    sometimes we have family members that won't let go of the past, butt yet they want to join us in today's world, well if grandpa still wants to watch his massive vhs collection, butt when you visit you bring a dvd, well this one machine does the trick. It's cheap, plays dvd & vhs & so simple a grandparent can work it. Since grandpa won't throw out his old vhs library, he can at least join us in the 20th century & be able to play dvd's!

    It was easy to hook up and I can enjoy both my VHS tapes and DVD discs with the ease of pushing a button on which type I am watching. No need for separate players for my television.

    Connecting to the TV is easy enough, but then getting it to work is almost impossible even for the tech savvy. Very frustrating.

    Plays VHS tapes and DVDs fine. You have to have different connections for VHS and DVD, which I consider a serious drawback. It is not really 'unified,' the VHS and DVD are completely different control UIs through the remote. If you must have the low price, and don't mind the segregation, this deck does the job fine.
