My previous VHS head cleaner is still better than this one. This VP-100 Dry VHS head cleaner made no difference at all on two different VHS players. Thank you.

Il prodotto non funziona, è finto. Ha un nastro cortissimo, non gira e ha danneggiato il meccanismo del videoregistratore. Non ho avuto neanche la forza di reclamare.

A VHS movie I planned to watch with my grandson gummed up the heads of the player so I ordered this dry tape head cleaner. It arrived less than a week after I ordered it. I unpackaged the Dry Tape Head Cleaner, put it into the machine and put it through 2 cycles, for good measure. Then I tried a VHS movie and it worked - the heads of the VHS player had been cleaned. The product worked as exactly as claimed.

I'm writing this product review almost a year after I ordered and received 3 (new) Maxell VP-100 Dry Video Head Cleaning tapes. I've kept my vhs heads clean by using just one of these, since May of 2013 until now (March 1, 2014.) The Maxell head cleaning tape I've been using is the only one of the three (new tapes) that has the old/original package design of the VP-100 tape -- and it has worked fine. The other two tapes have a new package design -- and neither of these tapes work AT ALL; in fact, each of these tapes would actually jamb my vhs tape player to where it would turn itself off. I fiddled with both of these tapes for several minutes, trying to get them to advance, by advancing the tape by hand and attempting to play with fast forward, and also rewinding -- but NO GO!!!! These tapes WILL NOT WORK, AT ALL!! The b*tch of it is that, since I got the order 9-10 months ago, I can't return the faulty tapes for credit or replacement. So I have to bite the big one on these two tapes purchased from Amazon fulfillment. (And while I'm not certain -- because I no longer have the packing slips from the shipment -- it seems that the one good, working tape (with the old package design) came from an independent seller on Amazon marketplace, while the two faulty ones came directly from Amazon fulfillment. )So, BEWARE if you order any of these new Maxell VP-100 model head-cleaning tapes. They could be faulty.And just for the record: I've used Maxell VP-100 Dry head-cleaning tapes for more than ten years prior to this order, and been pleased with the results (I'd give it 4 stars overall; they quit being effective quite a lot earlier than the 100 cleanings touted by their marketing. but overall they did a pretty good job.) But these new ones suck (well, it's actually more like that they give my vhs player a fatal wedgie.)

We recently had one VCR break down, then the picture went out on my other VCR. I was rather disappointed since it is difficult to find them these days, especially not connected to a DVD player (which we also have 2 of, so I don't need any more). We decided to try cleaning it see if that would fix the problem. This is the first trouble we have had with this VCR in 10 years. When I received the tape cleaner, I put it in and it jammed at first, but I also had some issues with the VCR spitting the tape right back out and shutting off. So I restarted the VCR and played the tape. Seconds later, everything was back to normal - better even. It was quick and easy. I did tighten the tape up before replaying it the second time (after it jammed) because I think the shipping may have jostled the tape a bit and I think that is why it jammed. It worked great and it sure beat having to replace the VCR. I would suggest checking to see if the tape has unwound a little before putting it in, though. It seems like several people stated that it jammed when they started it and I'm wondering if it is just prone to having a loose tape. I'm a very contented customer, though.

The Maxell VP-100 VHS Dry Tape Video Head Cleaner did a great job in just seconds - less time than it said on the package. The video tape machine stopped running and produced a screen message that said the video heads needed to be cleaned. Knowing Maxell was a well-known brand name, I selected the dry head cleaner - not much to lose if it didn't work! I placed the cleaning tape in the machine and it stopped in about 15 seconds. I put a video tape in the machine and it ran great.

I have found that the Maxell vp- 100 VHS dry head cleaner , cleans my vcr tape heads very well I bought my first one about two years ago, [ have 4 vcr machines] ,from time to time the heads become fouled with dust , stuff, and the picture on tv is all fussy, I pop in the maxell , it does its thing for about 40 seconds, then tells me we are done, I take it out and put the movie tape back in , and sure enough back to great picture quality , I just bought two more of the cleaning tapes , to keep on hand . I am very happy with the results , good product

This was delivered promptly and intact. It probably works great but it did not resolve my issues. I still have snow on my screen whenever I play a tape and I now think that I either have to purchase a new machine or get this one repaired. I can't make a 100% recommend for this product because I have other issues. I thought I only needed to clean my tape heads but it turns out that the problem is more complex.

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.
