THOUGHT I got a great deal! Ha!

When I saw this for $99 at K-Mart last year, I thought I had found the answer to our almost-1-year-old son's hatred of car trips. It felt pretty cheap & flimsy, but worked well, and played everything we put in it (even library DVDs that were pretty beat up), but the power cord connection was ALWAYS loose. Then about 3 months ago, it quit working completely--the AC adaptor didn't work, the battery charger didn't work, nothing. Luckily, my brother-in-law is an electronics wiz, and he was able to get it working again in about 5 hours of fiddling (and I didn't have to pay the $59 repair fee--plus shipping--Cyberhome quoted). However, our last car trip last week was IT. Every time we went over a tiny bump in the road, the cord fell out. I'm looking for a new DVD player again!`

Wish we would have chosen a different brand

We left all our cords and adapter on an airplane and they couldn't find them, so we tried to find a new adapter to hook it up in the car and no place around had one that would fit. Lots of places sold some that fit most DVD players but not this one. So we went to the Cyberhome webiste and with shipping it cost $55 just for the one adapter, I felt that was rediculously over priced. The average price of the adapter that fit most other DVD players was only $15. Next time we get a DVD player I will makes sure we can easily find new accessories to fit it so we don't have to spend a fortune.

PIECE OF CRAP

This is the biggest piece of junk I'v ever bought..I took it back 2 days after Xmas to KMArt (where I bought it from) and they tell me "no exchanges" even tho it's defective. I am going to go 'raise cane' in order to get an exchange, but don't buy Cyberhome unless you don't intend to use it. The battery has to be taken out and even tho the unit is off it still uses juice so you hav to keep charging it. Then when you go to take the battery(s) out, the door feels like it will break. Total crap. I hav done some research and Memorex seems to have a good product for about the same price range. Wish me luck.
