Theres a right way and a wrong way to clean your discs. Generations of record cleaning have ingrained an instinct to wipe around and around the disc I better stop there. Thats the wrong way to clean a CD!

There are no grooves in a CD. Sure the data on the disc is saved around the disc, but the surface is smooth. The best nay, the only way to clean your discs is to move in straight lines from the inside edge to the outside edge. Imagine, if you will, a clock. Now put your finger in the middle of the clock and move in a straight line to the number 12. Then go back to the middle and move in a straight line to the number one. Back to the middle and out to the number two... This is called a radial motion.

The CD/DVD Radial Cleaner takes care of the radial motion for you. Just turn the handle. The system of gears turns a cleaning pad to clean your discs the right way. We include our Ultreen Solution to make sure you get the stubborn stuff.

    Built in obsolesence
    By Aussi, Aussi, Aussi from Sydney Australia on 3/31/2008
    Pros:
    Easy To Use, Good Value, Works Great
    Cons:
    No Replacment Pads
    Best Uses:
    Every Once In A While
    Describe Yourself:
    Practical
    Bottom Line:
    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    The product works and should last for years but thanks to replacement pads being discontinued it doesn't. When the pads run out it becomes obsolete even though still in good working order. A perfect example of a throw away mentality with built in obsolescense that is presumably meant to sell more product. I'll be looking for something different that will continue to last - a pity really because the cleaner has been a good servant.

    My Allsop 51000 Radial Cleaner disintegrated! The foam under the cleaning pad melted in the cleaner fluid and left a gummy mess on my DVD.

     
    Great cleaner with no batteries to mess
    By Disco StuVerified Reviewer from Holland, Mi on 3/21/2007
    Pros:

    Best Uses:
    Every Once In A While
    Bottom Line:
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    As posted before, I also have owned Allsop's earlier version of this cleaner. It worked awesome! I also couldnt locate any replacement pads or cleaner so I chose to buy a compeating manufactuers cd radial cleaner that was for sale locally. Their all the same right? WRONG! The new one blew (left scrub rings on my dvds) so here I am --back at Allsops doorstep.

     
    But a cloth instead
    By MatVerified Reviewer from San Jose CA on 3/16/2007
    Cons:
    Did not clean very well, Doesn't Help, Easier to do manually
    Bottom Line:
    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Better to use cleaning fluid and a soft cloth. The machine was stiff to use and did not clean well.

    Easy to use and requires NO batteries!
    By Sterfry from Belmont, NC on 1/2/2007
    Pros:
    Dries Quickly, Easy To Use, Good Value, Works Great
    Best Uses:
    Every Once In A While

    I have an older model of the CD Radial Cleaner that I have used for the past 15 years. It works great and takes up very little space. It is always ready to use since it doesn't require batteries to operate. The new model is even better.

     
    Cleaner That Doesn't Clean
    By abc4426Verified Reviewer from Frederick, MD on 11/23/2006
    Cons:
    Flimsey construction, Junk, Just plain doesn't clean
    Best Uses:
    In the trash can

    To clean a not very dirty cd you must use the cleaner over and over. It appears that the cleaning surface doesn't meet the face of the CD very closely and consequently the finger smudges are not removed even after repeated uses. A microfiber cloth is far superior ( also easier and cheaper) for cleaning your CDs.

    CD Radial Cleaner by Allsop
    By Not Up to [...] StandardsVerified Purchaser from San Pedro, CA on 8/10/2006
    Pros:

    Pretty good, could use a second scrubber
    By NeutrinoVerified Purchaser from Seattle, WA on 5/15/2006
    Pros:
    Easy To Use, Good Value, Works Great
    Cons:
    should come with fluid
    Best Uses:

    Good product, nice motion. Could use a second scrubber-thing and it would be nice if it came with cleaning fluid.

     
    It does a good job
    By SusieVerified Purchaser from Bonney Lake, WA on 2/19/2006
    Pros:
    Doesn't leave streaks
    Cons:
    It doesn't turn the easiest

    I liked the results. I trust the name brand, but it needs a new handle for turning it and it needs to turn easier.

     
    Great Product - but need longer life.
    By BurnerBob from Atlanta, GA. on 1/25/2006
    Pros:
    Doesn't leave streaks, Easy to use, Fast
    Cons:
    Needs replaceable pads for longer usage, Product description need to state # uses
    Best Uses:
    Quick clean for all discs

    Product works as advertised - but need a couple of times using to get a handle on it.
