Reshow VHS Video Head Cleaner for VHS/VCR Players Dry Technology No Fluid Required Reusable 30 Times

I bought this product, as i found an old JVC VHS recorder in my parents garage, during a clear out. Out of morbid curiosity, i wanted to see if this unit still worked, even though it was caked in a couple of decades of garage crud and mouse dropping were found inside. As part of the clean up i wanted to clean the heads. But thinking that the VHS unit was beyond dead i didn't want to spend too much on a head cleaner. Nor did i want the faff of using the liquid cleaner process. So this was bought with little of hope of it actually working. After getting a vacuum and air duster in the unit to clean it out, i tried a VHS tape to see if anything would appear on the screen. All I could hear was sound, that was muffled and warbled, there was no image on the screen. I popped in the cleaning tape, let it run to the end, swapped it out with the normal tape and there was an improvement. The sound was clear, but still no images. All in all, i used the head cleaner 8 times to get to a point where sound was clear and the image was stable, without any distortions. So a great value product that does work well. It just depends on how dirty the heads are, but you will see improvement.

Worked as described. One run cleaned the dirt from the tape head and now plays without any issue.

Very good 👍

Did not work. I bought this to repair a faulty VHS player, but after using it the video quality is not only worse and fuzzier but the audio is messed up too. There was almost no dirt on the tape reel inside the case and I can only assume that instead of removing it, the thing just managed to smear it around on the heads.

Yes works great

Very useful and easy to use vhs head cleaner. I enjoyed watching my old video tapes and reflect on those good old days

I ran this though an ancient Alba VHS recorder. When it got to the end is locked solid and wouldn't rewind. Thanks to another review I found that there is a small hole in the centre of the case near the bottom with a hinged flag inside. On pushing a spike into this I was able to rewind the tape by hand. Repeated this process 4 times but didn't observe any improvement in picture quality. I assume that means the heads are as clean as they can possibly be (I did pull apart the recorder a few years ago and clean everything with isopropyl alcohol). I have just bought another VHS recorder from EBay so will try this cleaner with that and see if I can detect any difference.

Very goog customer support. 1st one arrived promptly but wouldn't work. I emailed link4customers and a replacement was sent out without quibble. This one works. That's good customer service. 4 stars - not 5, to reflect that one product didn't work

qualité du produit

Der Videorekorder läuft nach der Reinigung wieder einwandfrei. Kann ich nur empfehlen

utilisée sur un vieux magnetoscope avec une faible efficacité mais difficile de faire la part des choses entre la cassette et l'état du magnetoscope lui-même
