Customer Rating:
Summary: Good player for the money
Comment: This player does everything it claims. I especially needed a standalone player that could handle all the "burned" DVDs that pass through my house, and it certainly does that just fine. My only complaint, in fact, is that Coby players seem to be incompatible with all the universal remote controllers on the planet.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A champ in its price range
Comment: Possibly useful advice: use the remote control as much as you can, avoid touching the buttons if you can. This is a VERY cheap machine, built cheaply of cheap parts. Do not expect it to be solidly built. However, if you minimize physical contact it could serve you well for a long, long time.
Evaluation:
___________________________________________________
+ It's inexpensive
+ Seems to be playing all DVD's without failure
+ Nice remote control, batteries included
- I can't think of any, given the low price
___________________________________________________
It's not happening often to me but, this little box performance did exceed my expectations.
We have a 9-10 yr. old 27" TV in the bedroom and we have no intention of replacing it because it does what it's expected to do - help me fall asleep while watching C-Span or maybe a Columbo episode or something of that kind. Up until now, we had problems with various DVD players, some more sophisticated than others, but all demanding that we clean our DVD's and, in many instances, refusing to play some even after repeated cleaning.
I am happy to state that this little [...] player is playing ALL the DVD's I've thrown at it so far, including those that its predecessor, a relatively expensive machine that I threw into the trash after less than 2 years of service, refused to recognize. I've been using its even cheaper [...] cousin for 4-5 months now and it hasn't failed me once yet.
As far as features... well... it plays DVD's. It has stop, fast forward/backward, pause... does it really matter? The remote control is not very well designed but, again, it works well.
Since I'm getting this for the price of a book, it's getting 5 star because it meets and it exceeds my VERY LOW expectations. In the [...] price range, this machine is a champ.
Customer Rating:
Summary: was a present & it's evil!
Comment: This thing actual scratches my DVDs! I have to hit it to make it unfreeze (which my toddler thinks is funny, but I don't). It's getting worse all the time! I've been toughing it out because it was a present and plays VCDs. (and I'm poor) I'm tired of it. This thing is actually an expense the way it damages DVDs!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great DVD Player,Great Price!!
Comment: After using most inexpensive DVD players, you realize after 10 minutes why it didn't cost a lot. Not the case with this one. A great LED display, anice Credit Card remote and easy functions. A great product for your room, the dorm room or the kids room!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Read this review before you purchase.
Comment: I was thrilled to find this little beauty. Everything I was looking for in a DVD player and at an unbeatable price to boot. I ordered two. They worked great... for about a month. After a month's usage, one started to lock up and not work very well. Over the next couple of weeks it got progressively worse until it finally died altogether. The second player lasted slightly longer, about 3 months. I should have listened to the reviewers. Hopefully you'll listen to me.
