Well - Your guess is as good as mine - but my VCR machines are so worn out that keeping them clean is top priority. So for now (knock on wood) everything seems to be OK, by tossing the tapes that cause the problem.
So in closing - I've already ordered another - sure I would rather buy something else - but CLEANING is cleaning. Sometimes in life you gotta learn to live with a problem (you know what I mean jellybean).
Yes - most everything (can) happen that people have said. The worst of it all is when the tape comes out of the "VCR tape" because it rewinds so fast (or strong).
But what I do, is throw away any tape that causes me problems - granted I very seldom need to rewind "movie" tapes (I belong to Netflix). But all I can say is - it CLEANS the tapes - how well.
I don't throw those tapes away - I just hope it doesn't happen again and mix the tape back in with all the others (and wait and see).
So far the Kinyo rewinder has preformed the best. Very fast with slowing when getting close to the end when either ff or rewinding. Also very quite when winding tape, also cleans while rewinding. There are a lot of rewinders out there. I have tried several of them. It also includes 2 extra spools for cleaning for when the first one wears out.
The directions were worthless. But I continued to use it and now I am glad that I bought it. When I first received this product, I waasn't sure how it worked and so I was ready to send it back. I use it every time I need to rewind a tape.
Sometimes (more often then not) it rewinds to far and you have to rewind the overwind. STRONG rewind on this product. Bought two at the same time, If I had to do it over again I would have bought another kind.
There were several available. I selected the Kinyo UV-230C 2-Way VHS Cassette Rewinder and Cleaner for purchase, I received it and have used the product several times. I have several containers of VHS tapes that I like to look at occasionally, but do not like having to rewind them in my VCR/DVD player, so I decided to check Amazon.com to see if a VHS tape rewinder was available. I am very satisfied with this product.
