...world where I found this Freecom model priced at £49.99. There was not a great deal of choice in PC world having three different recorders to choose from, two of them were out of the question simply because they were in the + format which I tend to find less reliable.

Advantages: ummmmm Disadvantages: Doesn't work very well, slow, intermitently recognises disks, poor back up service, need I go on?
I ordered my Freecom DVD Recorder LS USB 2.0 after my CD/DVD drive packed up on my 15 month old HP Desktop.

Quick review of Freecom DVD RW Recorder LS USB 2.0
The light's on but there's no-one at home.
After only very light use, this product now steadfastly refuses to be recognised by either my desktop or laptop PC. It is not a usb lead problem or a malfunctioning power supply.

I suspect the same has happened here. You could say that you get what you pay for, but I don't even think I've had that.
Don't buy. ...
