I'll throw in my two cents for the Boomerang.  I just bought mine a couple
weeks ago and am head over heels in love with the thing.  It's so easy to
use I'm pretty sure my cat could figure it out if only he played an
instrument.  I've heard complaints in the past about sound quality and
noise, but I have no complaints.  Granted, it's not pristine, but this by
no means lessens it's value in my opinion.  For the money, I think you'd
be hard pressed to find a more enjoyable looper.

Brief feature list:
 - max of 2 minutes loop length in HiFi, 4 minutes in LoFi 
 - infinite layering of overdubs
 - foot roller to control volume of loop output (effectively the mix)
 - playback/record in reverse

So there's my two cents.  Give one a try. :)
