Linda, Preston,Lancashire , “Works hard,loves sleep.”

+ It was just what i wanted.I can take it anywhere,even to work and watch my DVDs in my breaks.The Picture quality is brilliant considering it hasn'y got a very large screen.

- The sound quality isn't the best,slightly tinny and isn't very loud when on full volume.

Rachel, Hucknall

+ Well designed and an excellent choice for the price.

- Poor battery life. To watch an average length film it needs to be plugged in to the mains!

+ Excellent little machine, very easy to use, dont need to use the remote control for all the functions, which you need to for some of them.

- Doesnt come with an in car charger! Which is very strange since most people will use these on the road! The battery life is about 3 hours but you cant watch and charge at the same time.

+ Was easy to use, didn't actually need it in the car but took it on holiday as TV signal bad where we were staying. Can be used from the mains but doesn't charge the battery whilst in play mode on the mains. This isn't a problem though as does charge up quite quickly and plays for the length of a standard film before freezing.
Excellent value for money if you want a basic no-frills portable dvd that just does the job well.

+ Excellent purchase - my five year old can use it with or without the remote very easily. It is very sturdy which is essential when being manhandled by a child! Good picture quality and the sound is good for the price too athough better with headphones. Would not hesitate to buy again.

- Doesn't come with a car mounting case, although I got a decent one from Amazon that fitted ok for under ten pounds delivered. They are pretty standard sizes.
