Prior to this version their products were faulty and generally very sensitive and fragile. This version seems to be less likely to fail after 50+ hours of use. HOWEVER:
The screen is very fragile and this portable DVD player obviously needs to be handled very carefully. I don't know about the rest of you, but I needed this DVD player for travel. How careful can you be to it while it is in a bookbag, backpack or purse? The company, Petters is incompetant, and inept. After three months of negotiations after returning a defective DVD player to them, they lost my address, lost the DVD player I sent back, they sent me the wrong DVD player, they never sent me return labels for the initial DVD player, and I was forced to pay for the return process!! Besides being annoying, long, tedious and tiresome, this process was irritating and unnecesary. If you for some reason need to return you DVD...Read more 80 of 83 people found the following review helpful:  Disappointed, By This review is from: Polaroid PDV-1002A Portable DVD Player with Rotat ing 10 Inch LCD Screen (Electronics) I bought this little unit for my children for Christmas, and within the first month, I would have given it five stars. At some brick-and-mortar stores you can still get the players with small screens, but when the screens are that small, any increase in size is significant. Anyway, this unit has a nice appearance, and gave us no problems when watching the DVDs.
However, after about a month and a half, the unit suddenly went dead. I tried contacting the company's on-line support, but repeated e-mails produced *NO* response. I finally called their support number, and was informed that the unit is no longer under warrantee, but that for a wee fee (about half price) they will replace the unit. So, overall, I am pretty disappointed. Will I pay for a new unit? I just don't know, that's a lot of money for 1.5 months worth of DVD watching. Overall, I do not recommend this unit. Also, if you DO get this unit, ignore the on-line support and call in right...Read more 31 of 32 people found the following review helpful:  Great bang for the buck!, By Early Adopter #716 (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews This review is from: Polaroid PDV-1002A Portable DVD Player with Rotat ing 10 Inch LCD Screen (Electronics) After a tremendous amount of research (both web & hands-on) and with extreme trepidation not buying a "named" unit.
I purchased this 3 weeks ago, primarily to entertain a young child travelling on a long trip overseas. The player has performed flawlessly while enduring multiple long flights, car rides and other events. I have been impressed with the quality & loudness of the speaker sound (although "The Wiggles" are not exactly the most robust test) as well as the brightness & clarity of the screen. I was not thrilled with the instructions regarding battery usage (aka charging times & draining the battery), but for the price and the performance, I think as consumers you have to realize that compromises are part of getting a great price. Quite frankly, the complaints of the reviewer about screen rotation & weight, while accurate in pointing out some of the product's limitations.....are, in my mind, extremely nitpicky when you are getting a 10 inch plus screen...Read more |
