Someone mentioned about a DVD recorder in Tesco for £35 the other day.
Hope that's some use to you.

I remember, but unfortunately, it was a clearance and some distance from London as far as I know.

sorry I will keep an eye out. I know that Asda are selling them for about £65 if that is any help.

If anyone buys one and finds a DVD RW inside with CSI on it then it's mine!!!

I bought one of these from Sainsbury's for £84.99 (£52.49 with Nectar points) a year or so ago. Worked fine until one day on power-up the display went funny. After consulting the manual I unplugged and left it for a while but when I reconnected it was dead as a Dodo, checked fuse but it was okay. Returned it to Sainsbury's who did a full refund as the guy reckoned these models had an overheating problem.

Prior to this I had no complaints but two things to note:

1) In common with several of the entry-level models at that time it had no RGB output.

2) From pressing the power-on button to actually starting recording took probably nearly a minute (never actually timed it though).

My dad bought OP's Mico one well over a year ago...may be nearly two...still working but will not now recognise some brands of blank DVD's...paid £99 in Sainsbugs...a brown box offer...would probably buy another...especially at that price.

What does it mean "grade A factory refurb"?

The ones in asda are brand new I think and they have had them since before christmas at about £65.

I had 2 of these Mico's since 2005. Both broke. However at this price with a 1yr warranty they are worth going for.

I now have one with built in hard drive which is a big benefit however these machines cost more.

As an intro to DVD Recording the Mico at this price is fine in my view.
Keep the warranty though.

I also bought a refurb'd one of these from Sainsburys about two years ago and it's still working well.

The only minus I've found is that they do have a tendency to overheat and will sometimes cut-out during a long continuous recording in hot weather,but on the whole, they are/were great value for money.
