Kenmore 3.5 cu. ft. I.E.C. Super Capacity HighEfficiency Washer 4810

Pros: Nice unit, does record.

Cons: Poor tuner aquisition of channels & channel names during setup.

The Bottom Line: Nice unit for recording, but channel setup is a major pain.

Review: Basically I like the unit. If you don't need the HDMI connection and the SD card, get the "37" instead of the "47". The EZ475V is the same unit but with an HDMI cable. This thing comes only with a composite cable; gimme a break, who's gonna buy a $300 ...

Pros: HDMI out with upconversion to 1080P, better AV1 input then on other models of recorders.

Cons: Getting around the menus, setting programs to record you have to power off the unit.

Review: Purchased this on Friday May 11th 2007, has nice upconversion on DVD's. The recording process so far seems pretty good. Bought this to replace the LG Dvd/VHS recorder I had. So far I am ...

Pros: Customer service is good but it's just a hassle.

Cons: They have independently reset the clock which messes with my preset recording choices.

Review: I have two of these machines -- one in LR and one in BR so I can switch the discs as I do a lot of recording. I love the ability to record and reuse the rewritable discs. However, twice in the last couple of days while I was chasing playback the ...

Pros: Great recording, great picture, digital tuner, versatile.

Cons: Tuner is slow and gets confused easily.

The Bottom Line: Buy it if you don't channel surf. Use DVD-RAM for best results.

Review: This is a great product with one major flaw. First the good: Flexibility- it works with just about any recordable media (buy DVD-RAM discs for best results and more options). Dubbing VHS directly to DVD a breeze. Lots of inputs and outputs. ...

Pros: Good VHS and DVD Playback, Great Sound

Cons: Confusing manual, Timer malfunctions, Hard to hook up with out help

The Bottom Line: Buy it only if you absolutely need it! Wait until they get the many bugs out of it!!!!

Review: I couldn't wait to get this recorder. I researched and researched and this was the one with the best ratings. I bought it and when I opened the box I just stared dumbstruck at the 100 page owners manual. It is bad enough that it is 100 pages long but ...

Pros: Great recordings, when it works, even at relatively slow speeds. Good upconversion.

Cons: Poor customer service, software glitches, botches recordings with disturbing regularity.

The Bottom Line: Does not live up to the promise, does not live up to the Panasonic name. Software glitches are primarily to blame, along with poor customer service.

Review: Many of the reviews I read, before I purchased this DVR, didn’t tell the whole story. How many times do you have to reboot your DVR? Nearly once weekly, it stops responding to commands entered from its remote or from buttons on its face and so I have to ...

Pros: Surprisingly good upconvert. Great recording quality.

Cons: Drive burnout; Digital Tuner only works half the time.

Review: I've owned mine since October and when it works, it's great. The upconvert quality is good, and the recorder works fine for me. My bigger concern is the drive burnout. I had a DVD from Netflix with a very slight scratch. It ejected and I cleaned ...

Pros: Few pros - one obvious pro is low water usage.

Cons: excessive vibration; doesn't clean; fails in the middle of a load.

The Bottom Line: I would never buy a front loader again after using this one for 3 years.

Review: This is the absolute worst washing machine that I have ever owned. Problems started immediately with extreme vibration during the spin cycle. It was leveled correctly. The technician told us that the machine was intended to be used on a concrete floor, ...

Pros: Full Featured, Panasonic quality, customer support.

Cons: Manual, poor lay out and index. Remote a real mess. On screen info insuficient.

The Bottom Line: Lots of features. Bad manual poorly indexed, remote layout and labeling. Too complicated for most users.

Review: I have only had this unit for about a week. The first shock was that manual. With so many features perhaps a thick manual was necessary but the layout of the manual is illogical and poorly indexed. No straight forward instructions even for the initial ...

Pros: Promising set of features, nice when working.

Cons: Fundamental programming & design problems abound--good luck using all its features!

The Bottom Line: Avoid this product--it has so many quirky flaws that don't show up consistently--it's maddening!

Review: Although this unit has a great set of features & capabilities, it has so many fundamental problems that it's given me nothing but headaches. I even bought a second unit to compare & found that it had *the same problems*! This is not a case of me ...
