2.0 out of 5 stars Works very well while it works., January 14, 2004

By A Customer

I have worked with quite a few of these transcribers over the years and this would be my least favorite. It works well for a while, but then the rewind and fast forward goes out on the foot pedal and then goes out on the machine itself. Normally transcribers last longer than these seem to. A co-worker has gone through 4 of them in 2 years. We keep asking administration to switch to a different brand, but they say these are cheaper. You get what you pay for, I guess.

3.0 out of 5 stars not so good, January 15, 2008

By	Christy A. Knight "Chrisgma" (Cadillac, MI, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I do tape transciptions at home for doctors' offices. My previous Panasonic 930 worked fine and I finally wore it out. I purchased another model 930. However, this new one emits a very high-pitched squealing sound which may or may not stop when I eject the tape or tap the foot pedal. Slows me down and hurts my ears through the earphones. I will be following up with Panasonic.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a good product, March 29, 2007

By	Catherine D. Thompson "thompsons747" (Jupiter, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I do tape transcription several hours a day. I have used/abused the machine for over two years now and it is still running just fine. This is a good product at a reasonable price. I agree with another reviewer, they are getting hard to find in retail stores, so thank goodness for Amazon!
