 Completely unreliable, but good when it works Strengths: Good DVD playback, nice controls, good battery life
Weaknesses: Motors burn out easily, sometimes failing right out of the box
Summary: This seems like a good idea at first, and was really quite a bargain before Craig raised the price 70 USD. (They no longer offer it, and no wonder. I got the first one at a 25% discount off the original price, because of a holiday sale, which reduced the sting somewhat, but read on.) It had decent speakers, a great screen, and was good for road trips or visits to relatives who didn't have TVs in the spare kid's room. Where it falls down is this: the drive motor for the DVD spindle isn't reliable. I've bought two of these, and the first one burned out after four months. The second one (bought at the new, inflated price) was dead right out of the box. A rep from the retailer where I purchased the second unit told me they'd had a lot of returns on it, and my investigations have shown that the unit, overall, wasn't a success. You might find some remaindered at various retail depots, and I suggest you stay away from this particular unit. It's just not worth the trouble, even at the original price.
