Samsung DVD-R130 DVD Recorder

This unit is a piece of garbage as is the DVD-R160. Samsung customer service is absolutely worthless. I originally purchased this unit in Feb 07. It worked for about two months before it would not read any disks. I sent it in for service within the 90 day window - they could not fix it and sent me a new unit after waiting four months. The DVD-R160 then worked for about two months as well; same problem! It would not initialize new disks nor read standard DVDs. I didn't get a chance to call before the 90 days expired. Of course, customer service would not budge and would not waive the $65 labor charge to look at the unit. After countless calls and elevation to executive customer service, I have given up.

Do not waste your money on a Samsung product - they may be good in other product lines, but the customer service is nothing to other manufactuers. Be wise, go elsewhere...
