DVDs have become a very common mode of data storage today. Their low cost (DVD-R disks are priced at less than one dollar, while DVD-RW are around $5 each) makes them an attractive option, in addition to their high storage capacities, and reliability as compared to tapes or floppy disks. DVD recorders are thus becoming a preferred option for most people. With the availability of several kinds of recorders at affordable prices and different options such as DVD-VCR combinations, many people are considering investing in a DVD recorder.

There are many kinds of DVD recorders today, the basic classifications being the straight DVD recorders, DVD recorders built into hard-disk digital video recorders, DVD recorders with built-in hard drives, and DVD/VHS recorder combos. With the availability of many top brands, competitive prices and comparable options, it has become very difficult for customers to decide on the best model. DVD recorders can be compared on the basis of the price, the playable disk types (CD (Audio), CD+G Karaoke, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD Audio etc), the brand (Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Pioneer, Toshiba, Philips, LG, Samsung, Alba, and others) or by the options (Playable file formats, surround sound, progressive scan, video upconversion, or the DVD type).

Reviews by previous buyers are a very good option for deciding on the right product. Many customers post reviews with the retailers or on websites about their experiences with the product. These reviews can be obtained on the manufacturer’s sites or on exclusive sites that host these products for sale. Anyone can post a review on these sites, and these reviews can be accessed by everyone. The product is reviewed on the basis of sound, ease of use, durability and quality. Reviewers can also rate the product based on these qualities. They can also mention the pros and cons of the product, as well as a short summary about their experiences.

Most reviews for DVD recorders in the medium ($200-500) and premium (above $500) price ranges are very positive and encouraging. Recorders in the low price range, particularly those in the < $150 range, have poor reviews from customers. These recorders have poor recording as well as playing qualities.

There are many sites on the Internet where customers can view these reviews. These reviews are ideal for comparing the various brands. Some sites also give easy options for comparison, along with the reviews.
