Great recorder for the money

You will not find a better dvd recorder for the money anywhere. Similar units in the $150.00 range are no name with less features. I have two panasonics, an es10 and an es20. Both work very well. In this price range forget small things like the remote, its fine. My first es20 unit did have to be returned do to a noisy transport. Second one is great and the folks at bestbuy are great with returns. if you are having problems with an earlier es10 panasonic has a firmware update that should fix many problems.
