I've tried other more expensive recorders; however, I was very pleasantly surprised that this GE was an excellent recorder with really good recording fidelity and playback fidelity. It's small, very portable, and sturdy. It is easy to load with batteries and tape and the adjustable mike sensitivity setting is really good. This machine is excellent for my formal and informal use and of course, excellent at the price.

I received this product last week and used it without the external microphone. I heard more of the "machine noise" than the conversation (during playback). I had the settings set specifically for my use, and the noise it made on playback was annoying.
