I need to count on the equipment when I am in the field. This last weekend, a host fumbled the Zoom F1 on Astro Turf from less than 30 inches and the door broke.
The units are great otherwise; I will keep buying them because they are perfect.
I wish they would sell replacement doors. Of course, then I would have only bought three instead of five -- so far.
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2020
Married it to a high end RODE Lav and get very nice results with this device BUT.......
I purchased the unit in May and store the batteries outside of the unit when not in use.
Today, I replaced the batteries in the unit and went to lock the battery compartment shut.
There is a very small plastic slider switch that holds the locking panel in place which bent back on itself when I tried to seal the unit.
So, now the unit is unusable until I can get a new tiny battery door to replace the one that failed.
That seems ridiculous to me.
I would highly recommend getting either the extended product warranty on purchase or picking a different unit.
The lost opportunity to use the unit is actually worth more than the unit itself.
I've contacted the vendor directly and will update this once I am informed of how they can help with this issue....
OK...So I said I would update this review when I got a response from ZOOM.
They replied to my request to repair the device and acted on this immediately.
They were prompt and professional....
I returned my device and they replaced it....with an F! that looks to have a more robust battery compartment cover.
I'm super happy with how I was treated and their prompt resolution to my issue.
The product does a great job, as I previously stated.

Only that the battery cover should be treated with care. Otherwise it will be broken. On the other hand, it’s a fantastic product for Vloggers and location-sound technicians.
