We had 4 of the Samsung SV-5000W's in classrooms and 3 failed within 2 years for no apparent reason. I would not buy them again, though they are inexpensive. We have replaced them (slowly) with Panasonic AG-W3's, which run around $ 1600, but are well worth the money. JVC also makes one (JVC HR-S6970 S-VHS Multi System VCR - about $ 350), and although I can't vouch for it, I have several JVC miniDV- VHS and JVC miniDV-DVD and they are great products.
