Toshiba DR420

Read full article here...

Though expert reviewers like the image quality (especially at lower recording speeds) of some competing DVD recorders a little better, user reviews largely favor the Toshiba DR420 for its reliability, ease of use (relative to other DVD recorders) and overall value. The biggest negative is the lack of a built-in tuner. That makes the DR420 an iffy choice for those who get their programming over the air or from basic cable (without a cable TV box), but it's suitable for most others. You won't find lots of extras on the Toshiba DR420, but some well-appreciated features like chasing playback, time-slip recording and even a commercial skip are available. Experts do like the image quality of the Panasonic DMR-EA18K (*Est. $165) a little bit better, especially at slower recording speeds (which lets you fit more on a single disc), but usability and other issues leave a bad taste in a large percentage of users' mouths. If you need a DVD recorder with a built-in tuner, the Toshiba DR570 (*Est. $160) includes one and is also well regarded, especially by its owners.

The Toshiba DR420 doesn't get a whole lot of feedback from professional reviewers, but it is included in the lists of best DVD recorders at About.com and TopTenReviews.com. User reviews are plentiful, however. Amazon.com is the best destination for those, but additional feedback can be found at ABT.com and RateItAll.com.
