Good Points

Comes with a big reputation.


Bad Points

I'd say it was easy to use but it takes ages to recognise the disc so you can't just pop a disc in and start recording without thinking ahead. Crashes in the middle of recording and goes into an endless switch on mode. Frequently won't record onto a disc which already has some used space.


General Comments

If you get a good Panasonic DMR-E55 then fine you can unsympathetically wonder what all the fuss is about, but if you are one of the many people who seem to have bought a dud then unless you have paid for an extended warranty (mine worked OK for a year although I did lose a couple of discs which I foolishly put down to the discs having a glitch) then you might as well just use it as a player or a door stop. That's if you can get the recordable disc out of it without smashing it (even pulling the plug out the back doesn't stop it going into endless switch on mode when you reconnect). It's been the poorest piece of AV kit I have ever bought.
