Though this recorders' buttons may get a little confusing, playing with it for a little while will get you used to it and soon you will be able to use it even when asleep! The best feature for this recorder is the fact that you can UPLOAD all your recorded voice data to your PC! The second best feature is the long recording time and you can choose the quality of the recording (The better the quality, the shorter the recording time and vice versa) -- You can choose from three recording qualities.

The product that came was quite used and a little battered here and there but overall, it works pretty fine. It's great for its price but it could be less, for the quality. But hey, it came with batteries. Thats it. Just the unit itself and the batteries. Everything else you would have to get online or buy it. :C.
