Negative Positive
Title: Bad product
Review: I bought the hp 8220e with the expectation it was a middle of the road, slow but effective cd burner. Unfortunately it was slow and ineffective. I was able to burn my first cd ok, but then went 1 for the next 15. I tried three types of blank media (memorex, memorex rw, and verbatim) then tried slower speed (2x) and keeping all other programs from running while burning (all of this on the advice of the helpful but ineffective hp customer service person which cost a $10 phone call). I downloaded the latest drivers and version of myHP CD and still no luck. For $200 bucks I could accept a few missed burns but this thing is a piece of junk. I found out the HP doesn't even make this thing- it's made by mitsumi and if I complained enough to customer service they might send me a hp-labeled Sony burner instead. I'll cut my losses and look elsewhere.
Is the review positive or negative?
