4 stars because it's too complicated to use its full potential (for me). I never tried refurb before but the price discount was too good to pass up. Speedy delivery, well packaged, and no problems to date. I just need a geek to help me use it correctly. I will buy from them again.

Customer Reviews

be aware of what you buy - D. Dryer - Park Falls, WI, US
I would not recomend this product, I purchased this item on line at the beginning of December for Christmass when it arrived and was hooked up I could not get the vcr section to work so I contacted phillips support the person it talked to asked me to try a couple of thing concluded that the vcr section was broken. (Their went christmas) So he had a replacement unit sent to my location. When I hooked up the and found the new unit vcr would not work this is when they informed me that their had to be a seperate hook up for the vcr becaue the vcr would not come in on the ant. to the back of my tv. which by now I had the cable box going to one location and dvd section to another location on the back of the TV so now I was out of location on my television. was forced to go out a purchase a special adapter to allow the VCR to come into the TV. After the addition purchase I was able to get the unit to funtion (I never went to school to be an Engineer). The VCR has a very poor quality recorder. We trying following the book but was very confussing and some of it was out of date. We have tried time recording the last couple of day and found the unit has cleared it memory 2 time by resetting the clook and date to a time a date in the past (3 or four months). I would not recomend the unit for us by anybody not even a person I disliked. If I was to purchase anothe electronic device i believe Phillips would be on the bottom of the list.

Crashed but Outlet Honored the Refund - W. Dees - UP There USA
I owned an earlier version of this recorder that I still use and have had minimal problems over a two year period. This item was ordered as a refurbished machine but crashed within 24 hours after I started to use it. Thus, there is little I can say about it. This review is more about the 3rd party vendor that sold it to me. Over the course of three days with some starts and stops in communication the vendor (Outlet based in CA) honored the return and expedited my refund. They also refunded my shipping charge in full so that I lost only my time spent in setting up, breaking down, repackaging and getting it to the UPS store. If I see their name again when ordering something I would not hesitate to do business with them again, because I know that the risk would be diminished by their business practices.
