I cannot say enough about this little DVD player! My mother purchased 2 of these last Christmas for my kids and 2 others for my nieces. All are still going strong!! They have been dropped, spilled on, you name it and we have NEVER had a problem. These are an ABSOLUTE lifesaver on car trips!!!!! We have never had any problems with the length of the charge either. They have watched full length movies and then some on a single charge. I highly, highly recommend!! :)

I was able to use it without a grandchild near by. Easy to figure out what to do. Nice size. Got it before the date they said it would arrive.

The speakers aren't very good can barely hear the movies. Battery doesn't stay charged had to keep it plugged into the car charger in order to watch a movie. It started smoking while my 2 year old was watching it and needless to say it won't work now. Thought it was a good deal but should have spent a little more and got a better brand.

I purchased this to have for my young sons to use when in the car for long periods of time. Despite some reviews saying that it was not a quality product & "you get what you pay for", I have been very satisfied with this product so far. The fact that it came with the carrying case and headphones made it an even better deal!

I got this on Black Friday as a replacement portable for an upcoming trip Disney. I figured 50 bucks was a good value. Now 8 months later and this dvd player will not even hold a charge. This player boasts a 2 to 3 hour playtime...yeah for the first 2 weeks. Save your cash and buy a Sony or Phillips player instead. Even better use the money for a brand name portable and get a lowend laptop.

We were happy with the 8 inch dvd player. However the built in battery is a joke. Says that it plays up to 2 hours on battery power. You are lucky to get 30 minutes out of it. also freezes up on one of my dvd's! Now the surface could have been dirty, so I will give it the benefit of thinking that's what it was. All in all it's a good value for the money.

I bought two for my kids to watch DVD's on a 3 hour trip, according to the instructions, it should have a 2-3 hour battery life, which is NOT true. Mine only lasted 1 hour each. You can spend anouther $10-30 for a car charger but not worth it if you ever plan a airline trip. Spend a little more and go with a TRUSTED brand.

The DVD player works okay and the picture is fine, but the lack of a remote control is annoying. The directions are minimal, so we are just pressing buttons trying to figure out if the player can do things. I still haven't figured out if I can show captions without going through the DVD's menu. It was a good price for an 8" player but not the easiest to use.

We bought this dvd player for my son's as a chiristmas gift last christmas. It has worked fine. I honestly don't know how long the charge last because we always leave it plugged in in the car. No it does NOT come with a car charger but we just got an inverter(good to have anyways). It has done better than I expected. My five year old has even dropped it on the ground from a few feet up and it's still kickin'. My only complaint is that the screen falls so you can't just sit it somewhere. My son has to hold it for him and his brother to watch. I recently bought a case that mounts in your car. Well, needless to say the dvd player closes every few minutes making it a very big pain. We are in the process of looking for a new one for our vacation this week. It has served it's purpose. I recommend this if you are looking for a cheap dvd that your kids can tear up and not be upset about how expensive it was. You get what you pay for. I bought this for $50 on black friday @ walmart. Overall decent dvd player.

I have been very pleased with this DVD player. In fact, we liked it so much, we bought a replacement when our first one was stolen out of our vehicle. Note: do not leave out in the open in your car!! Not a bright idea. Anyway, for an inexpensive DVD player, it has a large 8 inch screen that has a great picture. It's very easy to operate, too. My only advice is to buy an AC/DC converter if you're plannng on using it in your car. The internal battery only lasts about 2 hours, so we just plug ours in using the power cord, and it's good to go.

There is no "Pause" function and the volume leaves a lot to be desired. Also the battery doesn't hold a charge to even complete one short movie. With only a 110vac plug-in it also is not very "portable."
