Summary: its a good value
Review: the remote control is kind of awkward shaped, but overall good value for a VCR. plays tapes smoothly and has lots of nice features for the low price. and i got to admit its getting better, its getting better all the time!

Summary: Good, for a while
Review: When we first got our VCR, it was easy to set up, and came with a detailed instruction manual. The VCR had good picture quality and was easy to use. However, after about a year, it began to mess up the first fifteen minutes of my tapes. I learned to live with it. Then, about 5 months afterwards, it started to play the beginning of a tape and got stuck. The tape could not be played, rewinded, fastforwarded, or ejected. Now we will have to get it fixed or get a new VCR. I will not be able to tape a major sports event while I am on vacation next week. This VCR is good in the short term, but not very durable in the long term.
