I am starting to shop for a DVD recorder; even that is way "high-tech" for me! The trick is that I want to do some "tape trading" but that means dubbing to DVD these days. I have a bunch of points saved up with a rewards company through work; I'm not sure if this link will open to the general public, but I'll try:

This is the only real DVD recorder they had; I have enough points to get it for free, including shipping. It's a Toshiba, the only specs it gives:
-R/RW, +R/RW w/ OTR (no tuner), USB Port (Photos/Music) DV in., HDMI (1080p), CE-Link, Auto Finalization
Are there any reasons to stay away from this for my purposes? I'd hate to get it and then be told my copies aren't any good or some such.
