What our customer's say!

"Maxell VCR Head Cleaner", Maxell VCR dry head cleaner performed as advertised and restored picture and sound quality. The product is easy to use and the advertisments are not that annoying.

"just don't know", I don't know if it works or not....it didn't fix the problem with my VCR, probably the VCR is just old....so now, do I spend $200 on a machine that transfers my tapes to DVD??? ugh, I hate technology!!

"Premature Rating I Think", Haven't had it long enough to be certain. Seems to have helped for few videos I've watched.

"Excellent cleaning tape!", I use my VCR ALOT,and this product provides excellent cleaning every time.I have used this brand of cleaning tape for the past four years,and have never had a problem with damage to my VCR heads(unlike some other cleaning tapes apparantly.)I really reccomend this if you still have/use a VCR.

"Eeeehhhh....", I love how amazon pesters you for a review after a purchase. In this case, I can't really say for sure how this product is. I've used it once on a total of the 3 VCRs I own. I'm used to wet tapes vs. this dry, but my wet tape disappeared. My Panasonic VCR rarely, if ever, gives me grief - so I didn't notice any difference after cleaning. The cheapo VCR doesn't get used often anymore, so who knows?!?! The JVC VCR wasn't happy after being cleaned with this tape. It wasn't happy when I tried playing a tape of stuff I recorded off the TV using that VCR. It behaved better after letting it run awhile - and no, it wasn't that there was a problem with the tape. Also of note is that I don't play borrowed or rental VHS tapes in any of my VCRs, so they don't get funked up by those. I only play VHS tapes I own, or tapes I recorded on.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Don't know if it works well but I still like it because it is idiot proof!", I just can't fathom how a dry tape can clean all that well. I also wonder how this can clean the record heads being that it never has you press the record button (probably doesn't clean the record heads is my guess) However it is by far the simplest to use! Even my Mom could do it! That's got to be worth something. I think I'll give it to my Mom!

"Very Pleased", I was very pleased with this cleaner. It came in a timely manner and it worked. I have had problems with other products to clean my VCR but this one worked like a charm. I highly recommend it.

"It really works", It works clean and prefect. What else can be said but get it.

"I HAVE BEEN WEARING OUT THESE HELPFUL FRIENDS FOR YEARS", WHAT IT IS: AN EXCELLENT DRY VIDEO CLEANER THAT WON'T DAMAGE YOUR VCR

When you use a VCR, some of the tape is left as a residue on the heads of your machine. This Dry Cleaning tape will remove most of that residue, if you don't wait too long to start using the cleaning tape. That is, when the replay quality of your VCR seems to be degrading, use this cleaning tape at once, and you will probably avoid having the heads professionally cleaned at your expense.

You can use this cleaning tape at least 100 times, and there is no chemical or abrasive material that you need to add. There is also no damage done to your video or audio heads by using this dry cleaning tape that I have ever noticed. There are 6 cleanings on the cleaning tape before you get to the end. When you reach the end, simply rewind and you can use it 6 more times. The package includes a sticker you can attach to the tape and mark-off each time you rewind the tape so that you will have some idea of when you have used it over 100 times, which means you have rewound it 16 times. In my experience, unless you play alot of rental tapes, it will last long enough to be rewound about 40 times. When it is wearing out, it won't clean-up the picture as well, and you will see that the picture shown while the cleaning process is in progress has lines and distortions through it that don't clean-up as the cleaning process is completed.

WHAT IF IT DOESN'T QUITE DO THE JOB?

If this Dry "Maxell VP-100 Cleaning Tape" doesn't completely clean-up the sound and picture, you can also try to use a wet cleaning tape. Maxell makes a good one that is also available here at Amazon. Be advised however, that using a wet tape usually will hasten the wear of your audio [1st] and then your video heads, which means that your VCRs lifecycle will be shortened.

Generally, I have found that a wet tape is usually needed only after playing either rental tapes or very old tapes. Also, tapes that were exposed to things like cigarette smoke or dust, without having the dust jacket on the tape, will be more prone to degrading, and leaving a residue on your heads.

BOTTOM LINE: IT HAS WORKED WELL FOR ME FOR MORE THAN A DECADE

I have been using this exact product for as long as Maxell has made them, which is back around 1990. I have seen the format on the TV monitor display that is shown during the cleaning process change several times over the years, but the actual cleaning process, and results are exactly the same as they have been for over a decade. The bottom line is, I have worn out at least a dozen of these, and I plan to buy more, as long as I play some tapes. Whether or not we all use DVDs, there will still be some VHS tapes that we don't have on DVD. This product insures that they will be more playable, and that the VCR will probably still have a clear picture after we use it.
