I actually have this VCR's first cousin, the Sony 688HF; the two are almost identical. I paid about $200 a little over a year ago, so I think the 679HF is more recent. But what a machine this is! Reliable, useful, high quality, this is the way VCRs...

Pros: Price, Quality, Brand name
Cons: Really none
