Bought this to replace my old Disk Doctor. Works fine removing light scratched from my disks.
As far as ruined CD's, I can see this happening if you dont wet the disc or make more than one complete revolution of the cd with out wiping it off and re-wetting it (cd plastic grinds alread done area). I have been using this paticular style (cd vertical ) style since 2001. Yes i leaves lines going outward toward the edge of the cd , but this is INVISIBLE to the laser. if the wheel goes out (about 50 cd's) it just wont remove the scratch as well. use it , wet it , one complete rotation, wipe and enjoy.
When my husband got this for my birthday, I was disappointed. Sometimes it takes 2-3 passes through the machine, (mine is electric) but it's great. However, since I have repaired CDs and DVDs, I am so grateful. CDs from high school (over 15 years)which I could not listen to are great again, DVDs that skip badly and ready for the trash are watchable again. I have even repaired some of the Netflix DVDs I have gotten.I don't hesitate to recommend the $ be spent for this. I am sure, that until CD/DVD are obsolete, we will need a repair tool like this.
It doesn't remove scratches, but it improves them enough to make it readable. I've used this to fix about 6 of my Xbox video games. Unfortunately I tried this on a DVD and it made it unplayable. One was so badly scratched I didn't think it would ever play. I had to run through the procedure about 5 times, but after that the game has played flawlessly. I don't know why. But it has worked great on games for me.
I had this for years, and it saved many, many CD's, CDrom's, and DVD's which had some mild scratching. I'm shocked at the negative reviews- the only thing I can think is that they did not use it properly. It requires a lot of water, and after the wheel has been used for a while it tends not to work well. It is only something you do AFTER your CD isn't working, so there is no way it could really "ruin" it (as the CD is already ruined).
