    This product definitely works well. Had no issues, although when you go to open the bottle, you have to use a push pin or something small enough to put a hole in the nozzle. I thought the bottle was dried out but it wasn’t. Just an FYI in case you’re confused like I was. Lol

    I still have many VHS tapes, but the VCR I have needed some maintenance. I bought the Best Buy Essentials VCR Video Head Cleaner as an economical way to improve function. There was a difference in picture quality, even though the VCR is 9 years old.

    I was skeptical about this actually making a differnce but thought I would give it a try. I could see a difference in picture quality immediately after using this. It took me awhile, however, to figure out where to put the drops...there's a little square at the bottom of the label..duh.

    I am digitizing all my old family videos. I was pretty lucky to find this head cleaner seems it was the last one at Best Buy. So if you’re planning ahead find and buy one.

    Gets the job done BUT: Not sure if this was just mine or an issue they all have but getting that little bottle open was harder than any breakup I've ever had. Get a paperclip and be ready
