    It's not as high tech and definitely not studio sound, but it's clear and easy to use.

    Great, easy-to-use recorder, and as long as USB file transfers aren't high on your list of must-haves (only output is analog 3.5mm jack), you'll be all set.

    An adequate digital recoder

    For $40, i wasn’t expecting to be overly impressed. And I’m not. This recorder feels flimsy, lightweight, and cheap—sort of like your kid sister’s Easy Bake oven. And while it records conversations adequately, I suspect it will not hold up to frequent use. Instructions packed with it were wholly inadequate, and the PDF of the full manual is only marginally better. There’s no way to get the recorded file off of the recorder and onto a better platform for playback. The tiny, cheesy buttons and cOntrols are set up counter-intuitively for most functions. In short, it’s adequate for occasional Use, but If you’re a professional who would be using this daily, spend a bit more for a better built and designed recorder.

    I actually got this to replace the old type recorder from twenty-five yrs. ago with tapes. I loved that and still prefer it. I'm still not sure of how to fully use this. If I'm not mistaken you can only have so many hours on it total and you must go through the whole taped voice to get to where you want to get to. Eh!!!
