5.0 out of 5 stars The only tape rewinder I'll ever use., May 25, 2000

I've had 2 other tape rewinders in the past, and both of them sounded awful, clacking and whirring away like they were shredding my tapes. Also, the lids often popped up before the rewinding was finished.
This one, though, just has a pleasant, gentle little hum and does what it's supposed to.
It's nice to see that a company actually put some effort into this invaluable but mundane necessity of every VCR owner.
And the price is right too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, reliable, quiet, what more could you want?, August 10, 2002

For the price this little rewinder is amazingly quiet. I've had it for a year now and it still has never given me any problems. Certain tapes will cause a little noise, but I think it's the tape, not the rewinder. For the most part this one hums very nicely and only pops up when it's either finished or encounters tape problems. I can't imagine paying more for any other model when this one works so well!

The Ambico tape rewinder was a gift to my mom since hers was dying after 15 + years of use. When she received the rewinder, the cover would not close and the tape rewinded the wrong way. I called the company and tried to explain the situation. The phone representative would hardly give me a chance to speak. She never apologized for the product's condition. I asked not to be charged for the shipping of the returned package. Her response was that any other company would expect me to pay for shipping the product back, that they are a small company and could not reimburse me for the shipping. Not only did I receive a product that doesn't work, I paid almost as much to get it shipped to my mother's, and was expected to pay for the shipping of the product back to Ambico. I'm wondering if I do, would they give the same broken down product to someone else? The customer service was horrible. What ever happened to good old fashioned customer service. This thing is going straight in the garbage. At least it won't cost me anymore money to do so.
