You don't need to buy it from amazon, but generally enough people have 
that there will be a good range of reviews from people using it in 
different ways.  After reading a couple of pages of comments it usually 
becomes quite obvious if there are problems with the features you are 
interested in.

Also check the "What people buy after looking at this page" section, it 
seems to me like bad reviews certainly affect what people buy.

Is the recorder you have listed on amazon?  If it is then I'd definitely 
leave a review highlighting the points you mentioned here - you'll get a 
much bigger audience and actually influence future purchasers.  You 
didn't even mention the make/model number here, so how are we meant to 
avoid it :-)
