2 out of 5 stars My review for the same product in another color scheme.......2006-01-08

This is my review for Panasonic RQ-SW48VK Portable Cassette Player, Black which appears to be the same unit but with different colors:

I've always had very good experiences with Panasonic equipment but I found this walkman (*ahem*, sorry... portable cassette player) to be barely worth the price. Unfortunately the number of options in portable cassette players has been reducing dramatically in response to the success of MP3 players and portable cds. If like me, you still need a cassette player you're going to want something better than this unit.

The real problem is the ergonomics. The switch to reverse direction is easily tripped, as are the FF and RW buttons. Because the tape goes into the unit in an anti-intuitive way and because there is no tape direction indicator it's easy to fast forward when you meant to rewind (and vice versa.) Also the belt clip pops off so easily I've given up on using it. I just put the unit (which is nice and small) in a jacket pocket.

The unit is cheaply made and the hardware feels flimsy. You are barely getting what you paid for it.
