Rating: - Great quality for the price
After much agonizing about the cost of portable dvd players, we found this one at an amazing price. With some hesitation, based on reviews and lack of familiarity with this brand, we bought one prior to a recent 3-hour airplane trip with our three year old daughter. We were pleasantly surprised with the picture and sound quality (especially at this price!), and the battery lasted exactly a full three hours. And, despite a bumpy flight and an even bumpier 1-hour ride to our destination, we didn't experience one skip or problem. The only thing that was even slightly disappointing is that the battery doesn't "lock" onto the unit very securely and is potentially left dangling by the plug. Not a problem, considering that our usage will be occasional, just something we had to be aware of when we were picking the unit up or moving it. Also, be aware of the fact that this unit doesn't come with headphones. The other accessories are all there, though - car adapter, battery charger, cables to hook up to TV, etc. Sure, we would have felt more comfortable with a name brand like Panasonic or Toshiba, but at this price, this little machine was wonderful for our purposes. We've been very pleased so far!

Rating: - No problems so far
I wanted to put a quick note out there because of all of the negative reviews that I read about this player (mostly dealing with problems of it freezing up or failing to work). I received mine from Amazon on 2/5/04. Hopefully, the more recently shipped machines have addressed many of the problems that seemed to plague earlier buyers. All I know is that mine has worked flawlessly.

I took it on a plane trip with me for a weeklong visit to Whistler. So far I've watched about 6 movies on it. Mostly with it hooked to an outlet, but did watch one on battery. Still had batterly life left after one movie, but I can't comment on how much of a second I would have been able to watch.

As other reviewers have noted - the player comes with about everything you need - car adapter, RCA cables to attach to a TV, remote control, etc. Unfortunately for me, the TV in the hotel did not have RCA jacks so I was forced to watch movies on the 7" screen. It's definitely not as good as a full size TV, but you kind of forget how small it is as you get involved in the movie.

For what its worth, I'm a recent purchaser that hasn't had any problems with the machine.

Rating: - 1-year and still going
I purchased this model for my daughter for Christmas 2003 and we've had no problems. It works as well as the day I purchased it. However, I suggest you purchase the warranty, just in case. These items can be fragile. I'm going to purchase the same model as a Christmas present for my niece this year.
