Its OK for the money-but
It was advertised as multi region 1-6 but it would not play European DVDs. I bought it as a gift for a friend in Europe thinking it would be perfect for the region. The biggest issue I had with it was that the item clearly was not new. Scratches, screen protective plastic unstuck half way. After I checked it thoroughly I decided to keep it anyway as it would have been too much trouble to go thru the return process and I didn't have the time as it most likely would take weeks to get it back. Don't get this one! If you are buying a portable DVD player, don't get this one. It stopped working within 1 month of getting it. The motor for the spinner stopped working, and it would not even recognize that I put a DVD in. Also, even before that, it wouldn't play many of my DVD's. It behaved as if they were all scratched up, even brand new ones. All of my DVDs play just fine on any other DVD player. Plus, I had a brand new DVD that I tried to play on it (first time watching it), and it scratched up part of it so bad, that I can't watch the last 15 minutes on any DVD player. Don't buy this DVD player, the Polaroid like it is much better. I had one for over two years before the battery stopped working well and I tried to replace it with this one. I now have another Polaroid one that I have no problems with. I only gave this player 1 star, because I couldn't give it zero stars. Use and Discard - Disposable product! Initial impression was good product. Now I wish there were an option to give 0 stars. It died just after before end of 90 days of warranty after normal usage (lasted for around 10 movie views). Shows "No Disk" error. Customer service says that after 90 days it is all your problem and recommend to buy a new one! Sorry no more Coby products. Buy a product with 1 year warranty from a better brand. Returned Two I had to return two faulty DVD players. One would freeze frame the picture and the audio would keep on playing. The replacement DVD player kept saying "Wrong Disc" and was very very loud when it would actually play a disc. I ended up having to search and find a different DVD player all together because they wouldn't replace the 2nd faulty product. (Which was packaged inappropriately and possibly damaged in shipment). Good While it Lasted This player worked pretty well for 8 months and I used it a lot. I was a little annoyed by the humm it made while playing a movie. My husband says I am too sensitive to noise and calls me "bat ears" though so maybe it wouldn't bother most people. The real problem is the one mentioned by others: it konked out after 8 months and started giving me the "no disk" and "wrong disk" messages. We bought the extended warranty and NEW sent us a check for $119 without any hassle. But now I have to buy a new one and have been without it for 3 weeks already. Why can't someone make one of these things that will last? | |
