 bought for my 6 yr old March 9, 2010
W. Ross (naples, italy)
I bought this is as boredom buster for my 6 yr old. this is her second in 3 years. it is very portable and easy to use, however it seems a liitle cheap with the plastic casing. so far its been fine but it feels like it could break easily. the screen is a little small but then again that is the size it came in. overall, its been a great second potable dvd and its better than the first.
 Good product March 4, 2010

This DVD player has lasted the longest of any we bought for our handicapped son! He really abuses dvd players, but this one has taken the punishment and is still going strong. We will buy another if and when the time comes!
 Good and Basic...sometimes retro. February 26, 2010

I bought this player from Amazon. first one bought in the portable category; well within my disposition of spending money on this item solely for my two-year old, who was taking over our main tv with her videos; also for traveling purposes.
It was a good idea to purchase such a player and the child really loved it.
Pros:
good picture quality
portable
decent battery life.
cons: things I found annoying:
the power switch is really hard to move to position. You must use your nail to turn off/on
the DVD door is flimsy, very thin plastic.
When you open de DVD door, most of the time the disk is still gyrating quite fast. you must stop it.
No R/C
Charging only happens when the player is off.
The worst: the presence of a volume dial instead of buttons for this function; its hard to find and operate...this is totally retro.
nevermind the rest...recently it fell and the screen shattered rendering the artifact useless...
to buy or not....buy it because its cheap...i wont repeat.
Good quality at an affordable price February 24, 2010
Maria K. Hair (San Diego, Ca United States)
I bought this for my short stinct in the hospital last fall. Amazon's price was more affordable that those on sale at major retail stores. It plays all of our DVDs and CDs quite well and we have not had any problem with it. Battery life and volume is ok, but I didn't have high expectations since it IS a portable unit. Unit is very simple to use, does not have any glare problems, and is light weight. Overall we are very satisfied with it.
Works well, good price, short battery life February 15, 2010

I bought this so my wife could use her yoga dvds while traveling. It works fine for this purpose, is easy to use and reasonably light. It has internal speaker so you don't need to use headphones. The price in relation to the desired functionality was excellent. The only negative I would see for some buyers is the relatively short battery life, but that comes with the low price and was a non-issue in my purchase decision.
