Looper question

I've been kicking around the idea of building or buying a Looper but don't have a clue on brand or price. I would 'like' a 2 or 3 channel minimum 3 min recording, entry- mid level. I see lots of them for sale on eBay and marketplace ranging from $20s upwards in the hundreds. What should I look for in brand/model, price and performance? If it's used and for sale for a reason. I'm not a pro and never will be!

They have plenty of mics for phones/tablets these days? I,ve seen them as small as an earbud, they usually plug into earphones jack? Not all of them need an interface, but a lot of them have them built inside? And yes they make them for every format? iOS android,etc.

I have an EHX 700 looper (they're about $150 new). I used it to make the video below. I like it but I'd advise everyone to try before you buy. I've know several folks who think a looper is going to make their dreams come true, then they buy it only to find out that's not what they wanted. It sounds like you're not in that category, but still... I wanted to mention it. If there's a Guitar Center or another big store near you, it might not hurt to try them out.

Wow! You got all of that out of one string, impressive! You're right I have NO delusions of being great. Hell I'd be happy with average. Is each one of your pedals a different brand Looper or are they switching units. I'm just poking around to satisfy my curiosity and possibly play around with without going overboard on price. Thanks for sharing the video.
