I give this 1 star because I cannot give it a negative number. We have one rather-new VCR left (after having had many), and I was using it to copy our old, important family tapes onto a hard drive to digitize them, make DVDs, and have them in a permanent medium. I got about halfway through when I was noticing the streaking of dirty heads. Not having any of our old head cleaning tapes left, I ordered this one from a company I used to trust for what I expected to be a one-time use. This is an S-VHS machine and the four tapes I was copying are a mix of S-VHS and regular VHS.
