Goodmans GDVDR319
"average" (3 out of 5 stars)
"A fair effort from Goodmans, but spending just a little more will buy you big improvements in quality."
LG Electronics DR275
"below par" (2 out of 5 stars)
"... credit to LG for producing a DVD recorder for so little, but its poor performance lets it down."
LG Electronics RH-278H
"average" (3 out of 5 stars)
"... be warned: even at that eminently reasonable price, the LG offers only average playback and recording performance."
Panasonic DMR-EX77
"excellent" (5 out of 5 stars)
"All in all, this is a triumph - but the Panasonic can be beaten for performance: say hi to the Sony."
Panasonic DMR-EZ27
"excellent" (5 out of 5 stars)
"Best DVD Recorder"
"A stunning DVD recorder at the price - makes great recordings and is a fine DVD player, too."
Samsung DVD-HR753
"very good" (4 out of 5 stars)
"A good all-rounder and worth checking out if this is the limit of your budget."
Samsung DVD-R150
"very good" (4 out of 5 stars)
"All in all, then, the Samsung is a very decent unit considering its low price. But still, there are enough flaws in the 'R150's performance to rob it of that fifth star. ..."
Sony RDR-HXD970
"excellent" (5 out of 5 stars)
"Best Hard-Disk/DVD Recorder"
"Sony proves that you get more if you spend more - it's a superb recorder."
