    Reliable and reasonable cost
    I love this product because it is RELIABLE. The battery indicator in the window lets you know when the batteries are low in charge and need changing. The quality of sound reproduction is excellent. There are recorders with more bells and whistles - but this recorder has been my "go to" recorder.
