Advantages: One touch transfer from Video to DVD.

Disadvantages: Freezes a lot, and sometimes misses recording

I've had this for about 6 month now, and over all am not very impressed. It was cheap and I suppose you get what you pay for.
Often the whole thing will freeze, and need several on and offs to unfreeze, pretty annoying when you are watching something!
The recording is very hit and miss. Mostly recording to DVD is fine, quality great. Then occasionally for no apparent reason, it simply won't record. A few weeks ago it recorded perfect picture but no sound at all! Then it is back to great again!
Video recording is fine, but play back sometimes weird as the tracking button over does it, and it jumps all the time until you manually set the tracking!
Converting Video to DVD is easy, one press button, so that has been useful. Sadly you can't record from DVD to video, even stuff you have taken yourself.
Takes up less space than DVD and Video.
Easy to connect and set up via Scart lead.

Summary: Good and cheap but not terribly reliable!
