On the positive side, the transcriber was delivered quickly. Packaging was very good, with all of the required accessories that was advertised. The size was perfect as a spacesaver, and it looked very contemporary and professional. However, the counter is extremely small. You would need a magnifying glass to read the counter. Also, when the foot pedal is pressed either to go forward or backward, there is a loud, annoying sound. I tried to transcribe a short tape, but the loud sound whenever the pedal was pressed, was just too aggravating. Due to time constraints and an extremely busy schedule, I was unable to return the transcriber. Overall, the transcriber lives up to SONY's reputation as far as performance is concerned, however, I was very disappointed with the foot pedal. I went back to using my old transcriber (not a SONY).

This is ok for the price, but there is no erase feature and so I have to use an older transcriber to erase tapes. The cassette compartment does not always open properly and I have to work with it to make it open. I realize that most transcribers are digital and this is still a cassette, but my boss is old school and does not use anything digital. Overall not as good as my older one that finally quit after several years.

I used an older Sony machine prior to purchasing this one. While it's nice that it's smaller, it only gives you 3 options for reverse time (and none are right for what I'm used to) and it doesn't have the ability to erase a tape when you're done. It also does not have an on/off switch. It goes on when you hit the foot pedal.

This is just what I was looking for and works perfectly. I found it difficult to find elsewhere.

I was looking for something that was simple to assemble and use. This product met and exceeded that expectation. The sound quality and function are perfect. I made a great choice with this purchase.

As the Purchasing Agent for a Government entity in South Florida, I find often the products I purchase from Amazon are some of the best on the market at a competitive price.

The Transcribing machine worked great and my end users requested this model by name.

I was having trouble with another product I found on line and it left me somewhat afraid to buy anything else but I needed this equipment so I could work. I emailed Dave, the owner, and asked if I could call him. I think he was hesitant but said yes. After I called him and relayed my past bad situation, he understood and actually he mailed it to me, at his cost, overnight so I could get back to work quickly. He was very nice and the transaction went very smooth. Dave did go out of his way for me and I will always appreciate that. I will always give him a 5 star rating.

Was leary of purchasing a refurbished item, but am VERY pleased. They shipped the same day I placed the order and I received it 2 days later w/o paying for special shipping.

This was my first order with Amazon and I have to say that it was truly a delightful experience. My product came sooner than expected and it was in perfect condition. It was a hard to find item so I am glad that I was able to purchase it at a reasonable price and in excellent condition. Thank you!

I like this transcriber because it does not have an erase button so no accidentially erasing the boss's dictation!!! :)
