    Seems to have worked fine. This best thing about this product is that it's available. Not many people still use VCRs.

    I was totally amazed to be able to find a VHS Head Cleaner for my VCR! I should have known that Bust Buy would have one!

    Did the trick. Just have to be patient and let it run several times. Went from fuzzy to clear eventually.

    After digitizing hundreds of hours of old tapes, output became noticeably noisy and lost tracking. One use of this cleaner did the job perfectly

    When VCRs are basically obsolete, it is more and more difficult to find one of these, but it was available and did the trick!

    Worked well and bought this last year. Late to review but if VHS were to come back, this is a must.

    We have several old VCR classic movies. Our grandchildren loved to watch them. The VCR needed to be cleaned. We tried this and wow it did the trick

    I still use my "old time" VCR and it is essential that I have & use the video head cleaner. Best Buy is the ONLY store that carried this item.

    I'm still "old-school" with lots of VHS movies I don't yet have on DVD. Wanted to be sure and keep the unit cleaned and hopefully, by being cleaner, to prolong the live of tapes.

    I think that my machine is a little hostile to this product. Every time I use it, the paper inside the tape needs to be tightened. Can't tell if it's my machine or if the tape itself is not well made. I'm still happy to have this product, though, because clean heads on a VHS player is a MUST.

    Do you still have a VCR?

    If you still have a VCR this head cleaner works as advertised to clean the heads/rollers/capstans/mechanical nick nacks in your machine.
