My Panasonic E50 must be approaching 3 years old.
My Panasonic E55 is around 2 years old.
Not one bit of trouble with either of them.
Says it all really. 8)

my panasonic dmr-e30 was one of the first on the market all those years ago ;) & it`s still going strong after literaly thousands of discs copied (or should that be recorded)

so yay for panasonic :D

I have a Philips DVDR610 ex-demo from Comet.

Still working after a week :D

Amazing :D

The Panasonic DMR ES10 costs £200 RRP and you can get it for £150 if you look in bargain sites like,

www.kelkoo.co.uk

www.pricerunner.co.uk

The following are reasons i recommend it;

1. Its DVD RAM compatible so you can almost limitlessly edit directly on the disc and pause live tv if something arises like somebody at the door or a call of nature.

2.LP recording with 500 lines of resolution (most DVD recorders have less than 300 lines on LP mode).

3. it come from a top brand so you will be getting top quality from it.

4. What home cinema magazine said it was the best DVD recorder with no hard disk


if you want to opt for something else, avoid Mustek and Goodmans products because their products are cheaply built and dog turd quality playback and recording.

I hope this information is helpful to you.

HAPPY SHOPPING

Panasonic E50 here still going after 2 years :)

I do get the odd lockup sometimes but soon sorts its self. :¦

Panasonic E55 here, get a Panny, you won`t regret it :D

What about Pioneer ?
I don`t see too many negative reports about them on here.
Many folks got one ?

Panasonic E65 in my house - dog`s bo11ocks.

Richer Sounds have the E55 for £150 & the ES10 for £180.

Do you see a pattern of recommendations here? ;)

Cheers
