I've has several personal DVD players. I am not rough on them, but I do
enjoy bringing them along when I road trip or travel. None of them have
been as sturdy as this little gadget! Since this DVD player was made for a child, it is made to endure rough traveling. It fell off my desk (onto a carpeted floor) but CONTINUED playing the DVD without a skip or hesitation! I've had this player for two months, and it has withstood everyday use and plays DVD's without a problem. The screen may be small, but people are watching their iPod's nano-screens, and this is a IMax screen in comparison! 4.5 inches is DIAGONAL. The widescreen dimensions are lovely when watching a widescreen DVD. The picture quality is pretty good, but there could be more options for color on the player. Overall, this is an excellent DVD player and hold up well for travel. |
I wanted a player for my 7 year old daughter and thought I'd give this one a try since it was designed with kids in mind and was in our budgeted range (cheap!). I've been very impressed with the unit.
Included in the box was the player, an ac adapter, a car adapter, a battery pack that doubles as a table stand, a remote with batteries, stereo headphones, and a carrying case.
I've used the player with DVDs, music CDs, and picture CDs and it works fine with all of them. From what I've been able to determine, it only displays wide screen mode, so some of the pictures and movies seem stretched, but that hasn't bothered my daughter at all.
Battery life lasted about 2 hours with video, about 2.5 hours with video off (listening to music).
The only cons that I've noticed with the unit, other than the inability to turn off the wide screen video:
1)The carrying case does not work to mount the unit on a headreast in the car. It is totally enclosed and is strictly for carrying the unit around. The power adapters do not fit in the carrying case with the unit.
2) The screen does well when looking at it from different angles from the sides, but you quickly lose the image when you look at it more from the top or bottom.
3) Several other players that I tried would pick up where you left off in a movie when the unit was restarted - I couldn't find that feature on this one.
4) Typical of all cheap portable players, the sound through the speakers isn't good - though it is louder than any of the other players I tried. Sound quality through the headphones is great and it even sounded excellent when I hooked it up to decent quality computer speakers.
Overall, I am very pleased with this player. I seems very durable compared to the other units I tried and is great for keeping kids entertained in the car on on an airplane. The screen is small at 4.5", but its image is as good as the larger units I tried. This unit is small enough that kids can just hold it in their hands - though a car mount would have been a nice feature. The unit is not much larger than a portable music CD player, though it is thicker and heavier due to the large battery. If you're looking for an inexpensive DVD player, I highly recommend this unit

This is a great product for kids which is the purpose I bought it for. My three year old Grandson can easily navigate its controls and it is rugged enough to withstand reasonable child handling. I comes with the necessary accessories plus a handy carrying bag. I am completly satisfied with this product.
