Type of review

Bought as a gift for my husband who likes to listen to his old cassettes. The recorder arrived quickly and in good condition. The sound is pretty good for a small device like this. My husband is thrilled that he can listen to his old records and feel a little bit younger again.

Pros
  • Dimensions 3.7 x 5.2 x 1.2 inches (W x D x H)
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Tape recorder

I had to get a new silver tape recorder from my Memorex. What I received was a used black tape recorder, also made by Memorex. This recorder was very visible as a used product. There are scratches on it, on the back of the radio there were stickers that have partially peeled off. And it had a very distorted sound. I was deeply disappointed that they sent me something in this condition and not what I ordered. I've always had a very good relationship with Revain so I was blown away by the voice…

Pros
  • Handy buttons for quick operation
Cons
  • boring packaging

Does what I needed it for.

This was a used product, not insignificant but it still does what I need it for. Memorex used to be a good product so I chose it. Recording is activated in a number of ways - by voice activation or by every time you press the record button. You can also use the internal mic or plug in an external one, which I did so I don't have to hold the recorder. The sound during playback is not of the highest quality, but it is understandable - it creaks a little. The price was too high for the condition…

Pros
  • Has a built in microphone for quality recording
Cons
  • Slim
