We like:
Impressive recording quality; excellent range of ports; good DivX support
We don't like:
Playback quality is good, but not perfect

The Philips DVDR5500 produces great quality recordings, looks stylish and is easy to use. Its DVD playback quality may only be so-so, but at this price it still represents good value for money
