Just bought 4 of them
My impressions:

Big, Plastic, Tacky, badly designed, poor interface. They work fair
enough..but they look and feel like big plastic toys.

So why didn't you get just 1 for starters ;-?

Did you get the regular or the "Pro" model?

Allow me to offer a caution: do not use it near an open mic -
it has a fan on a thermostat and the fan can go on just when
you are thinking everything is just fine and dandy!

The interface does take a little getting used to, but it can
be customized to your needs.

I found that it worked great out of the box, but after I got
accustomed to the operation I customize the interface for
a little more efficiency.

One more caution: did you know it uses FAT32? (File Access Table based on 32 bits) This means that no file can be larger than 1.9Gb. In other
words the 3 hours of recording will produce approximately 15 files.

This can have a sweet advantage: you can place ID clips or "ads" for your station in the middle of these files.
