GE 35375 Handheld Mini Cassette Voice Recorder

This microcassette recorder is very practical and good for the price. It has a number of features which I am pleased with. The "Voice activated recorder" option, works well and saves on tape and battery power. The "one touch record" is handy, so you don't press the play button by accident, and miss recording, or end up playing a pre-recorded tape (which often happened with my old model recorder) and this was distracting during lectures. The "dual tape speed" allows extended recording, up to 3 hours with a 90 minute tape, which is convenient. The quality of both recording speeds is good, and is sensitive enough to detect normal conversations a few metres away. It also contains headphone and microphone jacks, and the provided clip-on microphone works well.

I recently purchased this microcassette recorder for my college classes. Although my dual action timer didn't work with my 90 minute tape, it does have a lot of other handy features. It has a quiet auto reverse and forward mode. Its convenient voice activated recorder works great on saving battery power,too! It records conversations well and is handy for meetings, classes, etc. You can use it with, or without, the microphone attachment. Its size is also very handy and would fit almost anywhere. Most of all, it's a good price for what you get.

This recorder outperformed a more expensive version I purchased supposedly for clearer recording because of a background noise filter. I could barely hear normal voice levels of a conversation with the Panasonic RN505. I used the external microphone for both to compare. My GE had much stronger sound and quality and it's [a lot] less. Convenient to use.
