Deluxe Products Portable Cassette Player Tape Recorder. Record to Cassettes via Mic or Aux in. Built-in Speaker to Listen to Cassettes. Includes External Mic, Aux in Cable and AC Adapter

Works great

I just wanted a player to play old cassettes I have, some 40 years old. The audio sounded good to my ears. However, I could not use the new rechargeable lithium batteries coming out now. Bad sound! I tried Ni-Mh rechargeable batteries instead with good results. For 21 dollars, the audio was very good! This was my experience only.

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.

Great cassette player. Exceptional customer service!

good for the price, fair mic

Very easy to use

My 7-year-old was super excited to get this and record his own tape. We found a stack of tapes that I recorded as a kid back in the 90s, and of course, he wanted to be just like me and record his own. So we ordered this, and away he went. He was so happy using it, and I loved seeing him enjoy something like that. Anything that makes him that happy gets 5 stars from me.

This product is not worth a chance. Please heed my advice. AC cord did not work. When I got it working with batteries it made a horrible LOUD sound while recording. The recordings themselves are not worth of even a sub par quality. Bottom line, this particular recorder is just a waste of time for everyone involved from production to Amazon warehouses to costumer back to Amazon warehouse to continue the cycle. Anywhere in their advert they said that it only records mono. I came back to mention that because it's an important information when considering a recorder as well. I wouldn't mind it being mono if it was at least a decent recording but this thing is a recall. Scroll pass this one.

Excelente producto

Funciona para escuchar cassettes, el eliminador de baterias es efectivo; el cassette que viene incluido fue usado para probarlo y grabar, aunque genera algo de ruido blanco esta bien para grabar cositas y notas, el microfono externo para reemplazar el integrado funciona de maravilla y el cable auxiliar para grabar algo como radio o audio de celular, el audio debe estar en un volumen adecuado en el externo para que el auxiliar detecte sin problema, el boton de grabar se atora un poco pero no hay broncas 4 de 5 estrellitas yeii :D

This item’s power plug is 2 pin and is therefore incompatible for the UK.

mete mucho ruido

No sé si el aparto viene dañado pero el ruido que mete lo deja inusable, incluso empeora si conectas el micrófono. Utilicé la fuente que viene incluida y probé distintos cassettes y siguió igual.
