Sooo tacky.I prefer the circular hand crank disc cleaners, they are made (or branded) by many electronic media companies like Philips, Scotch & Memorex. It's half black, half grey & the spray bottle is half white, half blue. There's a few screws holding it in place.I ordered mine from amazon seller "Computer Geeks" and what arrived is not all black.
Rule number one with wiping the surface of the disc is to not go with the grooves in a circular motion. It's loud, it tips over easily & the cleaning pad is quite small.Another commenter mentioned that if you need a new cleaning pad you have to re-buy the whole contraption. This thing is such garbage.
This is wrong, it's simple to buy a piece of microfiber fabric & replace it DIY. they have a spinning cleaner on a gear that keeps the wipe motion perpendicular to the disc's motion. It is recommended to wipe from the inside to the outside.
This motorized cleaner does it with the wrong circular motion.
The unit will continue to run until the rotating disks is manually removed. This compact system with built in storage for the cleaning spray is convienient to store and use. Tough dirt should be cleaned by spraying the cleaner onto a tissue and wiping prior to inserting into the Disc Cleaner.
The unit has rubber feet so you can sit it on top of your TV or other surface and it won't slide off. When you feel the disc has had enough (not more than 10 seconds), you pull the disc out and it's done. Battery-powered, easy to use. You spray the disc with fluid that comes with the unit, then insert the disc into slot and the machine spins the disc against a cleaning cloth.
I applied 2 more doses of the cleaning fluid and more of the same. I tested this item on a moderately dirty DVD and watched in amazement as it made perfect rings of grime evenly around the DVD. A useless gimmick rather than a real cleaning tool.Prior to dropping and breaking it I'd been using the "CD Stealth" cleaner, which works in a radial fashion, and had been excellent for almost 4 years.This doody is going back to Fry's and I will be getting the more expensive but proven CD Stealth again. Not purchased from Amazon, but the 2nd of my dud purchases at Fry's electronics. The "cleaner" simply spins the disc while a "cushion" of cleaning material pushes down on the surface and attempts to remove dirt and smudges.
repair system with good success. I have also used the Skip Dr. Sometimes you need to run the disc through more than once, but the thing works. I find this works well for cleaning CDs, DVD, and game discs. If discs are scratched, you need a repair system.
