It's excellent for CD ROM's and games since the game part on a CD is at the beginning of it and the rest of a CD it doesn't really matter, because if it has some scratches is not going to affect how the game plays, so resurfacing the disc for a long period of time to take deep scratches off is ok since it won't affect it, but Movies, music and audio is a different story and you have to be careful not to resurface it to harshly because it won't play so read all the directions carefully before you use or decide to buy this machine. For me it works well because it does a good job polishing DVDs and it takes off the finger prints from the discs, so it saves me time, but it's not a miracle worker and would not make a nasty scratch disappear.

I purchased a large amount of video games from a used game store and needed a machine that could clean them without breaking the bank. This disk cleaner has received mixed reviews but it seemed like the best option in my price range. I don't regret buying this but I will go ahead and say that you need to practice before actually cleaning disks you want to keep. I destroyed about 6 disks before I got the hang of it. I tested the machine on a variety of setting and kept notes on what exactly worked. The instructions provided suggested keeping the disk in for 2 minutes...which I found to be way to much time. While using this machine I have noticed that certain disks seem to respond differently to sand paper, buffing solution and polishing solution. It's really just a lot of trial and error. Once I figured out what worked I had no problems. I have primarily been cleaning playstation 2 games with light to moderate scratches all over the disk. The machine seems to get hot with continuous usage. I would run the disk for 20 seconds with the buffing solution, let it sit for 10 seconds, run the disk again with buffing solution for 10 seconds. THEN. Run the disk with polishing solution for 20 seconds, let it sit for 10 seconds and run the disk again with polishing solution for 10 more seconds. ALWAYS USE THE SPRAY THAT COMES WITH THIS. If you are looking to buy one of these, I would go ahead and suggest doing it. Just be aware that you will absolutely want to practice with a few junk discs. DOES NOT WORK FOR BLU RAY DISCS.Read full review

At first glance this machine seems to be either a bargain or a toy. After buying one i'm both very pleased and disappointed. The entry price would be awesome if it was problem free but you get what you pay for. This machine will repair really bad scratches however it takes up to half an hour of repeat cycles. The machine has 4 pads and the design is velcro and so you are constantly changing pads non stop. On top of this you apply the paste manually. It gets messy. Further, the machine is not truly suitable for blu-rays that have any kind of scratch and most current generation games are blu-ray. That said it will repair my hundreds of scratched up games i have to the point of near perfection. It just takes a lot of managing. I am solving my problem by actually buying another machine and might buy up to 4 machines so i don't have to change pads since i envision the velcro becoming a problem longterm. For me, It gets the disc close enough to fully repaired it is worth the investment if you have a lot of games and cd's. In the end though my games will be going to the game store for a much reduced final repair at a gamestore. This machine is reducing my cost there from $3-4 each to a single dollar so I am happy doing the pre-repair at home. It is worth the investment from my standpoint. Not sure if i'd be happy with a solo machine tho. Read full review

Although the learning curve on this item is not exceedingly steep, it is definitely not as easy to use as the advertisements would lead you to believe. Really all it takes is patience and several trials to do the job. Always take the least aggressive path first in trying to fix or repair your CD/DVD. Once you start removing the thin layer of plastic to make the CD readable again, you can't undo it. I have salvaged more than 30 CDs and most of them are now out of stock everywhere. It would have been very expensive to replace the CDs but this little machine made them like new again.

I take my cd's/games to a local game store to have them cleaned. They charge 3.00 a piece I took a look @ the machine they were using and it was a JFJ easy pro. So I went online and checked to see if Ebay had one and they did. The price was right so I purchased one. Now I don't have to my cd's/games to the local game store I can clean them myself. I had some cd's with some surface damage and the JFJ easy pro made them look practically new. So if you have some friends who need cd's/games repaired you can probably make a little.
