JFJ One-Step Eyecon Mini Video Game, CD, DVD, Blu-Ray Repair Machine with JFJ Easy Pro Video Game, CD, DVD, Blu-Ray Repair Machine 110V

Two years ago I purchased a JFJ Easypro through Amazon. Was also considering the Eyecon but the price differential was too great. Well, If I knew then what I know now, I would have bought the Eyecon AND an Easypro together, even though I would have had to pay full price for both. That difference in price quickly evaporated as I concluded I really needed 2 Easypros if I was going to make any progress at all in cleaning a very large CD collection and that eventually included a third Easypro when the first one expired. Nearly two years since purchase of the first Easypro and not even half way through resurfacing my collection, decided to get the Eyecon with the free Easypro thrown in. The EasyPro gets the job done but doing so is a tedious, time consuming process, especially if you are dealing with many cds that need all 4 steps. By using two Easypros together, you can get more done in a given length of time.After about two months of using the Eyecon, I can report that it is superior in all respects to the Easypro. In 15 to 30 seconds the Eyecon can clean most cds in one step as well as or better than the Easypro can in 4 steps. By extending that time to 45 or 60 seconds I find that the Eyecon does a creditable job of resurfacing even the worst looking cds with just the occasional cd needing treatment with the Easypro. Anyone who purchases an Easypro will spend far more on supplies than the machine costs. In two months with the Eyecon, I have resurfaced over 800 cds, using 3 pads and 1 and a half bottles of their Poli-con formula. I don't know what technical differences exist in the motors of the two machines, but the Eyecon seems to run quieter and smoother than the EasyproTo summarize: The JFJ Eyecon compared to their Easypro gives better results in a small fraction of the time and at a small fraction of the cost

Eight years ago I purchased a JFJ Single Arm buffing machine. It served me quite well. Not only would the discs look fantastic (as long as you weren't in direct light- if you were then the swirls could be seen), more importantly they would work! Sometimes I'd have to sand a disk a half dozen times, but it was rare for a disc to just be worthless (as long as the top wasn't gouged). Well, a bit over a month ago, the one glaring flaw with those machines (the plastic hinge) gave up the ghost and completely shattered. I looked all over the internet, but couldn't find a replacement in the $450 range that I originally paid for the machine. The best I could find was a Dual Arm machine direct from JFJ for $650. I didn't want to spend that much! So instead I opted to try this duo. What a mistake.The Easy Pro was always meant for consumers, not professional use. Even with alternating pads so that each one would have a minute to minute and a half rest between uses, they just get too hot to do more than a single disc repair every 20 minutes. On top of that, the finish is no where near as nice as what I was getting out of the Single Arm.Then there's the Mini Eyecon. While I like (LOVE) the idea of a single pad/ solution operation, it just doesn't do a good job! After a month of use I could never get the discs to not have swirls on them. It seemed like there was always too much solution on the pad or not enough. It got so that I'd use one pad for a couple discs, and then go rinse it off and let it dry for a couple days before using it again. Great if you have a boatload of pads to constantly rotate. Again, the finish of the disc never had that "like new!" look that my old Single Arm could attain.But what so what? You may be thinking. Expecting a $263 set of machines to do the job a $450 machine did seems to be asking a bit much right? I thought that too at first. The discs may not look as good, but if they work then deal with it you cheapskate. THEREIN LIES THE REAL PROBLEM! I've never had so many discs that look passable- come back defective. I've been using the machines for almost a month. Two weeks ago I came to the realization that I would have to test EVERY DISC I repaired to make sure it worked. I rarely had to do that with the Single Arm. For whatever reason, even though the discs would look sort of decent despite some swirl marks they just wouldn't read. PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, or 360, it didn't matter. The discs would pass visual inspection, but would not load. Oh, and people that have complained about cracking the center part of discs weren't lying. Had to toss plenty of PS1 and PS2 discs because these cruddy machines cracked them.Today I had enough. I feel bad returning something I used for a month, but I can't deal with these machines anymore. What I saved in money up front I'm losing in time messing around AND goodwill from my customers. What used to take me five minutes with the Single Arm is pushing 20 minutes with these, and then the games still don't even work. I'm left with no other choice.I just began the process to return these machines and I ordered the $650 Double Arm instead.

This is a very good product. Didn't take all scratches completely off (only removes light scratches), but was very happy with the results. The buffing compound goes a long way (lasts for several uses). I repaired a few unreadable XBOX games and Music CD's. It is just a wonderful machine to own, especially if you own a large CD/DVD collection and/or if your kids are rough on their disc games. The JFC Mini Icon is a must have!

Supplies are next to impossible if you run out and they don't last long before the consistency gets to loose. The pads for the JFJ ONne Stop don't wear even which ends up leaving the disc with swirls and scratches. IThe pads also get frayed along the edges and this leaves marks after you have cleaned a disc have found I can do better with my 8" bench grinder with a soft and medium cloth wheel on it and some white compound from Harbor Freight for about 1/20 of the price and the compound stays in stock form and never gets runny. I did everything the way I was supposed to and even worked with JFJ's tech suport but never could get this to work like it states it should. If I could give it 0 stars I would.

I bought this for my music shop. It seems to repair really light scratches on discs pretty good but after a few uses it doesn't do much other than polish. The sand paper will most likely ruin discs so I avoid using them. Buy something else if you can afford it. I know that RTI machines work great but I don't have 3,000 dollars to drop on one of those.

I bought this to bring my DVD and CD collection up to par as they have scratches on them to be erased!

One of the better conditioners I have purchased. A little shy on the amount of polish provided.

the cost is too high. But the machine worker good. That why I gave it five stars
