1.0 out of 5 stars Very low recording quality, October 26, 2003

By A Customer

I bought this product and am very disappointed with the poor tape quality of recorded material. There is a lot of background/static noise recorded. Also, the diameter of the recording spot is sooo small. Maybe it would be better with the microphone attachment?

2.0 out of 5 stars Roger's review, April 15, 2009

By	Roger Drushel - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Memorex MB1055 cassette recorder--The speaker is too small & thus doesn't pick up the sound sufficiently to be heard clearly. When you turn the volume up to hear the music it sounds like it is vibrating. The lid to close the battery compartment is missing.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS!, January 26, 2009

By	Ole Anders (Coquina Beach, FL USA) - See all my reviews

If you need a cassette recorder to record lectures, you might like the more expensive SONY TCM500DV--not the SONY TCM200DV, which is no improvement on this Memorex. This Memorex has no auto-reverse and it is very noisy. Besides, the construction is flimsy and toy-like.
I needed a backup for my TCM500DV. I bought this, took it home, and tested it against my TCM500DV. Was I ever shocked at the difference! I returned the Memorex and bought another SONY TCM500DV.
