Once you get a hang of getting the VHS-C tape in the adapter its very easy to use. I would search internet for a video of how it should look when the tape is in the adapter to make sure you have it correct. Once I figured that out...it worked fantastic to copy the tapes to my computer.

It seems that compared to a mechanical one that requires a battery, the ability of it to track the tape properly is greatly diminished. I tested my old adapter and other VHS tapes and they play fine in my VCR so this purchase was a wash and I will be ordering another adapter that requires a battery. My guess is that the battery operated adapter creates the necessary tension on the tape where as the adapter that is just hand powered does not. The image was very hard to see on multiple tapes I tried and also the sound was much lower.

I have tried without success to get the Maxell VHS-C cassettes to play when put in the adapter. It may be something I'm doing wrong, so I don't want to rate a product if the problem lies with me. We get the cassette into the adapter with some difficulty. When it does play it shuts down every minute or so,. We have the same result with two cassettes. The instructions seem pretty straight forward and we followed them, but continue to have the problem..

Good product, works well. Pretty pricey, but well worth it because it let us watch old home movies we hadn't seen in years!
