I don't usually write reviews, but this product worked so well I was compelled to share my experience. Last week I settled in to watch a Netflix and discovered my DVD player had stopped working. I tried repeatedly to insert the DVD and it would immediately eject. I tried to load my DVD player about 100 times with a variety of DVDs and found the player simply would not acknowledge or read my DVDs. So I decided to do a little online research and came across this Memorex CD/DVD Laser Lens Cleaner. Figured for $10 it was worth trying out. After all, that's much less expensive than a repair shop or a new player. Long story short: it worked! The whole process took all of 10 minutes and now my DVD player is working perfectly. Very glad I decided to try this product.

Never worked. Have tried on several computers, and none will recognize it as a CD. Buy another brand, don't waste your time or money.

When i try to play a CD, my '97 Acura is rejecting CD's and responding with a code that says "PEO" 95% of the time, or more. I don't know if that means a dirty lens or not, but i figured this was worth a try. After dozens of attempts, i got the cleaner to work two or three times, but there was no change in the playability of the unit, so i returned the product.
Since then i have bought a disk that says it is especially for cleaning automotive CD players. i thought heat perhaps is more of an issue with car CD players, so i got one, and i have had no more luck with it than i did with the Memorex. Usually the player will reject the disk, but i did get the cleaning cycle to run a half dozen times. However, there is no change in playback - usually a CD is rejected. So i wonder if the lens problem (if that's what it is) is actually an alignment problem, or perhaps a cleaning problem that is too far along for a disk cleaning system to work.
The dealership wants $475 to pull the CD player and fix it. These disks are DEFINITELY the thing to try before turning to options like THAT ! Good luck !

I have a Toshiba SD-1800 DVD player, and at first it was able to play the first and second track of the Memorex disk, but then it stopped functioning and my player won't read it anymore. I tried to select track 13, which is supposed to be the cleaning track, but it doesn't appear to have done anything, since my player still freezes intermittently whenever it plays disks.

Money not well spent. Bought to clean lens on Samsung DVD player and just showed pic, no audio. Didn't clean lens. Went to Best Buy and bought Maxell Thunderon Brush System and it worked like a charm.
