Review on πŸ“Ό IMATION T-160HSS3 Tape Deck: Convenient Pack of 3 for Maximum Performance by Jason Dahlkemper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Old technology that still works

I'm one of those people who still likes to record TV shows onto VHS tapes to watch later. I don't save shows, I overwrite them. That's why I bought this product. My last VCR (Panasonic PV-V4022, which I still own but don't use anymore) had an LP function. I could get four hours out of a typical two hour tape. Well my current DVD/VCR combo has no LP and when I record to tape in extended play mode or SLP function the picture quality degrades. So I have to use the default game or the SP feature. So if I'm recording a two-hour show or two one-hour shows, a two-hour recording isn't practical because I start the show a minute before and end a minute later to make sure I understand everything. This tape is perfect for my needs as I get over two and a half hours of tape work at standard speed. So I'm satisfied with the product. As for the TDK brand, I've used that brand in the past and the tape has lasted a long time. I still have a TDK cartridge that I've kept for many years. The price was good too, less than $10 for three tapes. I used Super Saver again with free shipping and received the product on time. Nice job and thanks.
