Worth it

This is a simple and complex machine. Simple in the way of how easy it is to use. Just press the REC button and you are done. And complex with all the useful features like MP3 player, CD player, DVD player, and my most surprised feature RF. If you are watching T.V. downstairs and recording upstairs, just press stop on the remote whenever within about 100 ft.

Highly recommended

I purchased the DMR-E55 in May 2004 & have nothing but praise for this machine and I think the DVD-RAM format is so good because I am able to record my favourite tv shows in DVD-RAM Format in XP or Flexible record mode then simply erase the commercials leaving just the tv show then play the Ram disc back in my Panasonic S27 player and record to DVD-R to keep for future viewing anytime I wish to watch them. I also have backed up many VHS tapes & home movies to DVD-R. The only problem I have ever come across with this recorder is that on the odd occasion after finalizing a DVD-R the menu has not been completely created even though all chapters buttons work fine the menu is not in full view but maybe that has been more a faulty disc than the machine itself but even so these few discs still play fine. I would highly recommend this machine to anyone who is looking for a good DVD recorder.

Consider the highly improved replacement, Panasonic DMR-ES10

The Panasonic DMR-E55 is highly rated, but with some limitations, and I was considering getting one. But Panasonic just came out with a replacement, the DMR-ES10, which not only fixes most of the problems/limitations of the E55 but is also a mind-bendingly reasonable $200 list price. It just hit the shelves a few days ago, and I was lucky enough to be there at the right time and ended up with a unit. I love it. See the review I'm writing under the ES10.

Even if you find a good deal on a used/refurbished/closeout E55, you might at least want to consider the ES10 for its improved functionality.

[I gave the E55 a 4* rating to avoid skewing the ratings. I've noticed that when people don't rate a product, that counts as 0 *'s]

Panasonic DVD recorder.

I have 6 of these DVD recorders. It is so user friendly. Panasonic sent me a disc update to increase the speed of the drive to 8X. No one was selling the 4X discs anymore. I was in a total panic. I tried a Toshiba DVD recorder and it took a rocket scientist to figure it out and I still had major problems. Needless to say, I returned it. I highly recommed a Panasonic.
