This is a very nice, nifty little dictaphone. No-fills, does the job, compact, portable, perfect for travel and is not too hard on the bank account. For those who want a streamlined, no-fuss, easy-to-use method for personal recording use, this will most definitely be right for you. Audio Quality of the recordings is superb, particularly for voice memo, seminar/lecture, interviews etc. Very impressed with this little thing. Not too keen on the plastic packaging, easy to scratch, could be more durable. Also the USB cable provided is a bit of a bother, would have been perfect if it had its own USB. Otherwise, a very good product. Came with batteries included.
