HALLOA VHS Video Tape Cleaner - Black - 2E+1 Hours - Cleaning System

Bought for renovating our 20+ year old VHS recorder so we could watch / download old tapes. Cleaned the heads up perfectly.

Posted through letterbox hitting tiled floor.Not well packaged and tape flap broke away, removed tape flap completely and worked fine.Would of returned as damaged but needed to clean heads urgently.

Not the same package as the photo of what I ordered, but is priced sensibly and actually cleans the heads etc quite well and simply

It did the job as far as I can remember

Video did not play tapes two years ago. Not been used since. Cleaned the heads with this product, put tape in, and after a short time picture came back great and stereo sound. All good, very happy.

Did some research on this before purchasing and opted for it based on the ratings. Unfortunately it didn't work in my VCR, was throwing out loads of errors. Would load but not Play, Fast Forward or Rewind.I think the poor manufacturing process means that the cleaning tape inside is too slack, the mechanisms too loose and overall build quality is pretty bad.Luckily not a huge amount of money, I'm using a Sony SLV-SE300 which has a degree of intelligence in it I'm led to believe from researching the error codes. Beware that it may not work with your system. I'm opting to do the cleaning in the old fashioned way by using the cleaning solution and cotton buds on the heads after opening up so the fluid at least comes in useful (if you have Isopropyl Alcohol handy then this can do the job).

The media could not be loaded.

This product cleaned the heads of an old little used vhs player which I was using to digitise my old home videos. At first it didn’t seem to be working but after a couple of attempts the quality of the image was improved.
