What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Space available
I love this mp3 player. It is easy to use and works well. I like that the on and off button is a simple side switch rather than holding down a button like an ipod. It plays music well and videos. I think the price is good, considering the prices for most other mp3 players are high. My only negative comment is the amount of space but considering I do not have 1000s upon 1000s of songs, it is not a issue at the moment.

What's great about it: Good Price and has options for increacing memory
What's not so great: No negative issues at this point
This product is much cheaper than some of the other MP3 players out there. It is compact and is easy to use once you figure it out. The biggest challenge is learning to add and manage music.

It took me awhile to chose an mp3 player. I didn't need anything fancy, but still wanted certain features, like video playback, memory card slot, etc. This had it all plus more. It is very user friendly.

What's great about it: Great Price and WIndows Media player compatibility
What's not so great: kind of short life on battery (lifetime)
I've been buying the Fuze for years now. Great little MP3 for the price. If you primarily just listen to music, why spend the extra bucks on features you don't need. HIGHLY reccommend the basic geek squad warranty plan. Internal battery really doesn't last more than 1 1/2 years and as long is there isn't water damage and you have your accessories, you'll be replacing!

What's great about it: Size, Sound quality, controls.
What's not so great: Early failure
After just about a year of use it died. White screen of death. Usually white screen is just a soft reset to fix. But the other day a soft reset, hard reset, format and reinstall firmware did not fix it. It wasn't 'bricked' because I could still access the data via USB, but with only a white screen there is no way to use it.
Till it died, I loved it. Size was just right and feature set while a little basic for my tastes was adequate for my needs.
I don't baby my players but neither do I abuse them. It has survived some drops from pretty high. So its a tough little unit in that way.
The sound quality on both the Fuze and the Clip are very good. Match them with some nice 'phones and encode at a decent bit rate and the sound should please you.
Five stars for Value, 3 stars overall because of early death.
(I only used it for music so can't comment on audio books, radio, etc)
In spite of the early death I plan to replace it with another Sansa. In my opinion there is no player that matches it for features/price. But this time I will be keeping my proof of purchase and getting teh extended warranty.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use, good price, compact, expandable memory, screen size, battery life, color, auto-off, radio...
What's not so great: Memory says I have 2.8GB of 3.7 available, but there's nothing on it
I just got this a few days ago, and so far so good. It really is more of a dark cherry red color, and it was so easy to plug it into my laptop & drop some music files into it to get up & running. Pictures loaded easily the same way. The sound is great, the screen size & clarity are wonderful, love the radio function & the ablitiy to add presets.
My only concern is the memory. It's listed as 4GB, and there's only 3.7. I had downloaded some music & pics, but saw that my Fuze was over half full. I only had put 4 pics and 185 songs on it. I took everything off, including the video, pics & music that came pre-loaded, and it still tells me that I only have 2.8GB free of the 3.7. I understand that 2.8GB is still a fair size, but it's not the 4GB that I thought I was getting. I sent an email to the Tech Support team at Sandisk, hopefully the'll be able to help figure out what's going on with it. Luckily it has the expandable memory card slot. Dragging files & loading them onto my microSD card is easy, and I can just pop the card in & listen to what's on there without a problem.
Overall, for the price, functionality & quality so far it's a pretty good lil' MP3 player, and more.

What's great about it: It was for my daughter and she uses it. She seems to like it very much.
What's not so great: That these items although very nice when you buy them will soon be obsolite.
This item is very nice for someone that likes to listen to their music on the run. I got this for my oldest daughter and she seems to like it very much. Although she uses it as a backup to here Ipod touch which has just way to much to offer in comparison with this MP3 Player. Don't know about my comment for durability since we just got the thing. Ease of use is just that, not hard at all to figure out.
I guess that's it for my review of this product.

What's great about it: Sound Quality, Easy to Learn to Use, Especially Fun When on the Go
What's not so great: Overwelming It by Going Through It Quickly and Changing Alot At Once
First of all, I loves the sound quality to it!
When I listen to my favorite songs on it, they all turn out to sound better than they actually do.

Positive - User friendly.
Negative - Looking at images on it. I'm always afraid to do so because when I do, my SansaFuze freezes awkwardly and I have to wait until the battery is low and then recharged before I'm able to use it 100% again. But I mainly use it for the music so it's 100% for me with music.

What's great about it: battery life, easy to use, size
What's not so great: screen scratches easily, the paint on the back comes off, freezes
I really loved this mp3 player. It was pretty good for the price. I've had it since about June 2009 and then at the beginning of March this year it broke. the month before, the screen would randomly and suddenly turn black all of a sudden, and the blue light wouldn't be on, and you couldn't turn it off/restart it. It was really weird. At first it would just be occasionally, but then it started happening more and more frequently, then one day it pretty much just stopped working. I was really upset, and I was thinking about contacting customer service or something to see if they know what the problem is. Also when I was charging it, sometimes it would just stop charging midway and the screen would freeze.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: lots of features
What's not so great: freezes up
Bought this for my son's birthday, and it stopped working 2 days later. It freezes up and you cannot listen to music or even turn it off properly. Very disappointing. Prior to to freezing up, it seemed like a great item, lots of good features and fairly easy to use. too bad it does not work.

What's great about it: Great Battery life, Sound Quality, Affordable, Compact, Easy to use, Expandable Memory:)
What's not so great: Nothing....Don't know if its durable, I usually don't drop my electronics:) Most electronics aren't built for durability
This is honestly my first MP3 player, I used my mobile phone for MP3's before. I love it, I have shopped around for awhile, and at first thought that I wanted the Ipod Touch or Zune HD, but came to reality that I have a laptop that I would much rather watch movies on, so why bother with all the extra bells and whistles when all I need is something to play music. Well this Sansa Fuze was very easy to set up and use, it does play videos, what I loved about this was that I bought the 4gb, and it has a micro sd slot that supports upto 32gb memory card so at any time I can purchase more memory as I need to. Right now I have quite a bit of music to keep me busy and still have lots of room before its full. Great sound quality, excellent battery life, and I love using the Sleep mode option so it will turn off automatically after a certain time has passed. I love that the screen isn't too small, and device isn't bulky. The average price I have seen this for is $50-$70. I give this product an A++++.

What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Rhapsody is a terrible software package for adding music - not easy or intuitive
We bought this MP3 player for our son after he outgrew his Fisher Price music player. We love the red color and how easy it is for him to use. Set up took a while because Rhapsody is a terribly unintuitive software package. It allows you to import your entire iTunes library, but it doesn't seem to allow you to pick and choose what you want from the library (in case you don't want to import the whole thing). If we had to purchase an MP3 player again, we would probably go with this player (SanDisk Sansa Fuze) again.

What's great about it: Great price, easy to use, Windows 7 compatible, charge length of battery, expandable memory
What's not so great: not sure I've found any other than the screen does scratch, but get a screen protector...it does the job.
My son-in-law had one, which initially caught my eye. Love the fact that the battery charge lasts for a day. Last player only lasted for 10 hrs before dying. All said, I'd have to say the best part is the expandable memory, which gives you limitless options at listening to your music +/- photos. The sound quality is FANTASTIC. It's just plain better than any player I've had yet and costs less than the IPod, for sure. The red is a darker red, not the brighter red shown on site. If you get a screen saver for like a gameboy, it can be cut down to fit the screen...it does scratch easily. Love, love, love this player!!

What's great about it: It's universal, easy to use and great price
What's not so great: The "on" switch is tricky
This mp3 player is the best one out there. My kids have had an ipod and a zune, and in my opinion this is far better than either one of them!! This one is so universal you can just use windows media player and quickly add songs in seconds. Can't beat the price either. The design is very nice looking too.
If I had to pick a negative point, it would be the on/off switch. It is a little on the small side and so if you have big fingers or you don't have fingernails it might be a little tricky to turn on.
Bottom line is that this is a great mp3 player for anybody.
(oh yeah... the color of the player in the picture on the website is not the color of red in person. It is more of a dark red.)
