I've always appreciated Maxell's quality, and now I finally have the ability to record 3 hours (9 in extended mode) at a time!

...

As a person who still uses a VCR, I love these Maxell 9-HR cassettes! I often record movies and sporting events on these videos. I can put at least 4 movies on them or a entire Final Four, and have enough room for another finals game. So if you are tired of spending your money on 6 or 8 hr videos get this you won't be disappointed.

THE TAPES ARE GREAT. AS I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THE US THAT STILL USES VHS.

It's really nice to know that one can still purchase this type of tape. And these are particularly good as they "hold" a lot of recordings.

There is no monthly fee to use a VCR. Not the most up to date technology yet certainly the cheapest. I rarely see VCR tapes in the stores and usually one product - no selection. I stocked up on 9 hour tapes and they work just fine as SLP. I rotate a set of 4 and they usually last over 1 year.

I also bought the dry cleaning tape. I never ever cleaned any VCR and did not know what to expect. It was easy as pie. Pop in the tape and follow the on screen directions. No fuss, no muss. Has many clean sessions for one tape.

Since the VCR is several years old I ran the cleaner twice. What an amazing difference. I now run it on a regular basis and the picture is clearer.
I recommend the tapes and dry cleaner. Stock up now.

They do what they do; high quality and long lasting(9hours), good for the use of alternative media in a pinch.

Only used tape a few times then it started playing back poorly.
Other tapes are working fine in VCR so it isn't the VCR

UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOOK MY SECURITY CAMERAS UP TO THE COMPUTER THESE WORK FINE. LONG ENOUGH TO COVER THE HOUSE WHILE I'M AT WORK.

I bought this blank tape to use in my VHS security camera/vcr to keep an eye on some low life neighbors. The tape worked perfectly since May, being recorded and erased on a continual daily basis. Recently, the left reel keeps locking up inside the cassette and the tape won't run in the vcr. I took the cassette apart and everything seems to look okay. But as soon as it is inserted into the vcr, it will not run. I checked the vcr and other tapes run fine, so I know there is something wrong with this tape. I am going to try another one and see if I can return this one to Maxell as they say they have a "limited" lifetime warranty on it.

Product was exactly as described and worked perfectly. I could not find a similar product locally (in Minnesota) so was happy to be able to order through Amazon.com. Delivery was on time as projected.
