At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.

This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

From: NexTag Reviewed by: Lance Ewert Posted: Jun 04, 2008 Type: User Review Works well most of the time

I have 2 units and VHS tapes consistently get stuck in the transport mechanism or at the door. The DVD sometimes refuses to read recorded discs unless they are loaded 5-7X. It is easy to use and setup though and is a decent value.

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 23, 2008 Type: User Review Samsung DVD-VR357 Tnerless DVD Recorder and VCR

I purchased the Samsung DVD-VR357 so that I could transfer old video tapes to DVD's. The first thing that I noticed when I received the unit is that they don't recommend using DVD+R disks. They recommend DVD-R. My old DVD players work best with...
