Initially I was happy with this item. Decent picture quality and sound for our needs (travel entertainment for child on long trips). Beware of the swivel! Though it does turn all the way around, I'd advise against it. After less than 5 months, ours stopped working in the first hour of an eight hour drive. Brother is an electronics geek so he took it apart. Wires were shredded in the swivel mechanism. I'll stick with the better brand names from now on.

Ownership: 1 year

8.5" fold & swivel widescreen

Pros:
-Lightweight
-Good picture, good resolution
-Play almost everything
-It comes with many accessories you need. Cassette adapter, earphones, car cigarette adapter, etc.
-Swivel screen is pretty convenient. You can fold it flat on itself to only show the screen
-Comes with a rechargeable battery. It is flat and sits at the bottom of the unit.
-My unit comes with a power adapter that is small & light. Input is 100-240V which works in many countries.

Cons:
-The rechargeable battery can easily get loose and detached while in use

We have dropped it from a sofa (15 in) to hard floor while playing and still working good.

We have had this portable dvd player for a year now. We use it for longer car rides and keep it plugged into the charger while driving. It has excellent picture quality and the volume is loud enough. We never have to turn the sound up all the way. It plays burned dvd's and also came with a handy case that straps to the back of the seat headrest. Many of the other players did not come with this feature or they had to be purchased separately. I was skeptical buying Coby at first, but now I am glad I didn't spend the extra money for a brand name. With most electronics like this, we only use them for about 5 years anyway. Then, my hubbie wants to buy something else they have come out with that is "better"! LOL
