I bought one of these at wal mart, boy I shouldn’t have. First of all I waited a month to try and burn a cd. I bought their brand of dvd-r’s and tried to burn some stuff from my camcorder, now the first two times I thought I was doing something wrong cause after I finalized my discs I tried to watch them and it just said “bad disc”. So I have tried 5 times to burn something with no success and about 40 hours of my time wasted in trying to use this hunk of crap. Oh by the way it’s a really bad dvd player too. It’s had a hard time recognizing even some brand new discs of mine. DON’T EVEN CONSIDER BUYING THIS MEXICAN PEICE OF CRAP!!!!

I don’t share the sentiments of the previous four reviewers of this product, but hey I havent even had the DVD Recorder even a week yet, but so far, I love it. At $98.74 @ Walmart the price was right, and it does seem too good to be true, I hope I don’t live to eat those words. But I record my favorite shows/movies and they play flawlessly, I transfered my old VHS tape home videos onto DVD they play fantastic and will preserve the footage for generations. Now generally the cause of malfunction for a product causes usually range from not maintaining the product properly, they include an instruction manual for a reason, not just to tell you how to work the darn thing. But all and all I love my ILO’s DVD Recorder and I can now say I will use old VHS Tapes as Paper Weights.

I bought this piece of crap about a week ago. It work fine until now. It want format disc it keeps saying “Error” I’m taking this back to Wal-Mart and getting my money back. With the money I spent on it I can buy me a DVD Burner for my Computer. So, if your thinking about getting one of this, do yourself a favor and save your money.

I bought one of these from wal mart 4 or 5 yrs ago. Out of the box it seems to work great. Then I put my trust into it & started recording over the air programs without “finalizing” until the disc was full. Big mistake! At the end of the disc this unit would almost always produce a failure resulting in wasted discs and anything you recorded being history! It got even worse with the unit refusing to read ANY dvd only 3 weeks after I bought it. I took mine back for a refund but was curios & done some googling. It turns out the company that made these units cloned a Phillips recorder then went out of business just from wal mart pulling these from the store shelves. Everyone lost money on these including wal-mart when millions of people returned there & the company was out of business. EVERY SINGLE UNIT is bad. If you see one for sale just dont even bother! Too high of a failure rate.

My take on the Ilo DVDR05 is a little different. I purchased my machine at Walmart close to two years ago. My main goal was not to replace a video recorder, but to convert about a dozen VHS tapes to DVD. For this purpose the Ilo has shined.
Have I had problems….yes, but when I purchased this I kept two things in mind. DVD recorders at the time was commanding a price far above what I could afford, so for a price of 80 something dollars I was not expecting perfection (and I did not get it) and two…I was purchasing something from WAL-MART for 80 dollars. Actually, it has OUT performed my expectations by FAR.
With the exceptions of finding a DVD that the machine likes, and the OCCASIONAL ruined disc (when everything looked good) I have no problems with this product. It still works and I have been around Video technology since the mid 70′s so I do not even agree that the user interface of this product is difficult. I find the machine perfectly SIMPLE to operate, actually I wish other pieces of video equipment were as easy to deal with as this machine is.
I am not saying that other people have not has their share of problems, what I am stating for the record, is that just about every review of the product is going to be tainted, because if you are pleased with a product you go use it. If you are NOT pleased with the product because of YOURS being a lemon, or some perceived grievance you have, you go on line and COMPLAIN. Its HUMAN NATURE. I wanted to add some perspective to this product and state its not the devil. I have had MUCH WORSE products and paid more for them.
YES, I would purchase again, if Cyberhome still made them.
