Not sure about what you need to spend but our two Panasonoc S-VHS recorders have been reliable. I have heard bad reports re JVC and notice that the recent recorders are getting lighter & lighter -> cost cutting on transformers & other parts.

VCRs are very complex but there is no excuse for them being faulty out of the box.

It is worth while to spend a bit more on a model up in the range as the circuitry is pretty minimal -> mediocre video in the entry level models.

Sorry but I cannot recommend anything in nthe current range as it is several years since making a VCR purchase here.
