Great tape recorder. These tape recorders are vital for me. Since Radio Shack went out of business, it is difficult to get a good tape recorder.

### ⭐ Very bad recording quality though playback is okay.
*by A***R on February 26, 2026*

If all you want to do is play back cassettes you've already recorded on another device, this product will probably suffice. But forget about trying to RECORD with it and capture a clean recording. It is terrible. There is a loud HISS sound in the background that obscures much of what is recorded. I tried it with the microphone it came with, and also an external device that can be plugged into the AUX input. The result was the same. Very bad. I suspect this so-called recorder does not come with any sort of noise suppression built in, the result being you will get unwanted, overwhelming hiss and not a clean recording. This is not "normal" tape hiss; this is something much worse. I realize this is a very inexpensive device, but in reading some of the other reviews for this product from people who rave about how great this machine is, I went ahead and ordered one. That was a mistake. I am surprised anyone would think this can capture a good recording without extraneous noise in the background. BTW, I used a good quality, new cassette -- in fact, two of them -- and the result was the same. By contrast, I used an old machine I was getting ready to retire and it recorded beautifully WITHOUT any hiss. (But my old machine has a problem rewinding, hence I bought this one). I cannot in good conscience recommend this device and now if I seek a refund it will probably count against me. But in my line of work I routinely need to record interviews I do and this "Deluxe" recorder will not do the job.
