Panasonic PV-V4522 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Panasonic Quality at a low price
While this is not a high end VCR, it gets the job done very well.  I've owned 3 Panasonic VCR's over the past 7 years and been very please with their quality and reliability.  Consumer Reports consistently tags Panasonic VCR's as 'CR Best Buys' and I am sure that the 4522 will not disappoint.<br />If you are looking for a higher end VCR loaded with features, I recommended looking at the PV-VS4821.
