    One thing I've learned about VCR Cleaner Tapes is that some VCR's can't handle the wet ones, but for the ones that do, Best Buy's Official Brand doesn't disappoint. I would also love for them to make Dry Cleaner Tapes as well in the future.

    VHS tapes I've been recording and playing back on my many-year-old VCR (which I'm embarrassed to say I still use) were getting a bit "glitchy". After using the cleaner, the video improved. It was easy to use.
