CNET Editors' review
Revo Uninstaller adds some serious power to uninstalling programs, but not a lot of speed. It certainly runs circles around the default option in Windows. However, it's not the most convenient way to kick programs off of your hard drive. It tucks many of the best features behind a paywall, too.
Revo Uninstaller comes with the free trial, which lacks some of the high-end features of the pro version. Though it can delete some registry errors that usually come with deleting programs, it doesn't remove all of them. To do that, you need to upgrade or use a different program. Upgrading doesn't add any speed to this download, which is something it's sorely missing. It makes you wait until one program is finished to start uninstalling another. It's even more annoying since you have to go through each individual program's built-in uninstall process, too. Choosing programs to uninstall is easy and fast, though, thanks to the program's icon-oriented menu. There are plenty of options to tweak your uninstalls. You can choose from options that include a light uninstall or a deep cleaning that rips all traces of the program off of your hard drive. There's even a really neat "hunting" mode that lets you uninstall programs or kill tasks without fully loading the program.
Revo Uninstaller seems to be a very interesting mix of registry-cleaning and uninstall programs. Luckily, it does both of those actions well enough to earn a passing grade. If you really like the program, you might want to upgrade to the pro version. It's fairly priced and adds some essential features that aren't available in the free version.
Revo Uninstaller - Uninstall any unwanted or broken application - Download Video Previews:Publisher's Description
From VS Revo Group:
Revo Uninstaller is an innovative uninstaller. With its advanced and fast algorithm, Revo Uninstaller scans before and after you uninstall an application. After the program's regular uninstaller runs, you can remove additional unnecessary files, folders and registry keys that are usually left over on your computer. Even if you have a broken installation, Revo Uninstaller scans for an application's data on your hard disk drives and in the Windows registry and shows all found files, folders and registry items so you can delete them.
What's new in this version: Version 1.94 has fixed minor bugs.

"You will love this program!"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
If you love having your browser and searches hijacked, you will love this! My last review (and others)only lasted one day, so I guess Cnet pulls negative reviews and only keeps the glowing ones. Dishonest at best as to actual user reviews of this corrupted download. So good luck as you will have NO option not to get the crap with it!
Cons
Please see above.
-
"Been using this for years!"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
Always there, never given me any problems. Especially like that it deep-cleans, removing any remnants of uninstalled programs.
Cons
No gripes. They don't even bug you to update, plus it's ALWAYS 50% off if you decide to!
Summary
Ultra-confident in this program, never any issues!
-
"EXCELLENT UNINSTALLER"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
WORKS GOOD WHEN TEAMED WITH GLARY UTILITIES
Cons
NONE TO DATE
-
"Very good for addressing leftover bits"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
Fast, very good at presenting options.
Cons
None I've found.
Summary
I've used this for years, first on XP and now on Win7. I have had no problems at all, and plan to use this for as long as I can. The only problem for Revo is: I can't understand why I would want to upgrade to the "Pro" version. (Although come to think of it, I think I will, as a reward for creating a great free program that I've used many times.)
-
"No support for Revo Uninstaller Pro"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
It works great - until a system restore removes it.
Cons
Despite email after email, visiting them at their site, and trying a phone number I found, this company refuses to answer.
Summary
Use the freeware; do NOT buy the Pro version. Revo refuses to acknowledge purchase and ignores all communication.

"loved It until I got Windows Eight"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
This was a fantastic program when i had Vista. It kept my computer in great shape
Cons
Now that I have Windows 8 it won't work, get hung up all the time. I wish they would fix these issues for us Windows 8 users. Wish I knew what other program would work as good on windows 8. Any Ideas, out there, if so let me know. I'd really appreciate your help!
Summary
All in all I love Revo, just can't get it to work for windows 8. Otherwise you couldn't find a better program.

"Doesn't work with windows 8"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
None for windows 8
Cons
Just hangs up while scanning for leftovers
-
"windows own uninstaller better than revo:["
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
Seems thorough.
Cons
Revo only found 81 programs, your uninstaller 86, windows own uninstaller 119 and wise uninstaller 121. I have used revo for about a year now. But was frustrated that it wouldn't even list newly installed programs!!!!! So I searched and found wise uninstaller instead. It is so much better than revo and it finds all of my programs;]
Summary
Don't waste your time on this program. Choose e.g. wise instead and see for yourself what I mean.

"Revo Does Uninstalling Right!"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
Revo is quick and thorough; it does what Windows' add/remove does not - it removes all files and folders, and entries in the Registry.
Cons
I found none.
Summary
I recently upgraded a Windows 7 Home Premium installation to Windows 8 Pro and, as a result, decided to clean up the installation.
There were simply too many extra apps installed, all of which did similar things, like defragment the registry, update drivers, and more.
It became clear - because Win 8 Pro 32-bit is a resource hog - that I needed to clean up the PC in many ways.
I had used Revo Uninstaller in the past, and downloaded the latest version of the free-ware. The task of cleaning up began.
I found that Revo did exactly what I needed, as it removed all of each application, or suite's, files and folders; it went farther, by removing the Registry entries for each app or suite.
It is certainly worth trying this utility, as it does aid in your cleanup tasks.
