    For those who still use a VCR like my dad, this is very useful for keeping your player working.

    The Insignia head cleaner works great to clean old VCRs. The cleaner is becoming hard to find nowadays. A good price for what it is designed for.

    Restored an old VCR to working order!

    I wanted to salvage and digitize a wedding video for a friend. I pulled my VHS VCR out of storage but it just wouldn't play the tape. I checked Best Buy and was surprised to see VHS head cleaners were even still available so picked this one up, did a few cleaning cycles with it, and BAM! It then played the tape as well as could be expected for a VHS tape recorded at SP in 1991! This cleaner saved my old VCR, my friend's wedding video, and put me in a good position to salvage several other old VHS videos as well while I was all setup to do it. I marked it down a star because the cleaning cycle seems really short so I had to run it through several times to achieve any meaningful cleaning. It worked though -- the smudge left behind on the cleaning material was visually obvious.

    Worked three times. On the fourth use it caused the VCR to violently shut itself down. Multiple tries to get it to work failed.

    The cleaner does not rewind after it is used and heads did not seem to be cleaner.

    I don't think Best Buy made this at all

    This VHS head cleaner got dirty so easily that it couldn't clean my VCRs anymore but make them more dirty. I only had this for about 3 weeks and when I no longer could use it, I smashed it. I don't think Best Buy made this product. I'd rather buy head cleaners online.
