Query: Think twice before you buy this unit!

I thought by spending a little more on the Toshiba product I would save myself money in the long run. I assumed it would last longer and be a higher quality product. The product warranty is 3 months parts and labor and 1 year parts (you pay labor charges). I've had mine seven months, and the vhs side simply quit showing us a picture. We can hear sound, but the screen is blank. I took it to the service center where they charged an initial $37 just to look at it. I'm sure that before it's over and done with, the repair costs will be climbing upward to what a new non-Toshiba combo would be. If you have had good luck with a particular band, buy it again. If you have no prior experience with a brand, don't assume that spending more is going to get you a better product. It just simply isn't always the case.
