Customer Reviews

Has paid for it self already
After the succes enjoyed by the manual version of this product I owned I decided to upgrade to the automatic version. This is an excellent product that has repaired well over £100 worth of CD's and DVD's so it has paid for it self 3 times already including replacement wheels, all repairs that i have attempted have been completley succesful. you must follow the instructions to keep the cd wet so that it is lubricated otherwise the disk could get damaged from friction, but that is so simple to do you only have to give the CD a squirt of "resurfacing fluid" (water) each time you use it any you will never have a damaged cd and you only need to keep the bottle topped up with water rather than buy more of it. There are a few drawbacks one is that it is a bit on the noisy side another is that you may have to do the disk up to 20 time for extremly severe damage but it always works eventually. Considering how much money it has saved me this is probably the greatest gadget i have ever bought and a lot more practical than most as well.

A Worthwhile Investment
I bought the SkipDoctor Automax a few months back and it has proven to be a really good investment. If you have CDs or DVDs that have surface scratches and are not playing as a result, use the Automax on them (it takes just a couple of minutes) and they play perfectly again. Its has saved me a fair amount of money so far by saving me from having to bin my old discs and buy replacements just because of a couple of scratches. Lets face it, discs are very easy to scratch and damage, and everyone gets a bit careless with them. I would advise anyone with a fair sized CD or DVD collection to invest in one of these. The good thing is the disc can be fixed in a matter of minutes so if you have friends over and your entertainment is about to be ruined because of a skipping or hard-to-load disc, it can be sorted instantly!

Does the job
As someone who buys and sells 2nd hand cd's a lot of the CDs I get are scratched and skip. I've used the hand cranked skip doctor for ages but cleaning up a batch of cds can take an age (and cause a touch of RSI) so this motorised version is something of a godsend.

I've used this to clean up dozens of discs and almost all have been made playable once more. Any disc that skips or jumps due to a LIGHT scratch can be made playable once more. Heavily scratched discs are rarely improved but then it the skipdr doesn't claim to fix these. (Occasionally more heavily discs can be fixed with multiple "cleans" but not often).

As I've used the hand version, I knew how to apply the resurfacing fluid (filtered water to you and me!) so as not to damage the disc unlike the previous reviewer. Remember the disc is faulty before you start so it's hard to make things worse!! Just follow the instructions and don't be shy applying the fluid then you shouldn't have any problems.

The only downside is that there is only one "grinding wheel" supplied (the hand version came with two) and these don't seem to be readily available in the UK, also they take 6 AA batteries so it would be nice if they came with a power supply - one is available for a few dollars but you have to send of to the USA. Although I would think that any universal power supply could be used and these cost less than a set of batteries.

I've never used this on a CD-R or DVD so can't comment on it effectiveness on these, but, for me, it has already more than paid for itself fixing CD's that otherwise I would have to throw away
