Nurses have to communicate in a strange language of numbers ,abbreviations, etc. many times a day 24/7. These units were purchased to provide verbal continuity....a voice mail for all of us to use and a rotating tape system that saved our info for one week. Two recorders and 7 tapes were purchased and they have proved reliable for this purpose. Factor in the workplace and these have performed beyond expectations. A competing brand has been wearing out every month as the flimsy plastic parts kept breaking. These units do not break.(we also tried a digital/tapeless unit and it was a joke...It WOULD record, but was so complcated to use..data would be lost).  I strongly recommend this tape player for a basic, well built voice recorder at a reasonable price.
