I read all the reviews on the Memorex Optifix Pro and thought
that perhaps all of the people that experienced problems were
doing something wrong. SO, when I stumbled upon it at my local Wal-Mart,
i bought it for $18. I can seriously say that it is made pretty shabbily.
The plastic body feels like an uber cheap cd player. I followed the
directions precisely and tried to "repair" three cds. The only
result this unit yields is a clean cd. NO scratches were "repaired".
This unit is a good concept executed poorly. This unit 100% does NOT
resurface cds. (i tried to resurface a cd with 3 medium scratches. after
6-7 "repair" cycles the only difference was the cd looks cleaner. all
the scratches (although not too deep) were still there. I am taking
it back to wal-mart because i have ordered the aleretec as some reviewers
have reccomended. this product is cheap, but even at that price it is ineffective for repair. It is an excellent unit for cleaning. (although the "cleaning soloution" is merely alcohol mixed w/water.) the repair solvent has no grit to it, so i was tempted to put toothpaste on the repair wheel and see if that would actually resurface my disc,
but i didn't want to destroy my cdon a whim and lose my ability to
return this for not working as it claims. i would not reccomend this product for anyone. i am sure there are several products out there
that actually do something to the disc layers. I did notice that
other reviewers complained about swirl marks on the disc. i did get
that slightly, but that is common with most resurfacers i have used.
the aleratec supposedly doesn't do that, so we will see.

It's a good product for the most basic general cleaning. The pads have a limitted life span and the skip that I had on a DVD that I was trying to repair .... well it still skips.
