Skipdoctor CD Repair KitI purchase this as a Christmas gift for my sister. We both used it. The first cd we used came out with lines across the whole cd, due to sanding method. I thought it had ruined cd. Then I had to dry and buff myself, Very time consuming.It worked for 1 or 2 plays, then started skipping again.Also, being battery powered, I had to change the batteries three times in 1 month. Another big downfall were the sanding disks. They have to be manuevered into the machine to the point your actually bending them to fit,as they are very thin. Thus, the disks don't turn strait. It looks like a bent bicycle wheel.The sanding strips looks like they were glued on to the wheels, after only a few uses, the strips came off were they were glued,with excess flap hanging off, while it was turning. Making it impossible to use. I will be throwing it out,if you have alot of cds or dvds to repair, I don't think this product is your answer, I wouldn't recommed it!!Customer Review: A perfect No Go.

Well after a hassle trying to buy it online since I live outside continental USA. But we are a Common Wealth of the USA. Really, this is stupid, bummer 1. Looks like they didn't want to sell them outside of continental USA. Never the less, I picked up mine at my local Kmart, price, 45.00 without the power supply, bumper2. After I open it i find out that they will sell you the power supply for 5.00 plus shipping more, with proof of purchase. I realized this after I trashed the payment stub. Bummer 3. To use it I first saw a video on how to use it. Looks quite simple. OK, when I started to use it, first it is noisy bummer 4. The first two CD were not fix and one even got worst bummer 5. I'll keep using it until I can get better results. I have a very, very large CD collection going into 2,000CDs+. I'll try to see if I can get the 9 volt power supply without threatening National Security. Until know it has been a great disappointment. BTW, it has one star, but to me, it doesn't deserve one star at all. Between me and you, zero star is my evaluation.Customer Review: Works As Described!

So I was a bit skeptical when I bought this product, but I figured I had to give it a try. My test CD? An Xbox 360 game that I found outside that looked like it had been thrown out of a moving car. There were some very serious scratches on it and my 360 had no interest in playing the game for me.
My Skip Dr. arrived, I plugged it in, I liberally sprayed the disc with the included solution, placed it easily into the unit (I don't know what those other reviewers are talking about when they say they have to force it in) and the Skip Dr. immediately started cleaning the disc. About 2 minutes later, it spat it back out. I then buffed it as recommended by the instructions.
Now, the moment of truth! I put the newly buffed Disc (which no longer had ANY visible scratches on it) into my Xbox 360 - and it worked perfectly!! No hiccups whatsoever!
Now I've just got to get rid of this junky Xbox game I found on the ground.... gamestop here I come!
Customer Review: Saved discs I had thought were gone!

I normally take very good care of my discs, but every now and then one pops up with a scratch and starts to skip. So frustrating when you spend so much money on buying CDs. Also, I often borrow CD sets from the library and they are typically loaded with scratches which make the CDs skip. I bought this unit to help me with both of these problems.
So what the result? It works great! I've been able to fix most of the CDs and they play perfectly now! I'm so excited! It doesn't work miracles on really deep scratches, but I didn't expect it would be able to fix those. I don't think that's a reasonable expectation. I highly recommend this product to those of you who are interested in fixing discs with skips. The instructions say that you may need to run the disc through more than one time depending on how deep the scratch is. I think they say you can run the disc through about 10 times without effecting the playing quality. It's a very impressive tool! I highly recommend!
Customer Review: Great product, COMES WITH A POWER CORD

I ordered one of these because my copy of NHL 08 for Xbox 360 was so scratched it wouldn't play (really nasty circular scratches all around the disc). Within 3 minutes, this thing made it good as new - the manual portions of the process are easy, and the machine works fast. The machine is smartly designed, too - it holds the spray fluid, cleaning cloth, and buffer in built-in compartments. After being cleaned/resurfaced, the disc does have a radial pattern on it, but my system reads it like a charm. The machine says that the same disc can be cleaned multiple times, so I guess it doesn't wear off all of the coating.
Also, the unit I ordered came with the AC Adapter in the box (with a sticker advertising as such), so I think it's now included. I think it's more convenient with batteries, but the power brick works well too.
For the cost of one replacement game disc, I now have confidence that all of my games and movies are safe. That's something!
