Picked this up just before a long road trip to repair/clean all our kids DVD's. Worked perfect and made the trip an easy one.2 out of 2 found this review helpful.

not the one shown in the pictures3

Just be aware that the item shown in the pictures is not what you'll be getting. I bought the item thinking it was as shown in the pictures: the orange wheel that is suppose to clean 50 disc (this description is from Amazon) and the box shown says it has the adapter included. What I received was one with a purple wheel that cleans 25 discs (this description is from Amazon) and was in a different box that states no adapter included. To be fair, the product description says no adapter included and they do have small writing under product description that states "Product images, including color, may differ from actual product appearance." The discrepancy was large and I think the pictures should be changed to cause less confusion. I haven't tried the machine yet so I can't review how it performs.7 out of 14 found this review helpful.

Excellent product for those damaged discs5

A fantastic product, Digital Innovations SkipDR AUTOMAX is a fantastic piece of tech to repair your CD or DVD. I had a copy of Halo 3 that I had tried EVERYTHING to get working for the last 4 YEARS, but I finally buckled and bought this product, despite many fellow gamers saying that it didn't work.
Now, I don't know if they didn't do it properly, had the manual version or if they legitimately had bad products, but after reading the instructions CAREFULLY (and applying slightly more cleaning fluid than was required, as that was apparently a noted issue with previous consumers), I was able to clean that copy of Halo 3 perfectly, and now I can finally play the trilogy with my fiance! This was well worth the money, and I'm now planning on investing in some more flex wheels and cleaning spray to retain my video games for even longer!
PS, in case the manual is a bit confusing, you clean it VERY well, then spray it strongly with the liquid, run it for two revolutions through the machine (make sure it goes all the way in, you might need to push a little bit), and then buff VERY WELL (buffing shouldn't scratch it, so buff your heart out). If you don't buff, you're going to have issues.11 out of 11 found this review helpful.

We have already repaired 10 dvd's and 5 games, saving ourselves at least $100 in replacement costs. Best value purchase in quite a while.6 out of 6 found this review helpful.

Missing cleaning solution1

I haven't tried it yet, partly because the cleaning solution was missing. The box clearly had a space for it but there was no solution. I was also hoping this would work for all discs but the instructions says not for use on Bluray discs (I don't remember that this was described in the product details). I'm already skeptical that this would work but I have to find another cleaning solution to use with this first. Tried to call Customer Service to let them know but I was tired of waiting after 15mins of being on hold.5 out of 10 found this review helpful.
