Highly recommended, both the product and the Adorama service

Highly recommended

Better than zoom!

It is small enough to fit in the small pocket of my gig bag. It comes with a soft case that is big enough for the recorder and an accessory that enables you to stick it on any mike stand. It works great and is a regular unobtrusive feature at all of our bands gigs and practices. You may want to upgrade the memory to a larger one. I recommend the product.

regular workhorse

I was really excited when I saw the announcement for this recorder along with the 2 channel version. The WiFi feature is very appealing for weddings, live events and anything else where you would want to check your levels without being by the recorder or even touching it. As of launch there is already firmware updates that you can find on the Tascam website so make sure to go download them and follow the easy instructions to update your DR-44WL. There are still some bugs but I'm sure those will be fixed soon.

The Wifi feature is having some bugs at launch for iOS and the wifi "almost real time" monitoring isn't working but most of everything is and its really smooth. Starting/stopping recording and marking spots works well as does changing levels and other settings and viewing your levels. The Android app is very lacking and only shows battery life, levels, stop start and thats about it. I am hoping that they will update it soon.

The build quality of the device is decent price but could be better. It's not a "wow" when you hold it like the zoom h5/6 but it will definitely last. and I really like the screen/menu setup along the scroll wheel, it helps you navigate the menus fast. I plan on updating this review as I use it more and issues get fixed. The built in mics are on rubber shock-proof mounts and the sound quality is great! 

I also have a video review on YouTube with more detail and of course you can see the device in action as well as the whole menu system and app running. Search " Tascam DR-44WL Review Max Yuryev " to find the video as well as a comparison of this recorder vs the older version (DR-40) and another comparison vs the Zoom H5. If you have any questions you can ask on my video and I will respond. Hope this helps!
