It was in full flames within seconds of getting IT and MY SON out of the car. It held up well, in my opinion, considering it was being used by a toddler. I had owned this very model already and liked it. I've since researched battery hazards with some Coby products. I decided to purchase another one as we would be traveling. With two weeks of use and it working fine this unit starting popping and hissing and filling my car with smoke, right in front of my 3 year old son as he was strapped in his car seat (it was mounted on the front seat headrest with the included holder). We are fine but the vehicle headrest is singed in three parts and the player is of course ruined and covered in fire extinguisher residue. I am contacting the seller and manufacturer today and will update my review after that.
Worked good for 4 months. Overnight the player just decided that it would not read discs. 90 day warranty. NO GOOD.
I thought I'd try a new brand with competitive pricing. bad move.This product has many flaws.1) Rattles and vibrates loudly when in use.2) DVD menu doesn't work on certain discs. This is intermittent.3) Picture quality is poor.I'm stickin' to Sony or Panasonic.
I got this for my, then 4 year old son, who is now 6 and he still has it. The sound is good and the swivel feature gives you options to attach it to the back of a seat so it can be off the lap. We use it mainly for long distance trips and sometimes he'll use it at home to watch a movie by himself. The controls are easy to use, I taught him how to work it when he was 4 and he never had a problem with it. The picture quality is really good, adequate for a coby. I wouldn't buy a child a Sony or any other expensive brand but this Coby hasn't given me a reason to even want to.
But it broke on us after 10 months of use. It is another waste for the planet. I had this for a year. I will see the warranty conditions now.Well this and other coby products have 90 days warranty. So maybe it does the job for the money.I keep editing my review because coby still keeps going. You have to think what you get for the price. Company makes cheap products that wont last much.
DVD player from sony is 150 usd and that should last more than a year I hope. It is not perfect but does the job. I am determined now I will buy brandname from now on. Cheap product that last short time. This tells it all. Strange but after I wrote this review the unit started to work again. I would reccomend it afterall
