### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Product Works Great On VCR's & Camcorders with tapes
*by W***9 on March 23, 2019*

I like the product very much it works well on VCR's and VHS, Mini DV Tape Camcorders.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for our old reel-to-reel decks...
*by K***L on February 16, 2021*

I've had my Technics deck since around 1980 and try hard to maintain cleanliness of the heads, rollers and guides, and this product does a good job of cleaning them. Well, not the rollers, those need a separate cleaner for the rubber, but on the heads and stainless guides, nice. A little goes a long way so this should last someone a long time before needing to replace.
