Toshiba M625 Hi-Fi VCR
This one eats tapes!
After reading the mixed reviews on this VCR (some say it's wonderful; others claim it eats tapes), I decided to purchase it since it was  potentially a great value.  Big mistake.  This VCR ate the first 2 tapes it  was fed.  I will be returning it, and trying something with a better track  record.
