4.0 out of 5 stars It works for me
I have used this product for 2 1/2 years. I have 4 children who take it on every trip; watch it in the car, on planes, on boats, wherever. It has been used/abused and keeps on working just fine. The battery lasts about 3 hours before needing recharging. The car adaptor works well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Played one DVD before dying
Our Mintek MDP-1810 portable DVD player played one DVD before it died. The motor started making strange rubbing noises, and the display started blinking.

The one DVD it managed to play sure looked good -- the picture was sharp, and contrast and color were terrific. I just wish it still worked. Its replacement will come from a more reputable manufacturer...

1.0 out of 5 stars Stopped working...., October 13, 2005

This review is from: Mintek MDP-1810KIT Portable DVD Player with 8-Inch LCD (Electronics)
I bought this DVD player for my husband and son for the car. I watched one DVD. My brother watched two DVDs during a car trip that we took to meet family. When he tried to load another DVD half way through the trip, it wouldn't load any more. We tried several different DVDs, even called the manufacturer for help. The manufacturer suggested that we try cleaning it, trying an audio CD, etc. None of these suggestions worked.

I will be returning this DVD, and purchasing another brand.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as it looks, January 20, 2005
This review is from: Mintek MDP-1810KIT Portable DVD Player with 8-Inch LCD (Electronics)
I bought this player from Costo for $199.00. It came with a carrying case, car charger and 2 headphones. But the player only played 1 DVD, and never worked again. I am returning it for a refund.

I've had this DVD player now for 6 months. Based on the recommendation of two family members, who also purchased this product, I bought this player and have had no problems with it. Nor has my family.

1.0 out of 5 stars Oh Dear!!, September 18, 2005
This review is from: Mintek MDP-1810KIT Portable DVD Player with 8-Inch LCD (Electronics)
I'll definitely be sticking with Brand names from now on. I've used this unit 3 times and now it won't load the DVD. That's nearly $200 down the drain. To it's credit, when it worked it was great. Good picture and good sound. I only wish I had seen the reviews on this product first as I'd never have bought it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent for the price, January 2, 2006
By 
This review is from: Mintek MDP-1810KIT Portable DVD Player with 8-Inch LCD (Electronics)
I have had mine about 2 years. It works great. Yes, the speakers are weak in a large area, but a set of computer speakers fix that problem. I have had a few loading problems, but they are recorded DVD's. I usually just reload and it works fine. I have used it in the car, on airplane trips and at work. We watch between patients, sometimes it takes 4 hours to watch a less than 2 hour movie, and it will keep our place in the pause mode. This is a great function. I love mine

1.0 out of 5 stars Player is unreliable - do not buy!, December 26, 2005
This review is from: Mintek MDP-1810KIT Portable DVD Player with 8-Inch LCD (Electronics)
The player does not always load the DVD's. And it never fails that part way during the movie, it will stop playing, get stuck on a scene, and never start again. It is completely unreliable. Sadly, I did not start having serious problems with it until after the warranty was up. I've only had it 6 months and it is very frustrating that it was such a waste of money.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mintek MDP-1810KIT Portable DVD Player with 8-Inch LCD (Electronics)
I just read the negative reviews of his product and I'm perplexed. I've had mine for over a year now, watched lots of dvds on it. Excellent video and audio. When viewing pics they are stretched out sideways a bit, but other than that, it's been an awesome little DVD player for the price. I guess you can get a lemon once in awhile, but I'm satisfied with my purchase.
