I bought this recorder so that I could record lectures of my college classes that were harder. You get like 13 hours of playtime when you record on SP which is the best quality. I made a mistake and recorded on LP once and it sounded bad. I could understand it but there were times that there was too much static that I couldn't. The quality of SP though gives you plenty of recording time and it sounds as if you are in the room still. The overall recorder is small and you can plug headphones into it so you can take it on the go to listen. There isn't a USB port though so you can't plug it into the computer to transfer files but with all the recording time it makes it easier to just keep it on the recorder. I am very happy with my purchase.

I ordered this to go ghost hunting. I am new at this so did'nt want to invest alot right now. I am very pleased with this little recorder, it has files to store your recording in and numbered playback so you can go right to something you want to listen to again. I am ordering an external mic for this to get a little more clarity.
As the title implies, it is not a $300 recorder but it works wonderful for the price. No regrets

I've done three interviews with this recorder, one with an external mic, and the results have been nothing but horrible. Unless I'm speaking with the recorder a few inches from my mouth, it's garbled. If you're recording yourself and are willing to have the recorder in your face, it's fine. Otherwise, don't waste your money.

I have been very plesed with my digital voice recorder. For the price, it is a great purchase. I especially like the fact that it's lightweight and small. The sound of the recording is very clear, and it is easy to operate. I would highly recommend it.

I bought this recorder as my Dr. wants me to do some daily logs and I don't want to carry around a pen and paper all day. So, I did not need a professional type recorder.., but I did need one that would do the following:

1) Be small and compact, fit into my purse.
2) Be easy to use.
3) Playback clearly enough for me to understand.
4) Record several messages, one after the other.
5) Have an hour or more of recording space.
6) Have an option to easily delete any one or more of the messages.
7) Have the ability to listen to a message in the middle without having to hear every message before it. And also be able to play a message over without having to listen to the rest of the messages that were after it. (My voice mail does that and I hate it.)

It does everything on that list. It runs off two AAA batteries. It's so easy to figure out that I didn't even need to open the instructions to figure out how to use it.

I've used it for a few days and I don't see anything negative at this point. It has a "hold" mode so you can save the batteries. It also has a time stamp feature.

If you need to tape long lectures from someone who is far away from the device you should consider buying a more expensive type of recorder.., that's not what this type is designed for. It may work, but if the sound quality you are recording is poor or echoed, and you're using the lower quality recording mode, (for more time), you might have a hard time hearing it when you play it back.

This is an excellent recorder for the price. Simply to operate, no needless fancy options or functions. Just the basics.

This is the perfect size, not intimidating. In fact, it's out of sight, out of mind but still making recording reading assessments easy.

Just received the recorder two days ago. It was very easy to use. I didn't even read the manual and was able to figure everything out by playing with. A recorder is only valuable if the quality of sound captured is acceptable.
From all the recordings i have made in the past two days only those when i am at home and completely quiet is when i get a semi-acceptable sound. While driving i stopped at red light and started recording a few lines, all the sound came back muffled and with echo. It is a terrible recorder regardless of the ease of use.
Another negative aspect of this item is that you can't download your sound files to your computer. Buyer beware. Don't fall for its looks !!!

THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE GADGET. IT DEPENDS ON YOUR NEEDS WHETHER OR NOT IT WILL SERVE THE PURPOSE. IT COULD NOT PICK UP THE SOUND THAT I NEEDED TO PICK UP. HOWEVER, IT DOES PICK UP VOICES- FAIRLY CLEARLY. THAT SAID, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO RECORD AND THERE IS ANY OTHER BACKGROUND CONVERSATIONS OR SOUND , IT IS POSSIBLE YOU WON'T RECORD WHAT YOU NEED. IT IS QUALITY MADE, SMALL, AND VERY EASY TO USE.

I bought this little voice recorder for a college class. I had read a review that said the sound quality was poor unless you were face to face with someone, but thought since my classroom is small with only a few people that the recording sound would not be a problem. I sit in the front row in the center of the room, directly in front of the lecturer, and still can barely hear the play back recording, even using earphones. Not worth the 20 bucks, very disappointed.
