Amazon.com Product Description
Do you have a great idea you don't want to forget? Or do you simply want to "jot" down some audio notes for an upcoming project? Then look no further than the Memorex MB2186A Microcassette Recorder. This recorder features a compact, slim design and is a perfect choice for your electronic notebook. The MB2186A features quick, handheld push-button operation for both recording and playback. Plus, with the voice-activated system (VOX), the device will sense sound and start/stop recording automatically, so you'll never waste valuable tape on dead air.

There are two selectable recording speeds -- the faster speed makes clearer recordings for reproduction, while the slower speed is perfect for voice memos and audio note taking. The device features easy-to-use buttons, and is built with an automatic, end-of-tape shutoff feature. The built-in microphone helps assure optimum recording quality and battery operation (two AA batteries) means convenient taping even when you're away from home or office.

5 out of 5 stars Great Buy   November 19, 2008
You can't go wrong for the price. It might not have all the features of a more expensive model but if your looking for a recorder that does the job and is cheap, this is the one.


5 out of 5 stars Worked great   November 2, 2008
I think it worked great, the mic is a little touchy. The tape you get with the recorder is only 30 mins though. 15 mins on each side so you might need to buy different cassettes.

I bought this based on some good reviews. It turned out to be a total waste for me. I needed something I could use to record class room lectures. I can't hear A THING that the instructor said. And my classroom is not a huge lecture hall either, it is in a lab room w/about 24 students. Suffice it to say, I gave it to my kids to play with..it does work if you talk directly into the recording device. Otherwise, it is not sensitive enough to pick up a lecture. Try the Sony one w/the red button, it is very effective and comparable in price. That is the one I inevetibly had to purchase.


5 out of 5 stars Far exceeded my expectations for $20.00.   June 16, 2003

Bought it for the kids since they were always stealing my expensive Sony, well eventually I lost the Sony, and in a moment of despiration grabed the kids, after scraping all of the gooey kid stuff, and replcing the batteries, I ran out the door to go to my meeting. Upon arriving at the meeting I turned on the recorder and to my surprise it worked flawlessly, I think the sound qualty is actually better, and it is definetly durable, upon returning home I bought a new one of these for myself, and have been very happy with it ever sense, the kids still use the old one and it has been a few months now, I just got interviewed with it last week, and it is still ticking.

For the price, this microrecorder does the job. I purchased this one to replace a forty dollar Panasonic one. This one works just as well if not better than the more expensive one. The only thing that I don't like about this one is that it is made out of cheap feeling plastic. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone that just tosses these into the briefcase.
