I bought this item specifically for the timer recording function on the cassette recorder, only to get home several hours after the end of the recording time to discover that the cassette was humming and clicking away to itself because there is NO auto stop facility. How on earth can a manufacturer make such a product? It's such a basic function, it's ALMOST an implied term that it exists. Other than this annoyance, the product is lightweight and I really like the fact that I can tune the radio manually rather than having some awful 'seek' function that never finds what I want.

I often need to record interviews, radio programmes etc in the course of my work and still find good old normal-sized cassettes the most congenial medium to use. I use a small Sony recorder (TCM-450DV) to make recordings, but have missed not having a good tape playback system which is one reason why I got this reasonably priced system. I also fancied being able to set the machine to make timed radio recordings.
On the plus side, it's good to be able to play back tapes and lsten to them as if I were listening to a radio. In addition, I like having a non-digital radio tuned by twirling a dial (sorry to hear on the news this morning that the new British govt is going ahead with plans to phase out FM by 2015). But I have two main criticisms of the system so far:
a) I found setting the clock needlessly tricky, and not very well described in the instruction booklet. The relevant pages of the instruction booklet include a helpline number for queries, and I understand from using this line that some other users have also had problems setting the clock. I have yet to try making a timed recording of a radio programme; have been deterred from doing this by the difficulties over the fiddly clock.
b) although I make recordings with the small Sony recorder set to normal speed, on several occasions the playback feature of the Roberts recorder has speeded the tapes right up to sound like double speed. That happened this morning when I rewound on Roberts a cassette on which I had freshly recorded something on the Sony recorder. However, once I removed the cassette from the Roberts player and reinserted it, the speed was normal.

I bought this as a present for my mother. She wanted a radio with tape recording features, and she'd been looking for one with this facility for some time.
The radio arrived really promptly and she's been full of praise for it ever since. It has good sound quality and does exactly what it says on the tin.
Recommended.

Roberts and quality.
The name Roberts and Quality have been the bye word for radio products and to-day it remains the same. Good, no-nonsense products that deliver the performance at the right price.
