    Nice quality for the money. Glad to still be able to purchase a machine that still allows us to view our numerous old vhs tapes.

    Cannot comment on a product I have owned just a short time. Sure it runs great now, but for how long? Please read rating from people who've had it a while. They would be better fit to rate,

    I've had this machine for about a year and it is very dependable. Getting it initially connected to our home WIFI was not the easiest thing to do, but once it was done, we haven't had any issues. The one click, "Netflix" button is a great feature.

    The included directions were not clear enough to install VCR portion because of new terminology. We had to search online to find install diagrams and directions, then find additional cables, Once the item was properly installed it worked great!!

    I'm one of those "dinosaurs" who still has some VCRs and don't want to have to convert or replace them with DVDs. I was delighted to see that Best Buy still sells a combo player....and for just over $100, you can't beat it! It works -- and looks -- great.

    Needed a VCR for my large collection of video tapes. Could not find a stand alone VCR. My old one broke. This unit has tracking adjustment, which is good for playing old tapes.
