I bought the stick for my 86-year-old mother, and she loves it. She even traded in the trusty mop handle she had been using (and I hated). The stick has a rubber tip on the bottom which greatly reduces the risk of slipping. The handle is a nice, molded grip. The top segment can be raised and locked into place. This joint stays locked, creating a taller stick. However, the one flaw I found was the lock on the bottom segment. It will not stay locked. Any pressure and the segment slides (telescopes) back into the larger segment. Very risky for an old woman, so we don’t use this lock. That aside, the stick is well made and my mother likes and uses it.

I don’t know if it works or not….it didn’t fix the problem with my VCR, probably the VCR is just old….so now, do I spend $200 on a machine that transfers my tapes to DVD??? ugh, I hate technology!!

Did not work too well with my other television that could not play VHS tapes

I love how amazon pesters you for a review after a purchase. In this case, I can’t really say for sure how this product is. I’ve used it once on a total of the 3 VCRs I own. I’m used to wet tapes vs. this dry, but my wet tape disappeared. My Panasonic VCR rarely, if ever, gives me grief – so I didn’t notice any difference after cleaning. The cheapo VCR doesn’t get used often anymore, so who knows?!?! The JVC VCR wasn’t happy after being cleaned with this tape. It wasn’t happy when I tried playing a tape of stuff I recorded off the TV using that VCR. It behaved better after letting it run awhile – and no, it wasn’t that there was a problem with the tape. Also of note is that I don’t play borrowed or rental VHS tapes in any of my VCRs, so they don’t get funked up by those. I only play VHS tapes I own, or tapes I recorded on.

Haven’t had it long enough to be certain. Seems to have helped for few videos I’ve watched.
