I bought this to clean up all of my kids DVDs. They have a ton of discs that are dirty, scratched, etc. I have cleaned over 30 discs so far and have fixed all but one (it was *really* scratched up).
I am suprised at the negative reviews on this item since I have considered this one of my smartest buys this year.
Works well February 25, 2007

I bought this to try to fix some of my child's scratched up DVDs. It works well, but you might have to run a DVD through multiple times. Example: DVD that had a place where it skipped/got stuck towards the end. First run through, the DVD was terrible. YOu couldn't even watch any of it. I came very close to writing a terrible review. I ran it through a second time and the DVD was returned to its original condidtion without the skip being fixed at all. I ran it through a third time and the skip was almost completely fixed. Slight mess up in the audio and a few weird pixels on the screen. So, I ran it through again and I think its completely fixed.
Works just as advertised May 9, 2007

The Skip Dr. is one of those rare devices that does exactly what it is advertised to do (no DVD that has a scratch on the label side of the disk can be repaired, and some very deep scratches on a playing side may not be repairable--if the first repair does not work, repeat the process). Though operation of the device is fairly intuitive, the directions for use are clear and it is worthwhile to read and follow them. It's important to realize that CDs and DVDs aren't read the same way that LPs were, back in the olden days (okay, MY olden days--it's humbling to have to explain to your 14-year-old what a "45" or "LP" or even "an album" is). CD/s and DVDs aren't read starting at the outside and spiraling in, they are read in lines starting from the center of the disk and out toward the edge. This is important to realize so that you know why you should only dry and buff a disk from the center outward, take the cloth off the disk, and do it again (from the center straight out,working your way around the disk. Don't swipe the cloth around and around the face of the disk or you will just create more scratches that will interfere with playback. Don't scrub back and forth, just wipe from the center out. Same with the buffing cloth. The Skip Dr's cleaning wheel cleans the disk in the proper direction, from the center out. It leaves "rays" that are like faint shadow-spokes radiating out from the center of the disk to the edge. These faint lines don't interfere with playback in any way. A drying cloth and buffing cloth are included. The procedure is basically spray on the repair solution, place the disk in Skip Dr. (which will start and stop automatically), remove the disk when ejected, dry it off, buff a little (don't go for a chrome-like shine--it's not important for reading the disk and if "new car shine" is that important to you, forget repair and replace the disk with a new one. This is a repair, not a reincarnation). I have used several manual machines over the years and this does the best of the lot--5 moderately damaged disks, all of which play without errors. Oh, and Disk Dr. comes with a lifetime warranty, but I believe you have to send it in its original box--so hang onto the box.
Well worth the price! November 25, 2005

Simply put, this is an amazing piece of machinery. I order a lot of used house/trance CDs from overseas, which can be quite expensive. They don't always arrive in the best shape unfortunately, especially older CDs. The SkipDR has managed to save every single CD I've used it on, no matter what condition it arrived in. It's truly saved me a ton of aggrevation.
I highly reccomend the automated version instead of the manual one, which I ordered first. The automated version is about 20x easier and faster to use, which you'll appreciate if you have a bunch of CDs to clean.
There is only one slight downside to this machine that's been talked about before, and that is how fast the disposable parts run out. The wheel and fluid will only last about 20-25 CDs, far less than the advertised amount. But if you really want to save your CDs/DVDs, it's just a small issue. The price of replacement kits is far cheaper than re-buying a ton of CDs and DVDs.
I definantly reccomend this if you have tons of optical media laying around. Well worth the cost!
It worked for me, too! October 5, 2005

I was playing Metal Gear Solid 2:Substance one day, and BAM!!!! The game stopped working. My town has a game shop where they can repair your games for a dollar. I tried there, but it STILL didn't work!
One day, I saw this while on a vacation in Florida. I was a bit skeptical, after all, it cost $40! But what the hey, I could refund it if it didn't help repair my nonworking disc. It worked. My game plays like new again.
Here's how it works: just spray entire play-side of the disc with the spray provided, stick it in the machine [with the play-side facing the wheel], wait a minute, then, when it pops out, dry the disc with cloth provided, and buff it using the little pad provided [that helps restore the shine].
It's small, lightweight, and easy to carry. I suggest to get this if you have a nonworking disc.
