Panasonic PV-V4522 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
very pleased with this basic vcr
I'm surprised at the negative reviews for this VCR.  We've had ours for about two months and have had no problems, nor do we find it noisy.  On the contrary, we've purchased three VCRs in the past three years and find this is the quietest of all of them.<br />Our purchase is based on a high Consumer Reports ranking and on Panasonic's very good repair history, and so far we're quite happy with this basic (and very inexpensive) machine.
