    This worked absolutely perfect. I purchased a dry head cleaner off of Amazon first and it did absolutely nothing, but two rounds with this one and my VCR is working perfectly!

    I am transferring old home movies using a capture card, and a VCR. Definitely cleaned the heads really well and picture looks as good as it could be.

    Used the head cleaner on 2 used VCRs I picked up recently. Seemed to work well enough. Tested out a few tapes, which played fine.

    This gets the job done. My VCR was so dirty that there was static all throughout the movie. Now it’s crystal clear picture and audio.

    So it is hard to find a VCR cleaner in stores anymore so when I saw this one I was excited. I bought this as open box thinking I get a good deal. Wrong! When I inserted the cleaning tape in the VCR, the reels on the tape would not move. I ejected it and it turns out the cartridge was jammed. I can see why this was returned. I am also very lucky that this didn't destroy my VCR in the process.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I want to reassure you that this is an isolated issue, and we will definitely take note of this to ensure that it doesn't happen again in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your feedback.

    The head cleaner is easy to use. Just open the liquid container with a paper clip before the first use. A cap is provided for future use.
