Recently, I've been going through all of the stuff I have on VHS like weddings and home movies, and recording them to DVD. Last week all of the old tapes stopped playing so I figured the inside of my VCR was probably dirty. I looked for a tape to clean it with on Best Buy's website and I'm glad I found this video head cleaner. After following the directions on the box and playing the tape for 20 seconds, now all of my tapes play just fine. This product saved me time of trying to find someone with a VCR that I could borrow. Now I can continue recording my priceless memories to DVD.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Everything
The sprockets are so loose that they will not turn. Put it in the player and it won't play, it won't move. Tried several times to get it to work and it doesn't. Tried on 3 different VCRs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this product in hopes that it would help the quality that was coming from my VCR as I was converting VHS tapes to DVD however it wouldn't even run to clean the heads. Save your money, and don't purchase this product.

What's great about it: Very easy to use and worked the first time
I, too, had old video tapes from the early 90's that I started watching again. Both VCR's that I used were unwatchable after the first couple hours. I followed the directions on the head cleaner tape and after a few moments the VCR's were like new.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: The product is very simple to use and highly effective. Would recommend to others.
What's not so great: Not the cheapest of its class.
CleanDR is just that, a product that provides the medical care your VCR needs to get too full health. When I purchased a recent batch of VHS tapes(used) the picture was not that good. I thought it was the tapes, but after using the good DR. my picture was restored and all was good in the world. I would defiantly recommend this item to anyone in need of a good head cleaner.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Economical, available, ship to store so I did not pay for shipping & fast service
What's not so great: nothing believe it or not
I could not a VHS head cleaner anywhere in town so the first place I thought of on-line was Best Buys b/c they have been so helpful in the past. The fact that i did not have to pay shipping, which could almost be the cost of the item, sealed the deal. It was ready for p/u within 48 hours. I went directly to customer service and out the door in under 10 minutes. One more happy, satisfied customer.
I would recommend this to a friend!
