  Strengths: Efficient, easy to use

  Weaknesses:N/A

  Overall Evaluation: My JVC MiniDV has been used for > 6 months since I bought it last year. The video started to become blur. I got this cleaner from Circuit City days ago and tried it. The video went back to clear. It's easy to use. And it's efficient. No complaint. Will recommend to anyone.

  Strengths: It can be used as many as 40 times

  Weaknesses:None

  Overall Evaluation: This minidv head cleaner is a dry type and easy to use. It only takes about 10 seconds to clean the head of the dv every time. This cleaner can be used as many as forty times, that is worth the money. However, it can not be rewound.

  Strengths: Maxell seems to be a high quality brand

  Weaknesses:Seems expensive for what it is

  Overall Evaluation: What prompted me to buy this Maxell MDV/HC1 mini-DV camcorder head cleaner was that my Canon ZR200 tape mechanism stuck for some unknown reason.I contacted Canon tech support and they told me it was common for tape heads to become stuck after changing from one brand of tape to another (apparently, some tapes use a dry lubricant, while others use a wet lubricant, and when they combine, they congeal and can freeze the camcorder tape mechanism).I had always used Maxell tapes, so this wasn't my problem. Luckily, problem eventually resolved itself, but I bought this tape head cleaner just in case.

  Strengths: none

  Weaknesses:none

  Overall Evaluation: Hard to tell if this product does its job, at least for me. I was having problems with my year old camcorder, and thought this might fix it. Unfortunately, it did not help at all. So, it may not have cleaned it at all, and if it did that must've not been the problem. I will be keeping this though for future use (not worth returning) to test it out after my unit has come back from repair.
