    Could not transfer old VHS tape images to digital (HD) without lots of "hash/snow" in the image. Sound quality was greatly diminished, too. Thought it would be impossible to find a VHS head cleaner, but Best Buy had them. Placed order online took advantage of Best Buy's "no contact" pick-up at their nearest store location. The head cleaner worked perfectly and I've successfully transferred 133 old VHS tapes to digital media!

    I have been looking for this head cleaner for my combo VCR/DVD player for awhile. Anyway, this works great for cleaning the VHS heads w/o having to open up the player. I have used this type of head cleaner for years and I am so happy Best Buy still carries it.

    VHS Head Cleaner Makes All The Difference

    It's 2020 so it's slightly amusing that I should be buying a VHS head cleaner at this late date. But after trying 3 different VCRs I had to do something if I was going to transfer some video to digital format. I put a few drops of fluid in the cleaner and inserted it into the VCR and let it run 20 seconds as directed. Took it out and inserted a VHS tape, adjusted the tracking and I was back in business.
