Never use those low end ones. They do not remove scratches very well and sometimes ruin the planarity of the CD.
A good machine which really does a stellar job at removing almost any kind of scratch costs around 5000.

I just recently purchased the jfj machine and its works great. Those cheap one just aren't worth the money. FYI the jfj machine cost me around 200
segamer:
This is the machine I bought; a disc-go-devil. It works great and was only $1000.
TDIRunner:
For about half a second, I thought that was a modified GameCube. :P
I didn't realize those things cost that much. That's a long payback period considering that the stores around here only charge a few bucks to run discs through them. Although, if you did half a dozen a day for a year, you could get there reasonably quick.

90% of stores use the JFJ ones anymore, they're much cheaper (Sub-200 for most models). There's some skill involved in cleaning the disks too and knowing when you can use a sanding disk. Just make sure you don't run a game on it too long or it'll heat and warp; the more aggressive you are, the faster it heats.
