Panasonic PV-V4611 4-Head Hi-Fi Stereo VCR
All depends on what you want to use it for
The vcr seems like it works fairly well, plays rental tapes and things recorded on it just fine...has a fair amount of features for the price as well. I do have one major disappointment, tapes recorded on it cannot be viewed on other vcrs, and tapes recorded on other vcrs cant be viewed on it either...I have tried it with Phillips and Magnavox VCRs, and had no success. Since my situation is that I need to record things in one room during the day to be watched at night when my family sleeps in another, this doesnt work for me. If it was your sole VCR, I think it would be a perfectly adequate choice.
