Easy to use, set up and carry.
About 3-4 months after the purchase, the record button started getting stuck, and could release only after probing it.
This rca recorder can be used in different settings and delivers despite ‘record’ button not functioning very well.
Price
For a very reasonable price, it works perfectly.
I have neer had an expensive cassette recorder and this is great for what little i need it
Sellers typically charge ridiculous prices because they know we technology challengded baby boomers will pay almost any asking price.
For the cost it is ok for what i need
Shipping
I was especially pleased that there were no shipping charges.
This micro-cassette voice recorder was delivered prior to the expected delivery date.
Packaging/appearance
It was well-packaged and was in the original packaging.
I was really really pleased with the packaging, quick delivery and excellent service overall.
Competitiveness
In these two settings, rca’s recording is very clear and less expensive than the digital one.
However, these machines are less available on the market than their digital and more expensive brothers.
This was a good purchase, as the same exact model is much more expensive in stores.
