Summary: Dead out of the Box
Review: I looked forward to the usefulness of this product. When I plugged it in, I got no power light. After about 5 minutes, I pushed the start button and got power. The start button stayed pushed-in and I couldn't even open the unit door to put in a tape! The stop button was equally worthless. Too bad.

Review: If you think this item will be usefull to avoid wearing out camcorder for rewind, then please reconsider.

I tried my Kenyo KV-885 for the first time this morning. It continued to run in rewind mode after reaching the end of tape. You've heard a small electric motor bogg down I'm sure. That was the sound. The motor kept running.

I hit the stop button and then eject button to get the tape out. About 1 inch of tape segment was outside of the cassett. Yep it damaged the tape. Guess I am lucky it did't completely destroy the tape.

As a service to customers Amazon.com should remove this item from the catalog.

Summary: A must have for MiniDv Owners
Review: One of the problems with owning a miniDV camera is the wear and tear rewinding tapes have on the camera motor. An easy and inexpensive way around prematurely repairing or replacing your MiniDV camera is using a rewinder. This Kinyo is a very compact and reliable rewinder that is easily pulled out for use, and stored away when through.

Summary: Incredibly useless for what it is...
Review: You'd think they couldn't mess up something this simple. When I plugged it in, I got no power light. After fiddling with the power button for about 2 minutes,the light did come on, but the start button stayed pushed-in. This made it impossible to open the lid. The eject and stop buttons did absolutely nothing. I had to try my best to pry it open since I had a tape in there. I have no idea why it behaved like that but I have heard from others afterwards that it is a common problem. The company must have saved a bundle in engineering this product.
