Summary

I used this as a second VCR for my kids to play tapes and to record TV programs. My main VCR is a ten-year-old Memorex that still works great. This VCR was awful. The picture and sound quality were terrible, and I couldn't play tapes recorded on this VCR...

Strength

Cheap price

Weakness

Eats tapes, poor quality picture/sound, poor playback on other machines

Bottom Line

This is a piece of junk. Don't buy it.

Summary

This is the worst product I ever bought in any category. We bought it in Walmart to replace our old one which was deteriorating but still working. In comparison, this new one was feather light - you had to hold it down to press a button. No clock...

Strength

Absolutely nothing.

Weakness

No features that you would expect - Ultimately dies anyway

Summary

This vcr appeared to be a great deal. Emerson is usually a trustworthy brand and the price was certainly right. The money you save buying this one, however, will quickly be lost in the videos it destroys. I actually returned the first one to Walmart,...

Strength

None

Weakness

Even when it's not eating a tape the picture and sound quality suck.

Summary

I paid $50 for this VCR at Wal-Mart last year because I didn't think it was a bad price for a 4 head and I like silver colored electronics. Not long after I got, it started chewing up VCR tapes that were very important to me. This is a very widespread...

Strength

None

Weakness

Chews lots and lots of tapes because of being so poorly built by Emerson.
