    I know this is old school, but this product worked well for me as I was in the process of converting several VHS tapes to DVD. The head cleaner did a good job of keeping my VCR head clean especially since I was using older and some used VHS tapes. I was able to get the job done sufficiently and efficiently!

    Found an old Panasonic VCR at Goodwill to transfer tapes to digital, however, the playback was less than perfect. I decided to try to clean the heads using the Insignia Video Head Cleaner. It was the one product that didn't cost a fortune and worked to clean the video heads. The playback improved 100%! I would recommend this product to anyone needing some help in improving their playback from VCR's. Definitely worth it!

    I couldn't use my VCR because it showed nothing but lines throughout the TV screen. I ran the cleaner once and now have a perfect and clear picture. Thanks Insignia!

    The fact that I need a VCR head cleaner in 2019 should tell you something. Welcome back to the thrilling days of yesteryear... analog baby. Your tech had moving parts that occasionally needed cleaning/lubrication after frequent use(or disuse in my case.)

    I haven't used my VCR in years and want to protect the tapes I'm going to play. I was so glad that Best Buy still carried a video head cleaner in their inventory. Of course the item worked fine and I am more confident of protecting the condition of my VHS tapes as I transfer them to digital.
