 piece of junk June 26, 2008

This dvd player worked for about 10 DVD's then just died. What a waste of money. Wouldn't buy any GoVideo products again.
Product STINKS! January 23, 2008
Have two of these pieces of ?%^$#@# and neither works. Quality of parts are substandard and break easily. Neither unit has been outside my home. The fist unit quit working after two DVD's were played on it. The idea is great but this company simply doesn't care about providing a quality product!
Nice out of box, terrible quality July 10, 2006

This DVD player looks great on paper and worked great for us...for about 20 videos of use. It just stopped working. I have read many other user reviews (mostly on CNET.com) of product failure. Think twice before choosing this poor quality machine.
 Good value June 21, 2006

I bought this for my son in 2004 and it does the job nicely. He doesn't care about hi-fidelity, so sound and picture quality isn't an issue. He has dropped the player a few times, but it survived. Overall I'm happy with it. It comes in handy when one kid wants to watch one show and the other wants to watch a movie.
Good when it works April 21, 2006

I had this for 6 months before it stopped working in the middle of a movie. Wouldn't work at all. I called customer service and, after repeated attempts, eventually got through to them. To say that they weren't helpful would be a huge understatement, they actually directed me to buy a lens cleaner to see if that was the problem. It wasn't. They then told me it would be over $100 to repair. Instead, I opened it up myself and manually "fixed" it in about 5 minutes. Now it works great. br /Will never buy from Go Video again though.
