Panasonic PV-V4022 4-Head Mono VCR
Broken in 4 months of light use
The VCR gives an average quality picture, but broke within four months of light use (after the 90 day warranty expired, of course). The picture suddenly went bad on one tape, and after this other tapes we tried were almost unwatchable. We cleaned it with a cleaning tape, etc. but it never worked right after that. We only watched a couple tapes a week with it, so its lifetime is about 35 tapes. You get what you pay for, so I guess I shouldn't be suprised by the low quality.
