Maxell 214150 T120GX/8PK VHS Cassette Standard Grade T-120, 6 Hour - 8 Pack

I have a DVR, but I rely primarily on my VCRs that are working just fine. Tapes have beome more difficult to find, so I tend to get them when I can. I don't have any complaints about this product. Every now and then, a tape is just not watchable in the VCR I use most, but (so far) the problem has been resolved by using a different VCR. While the problem is not consistent, it could be the VCR and not the tape. In any event, I don't have any reason not to recommend this product. The price is reasonable and there aren't a lot of options for us dinosaurs.

We still like using our VCR and to be able to still find them is great.

I know that in today's world of immediate display or viewing that VHS tapes are from the past. I for one still have a VHS/DVD player because a lot of our kids movies are on VHS. I looked high and low at all the stores in my Colorado area but I could not find any tapes. Well Amazon came through for me once again and this was a Great Purchase. These tapes work great but you need to have a VHS machine with a built in antenna or they won't play. They record but when you try to play them back they will not play. I had to get a Homeworx digital converter to get them to play. I am still on the hunt for an old fashioned VHS Recorder Player that will work for me. Thanks Amazon for at least having the tapes I need.

This was good as I record many shows from TCM and my streaming devices. I like to get the most by using SLP speed together six hours. Currently I counted over 650 tapes with labels of contents I created. Thief item filled the bill. But Amazon's recent switch to firms which charge for shipping instead of the free shipping from my premium account has me buying tapes at Walmart again as the price and an extra 5 bucks to ship it to me will go over the 12.97 for a five pack.

I'm not quite into the 21st century - yet, it takes me awhile. I do have a DVD player and a new VCR/DVD that records on both CDs and tapes. I have used Maxell primarily since way back when, and I have never experienced any problems. Some tapes are ancient and I still use/watch them. I am so afraid that any minute now they will cease making cassette tapes, so I am buying more now. These standard tapes do a great job and are very clear.

I have been ordering this item for over 6 months, once, sometimes twice a month. In that time, I had maybe two or three defective tapes. This last shipment, the tapes had obviously being re-packaged (poorly, I might say) and closed with mailing tape. I assumed some kind of quality control had been done. Boy, was I wrong. 4 of the 8 tapes were defective (plastic case crushed in corner, or broken lid, and in one case, tape loose and off the spool.) Our nearest post office is over 5 miles away, and so is UPS. UPS will not pick up from my residence unless I am present to hand it to them. So, the nuisance value of a return makes this just not worth it. Beware buyers... you may be buying garbage. Plus, the item description says "NEW", and in this case, it obviously was NOT TRUE!!! What a disappointment in Amazon. I have thought they were better than that.

This product was delivered in original packaging, within the scheduled delivery time. I've used these cassettes for years, and they always perform well. But, as with any analog tapes, they do eventually stretch out and distort, requiring periodic replacement. I use these cassettes for time-shifting and everyday recordings. There are better brands for archival recordings, but this does not concern me. Blank VHS tapes are for me a consumable product, and these do just fine for everyday recordings.

I am using the VHS tapes for old movies and events that I want to hang on to. It is nice that VHS tapes are still available for sale. I may be an electronic dinosaur in wanting them, but the tapes to hold up; and the memories are nice to enjoy.

The person I sent the product to is very please with it. Stated that the taping quality is excellent

Maxwell tapes are the only ones that are consistently reliable.I have used others, ie: Fuji and they either "jumped" or wore out quickly.

Great product and service.
