The five-button design features record, play, rewind, fast-forward, and stop/eject functions and the device is built with an automatic, end-of-tape shutoff feature.

Gross Georg "imgeorg" (Edmond, Oklahoma USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: GE 35364 Mini Cassette Recorder (Silver) (Office Product) I just recently bought my second one of these. I've been very happy with the performance of the 3-5364B Cassette Recorder.What I like about the recorder is that it takes full-sized cassettes that can be played in your car cassette player.

For standard voice recording - the microphone works well - and the sound quality is decent never had a problem with extra distortion. For the price - I am quite satisfied with that aspect. The reason I lowered the rating was b/c the buttons on this recorder are cheaply made. The rewind button popped off after a year of use - I've been using it anyway with the inconvenience of having to use a pen to press rewind - but I've always been a little disappointed with the design of how they fasten the buttons to mechanism - especially since fast those buttons get a good amount of use for players such as this. I'm looking to replace this player right now - but the few I've seen at radio shack unfortunately have similar buttons on...Read more 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: GE 35364 Mini Cassette Recorder (Silver) (Office Product) Please never ever buy this one...A lot of background noice, you can barely hear the voice you wanted to record. |
