    Used this for small projects and interviews. Not bad as the noise reduction is good and the recordings are easy to do. I may buy again as storage is good too.

    Great quality recorder. Only thing I don't like is that you have to hold the slider up or down to turn it on or off. This is new in this model of this recorder. Still a great recorder.

    I had bought this to replace a cassette recorder that I had for many years. I planned on using it with a telephone pickup to record business phone calls on my home phone. It did not preform. After recording, I had to turn the volume all the way up during playback, and still could barely hear what had been recorded. Also, I knew this did not have a USB port to transfer files to a computer, but this was not a deal breaker. I did returned it to Best buy for a refund. Otherwise this is probably a descent recorder, but you can use a smart phone to do the same basic recording.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    We purchased this for my husband so he could record some important conversations without having to take notes and to be able to re-listen to the conversation. Device is simple yet effective.

    This has been a life saver for me. I think of a lot of things that I need to do when I don't have the opportunity or availability of pen and paper. I just whip this out, press record and start talking. This is actually my second one. I had the first one about 15 years and finally wore the buttons out. I wouldn't leave home without it.

    Excellent for the price. I didn't need fancy features like the ability to connect to a computer through usb or save to micro sd card. What it does, it does well. Easy to use even without the manual.

    As previously reviewed, it records clearly despite a little bit away from the source of sound. A little bit confusing to use the features. Otherwise, I am satisfied with my purchase.
