Does not work

Bought the Dual 4.2" 16:9 Widescreen Portable DVD Player with In-Car Mounting System - Model: XDVD110 at Best Buy for 89.99. Never worked and had to return it. Best Buy would not even offer a warranty for player except a 4-year $99 one that was more than the cost of the player.

Bad Quality...constantly failing. Go with a Brand Name

I bought this product thinking that I was getting a good deal for the price. Now I understand why the deep discount. It's JUNK. Don't buy it.

It worked well for the first 2 trips, then it started freezing up. It starts out unable to read/load discs, and when it finally does read a disc, it simply freezes the screen every 15 minutes. NOT something you want to happen on long car rides with an infant.

This item should be marked down to $20. It's WORTHLESS. Next time, I buy a Sony, or another brand name. Companies that build electronics that last for years, not days.

Unit Failed On The 2nd Day Of Ownership

I had this unit for exactly 2 days when it started overheating, and freezing any DVD I put in it. I'm not sure if I got a faulty one, or if they are all junk, but I still wouldn't buy it again. Needless to say, I returned it back to Amazon.

The build quality is middle grade at best. If you ever dropped it, a lot of pieces would probably break off, since it is totally made of plastic.

At first I thought, at this price, you couldn't expect great build quality. I was wrong. After I returned this nightmare, I bought the COBY TF-DVD7050 (available on this site). It was 30 dollars cheaper, and was extremely well built. It has metal parts, and some of it is constructed of high grade rubber. I was totally shocked. I never thought COBY was capable of building such a great unit. The Coby even has a battery, which the Dual doesn't have.
Anyway, here is bottom line. Don't waste your money on this unit. Save yourself 30 bucks, and get the far superior COBY TF-DVD7050.
