Purchased this portable DVD player about a year ago and finally getting to writing a review. I have been very pleased with this product and would highly recommend to anyone else. It was one of the least expensive items I found so I was worried about its performance and durability. It has not had any issues to date. The picture is really great and even when traveling on the road during sunlight my daughter can still view the picture. The battery life is good and have been able to use it off the charger for several hours. I have no issues with the sound. It comes will everything you need in order to use it in the home or on the go. The only thing I wish it came with is a carrying case. The screen has some scratches now due to normal use and we never invested in a case. I take it for what it is, a very reasonable portable unit that works perfect for entertaining our daughter.

I purchased this for my daughter about a year ago. To start everything was great. It's a pain to change out the dvd if you have it all strapped in the car, but no biggie. One good thing about this item is it does have battery. So if you are on that road trip and need to stop for gas but not drag the kids out-they can keep watching.

However, after a few months of owning it started freezing up and just stalling in the middle of the movie. Next thing you know some movies are not playing at all-so it's a guessing game of what is going to work today. Sometimes it will make it through the previews of a movie then just quit, other times we're not so lucky and the thing just won't start at all. I'm now shopping for new.

I guess for the price-you get what you pay for. It did the job for a while, but I don't think I'm going to waste my money on another Coby and time soon.

After weeks of reseach, I came across this tablet style dvd player. I was looking to purchase a dvd player for a 19 hour trip that I was taking with my 3 y.o. daughter. After reading the reviews, I decided to purchase this tablet. I absolutely LOVE IT! It's an ingenious design. It came with a bag that strapped over the seat. I was able to retrieve the player from the bag easily while driving (keeping my eyes on the road, of course :-)). When there is a glare on the screen, I'll take it out of the bag and she can easily hold it in her lap. The buttons are easy enough for my daughter to use. It came with headphones which I had to replace with some that would stay on my daughter's head, but that was it. She has dropped it several times and it keeps on ticking.

Took my chances with a bargain player. Crapped out on this one. Player worked for approx. 3 months, then became very intermittent. Would play for 2 - 5 mins. then would stop. Thanks to Amazon for assisting with the return, as the shipper of the product would not cooperate. Am going to bite the bullet and purchase a sony.

We bought this product 3 months ago and in about 2 months the picture became VERY faded, to the point where you can't even see anything now. We called and had one day before the 90 day warranty expired and it cost us $12 to ship it and we had to send them a check for $18 to ship it back to us ( A Total of $30). I thought that was pretty poor for what you have to pay for the thing and for it only being 89 days old !
