5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the classroom, September 5, 2000

By	"dsalerno" (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Panasonic RQL30 Mini Cassette Recorder (Electronics)

This recorder works great for the classroom. I have owned voice recorders before, but this one has many great features. First, all the buttons are easy to use & find - not as small as my previous recorder. I especially like the "pause" button, which is great when you want to stop recording (it doesn't distract the speaker by making a loud noise, like you would if you hit the stop button), and is also useful when you are playing back the tape and want to take notes. The pause button is also located at a convient spot - no where near other buttons so you don't accidently hit "rewind" or the dreaded "PLAY" button in the middle of class!

I also picked this recorder because it has a counter on it to help me match my notes with the tape.

I must point out that I was in the second row of my classroom, and the teacher spoke loudly. I had one professor who did not speak as loud, and I have trouble hearing *everything* he says on playback. However, I was impressed that the recorder itself was quiet, and cause minimal "noise" on the tape. I do plan to buy a microphone, however, so that the sound of the tape recorder will not effect the sound as much (for the softer-speaking teacher).

I would recommend this recorder and have no regrets in purchasing it. I think it is probably one of the best in it's price range.

It should be noted, however, that this recorder takes normal sized tapes, NOT mini-cassettes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product -..., October 3, 2001

By A Customer

I've been using a micro cassette recorder for years, and after trying three different brands, I finally grew tired of the poor sound quality. Moving to a regular cassette size has really made all the difference in that department.

This unit is easy to use, and is a very basic model. No big bells and whistles here....but it definitely gets the job done. So much so....that i'm baaaaack....purchasing another one for my sister! I like this recorder MUCHO!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor quality, April 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Panasonic RQL50 Mini Cassette Recorder (Electronics)

I just received this Panasonic Tape recorder and it literally almost fell apart in my hands. I opened the door to insert a cassette and a spring popped up and fell on the floor. I tried turning the unit on (with fresh batteries), the wheels on the tape ran for a few seconds and then ground to a stop. So I turn it off and try to press play again - only the buttons wouldn't respond at all.

So incredibly disappointed. Obviously, I'm sending it back to Amazon as a return for a full refund!
