VMI Hybrid 2 - CD/DVD/Games Disc Repair Machine

Good little Disc Repairer, for £750, it weight around 7-8 Kilos, so kind of heavy. Had loads of issues with it when it arrived, it would not repair discs as good as i thought it left quite a few scratches, Fine & Medium,and Compound was comming out way to much, i had to contact Support who was Awsome in helping me how to sort this out over a few days, i admit i nealy sent it back, but after a week i ran out of supplies, i ordered a Comsumer pack on TDR website, Noticed ther C grade machines was £8.95 there abouts, so i did same money, Also on my order i got a free set of Pads and a free bottle of compound (which i asked for) for all the trouble the machine gave me. Ive kind of sorted the machine out now, but i still get scratches time to time on Game discs mainly round the top round edges, ive asked support for how to stop this and waiting on a reply.. I would given the 5* but with al lthe hassle i had at the begining and still having some issueswith it now it got to be 4* for now.

The machine itself is good value for money even at over £1500, however the way the machine works with it's 500 minutes chip is, well frustrating to say the least. The pads are more than capable of doing double the minutes stated, and the cost per consumables pack is not financially viable to repair lower priced discs. £64.50 ex vat (£77.40) per consumables pack means in essence it costs approx 65p per disc to repair. Where as the slower and less professional machine the JFJ Easy Pro is approx 11.8p per disc. I must note the difference in the finish is night and day, the VMI is head and shoulders above it's cheaper competitor with a new like finish time and time again. Overall I would recommend it, but bare in mind the costs of running.
