3.0 out of 5 stars Great for traveling light!, August 31, 2004

This Mintek 5" portable DVD player has its drawbacks. Its small screen is best for individual viewing (two people, at most), the sound is thin, and its minimalist controls are awkward to use. However, this little machine has traveled everywhere with us without trouble. At a slim 5"x 5", not much bigger than a disc, this player can be tossed in a backpack or carry-on suitcase without taking much space. It comes with a car adaptor, a battery and charger, and a cord for household current. The battery life tends to last about one movie, so I tend to use it mostly with the car or the AC/DC adaptor even though running it off battery power performs just as well. The mechanism seems a little flimsy, especially compared to the full-size player I'm used to, so I don't recommend putting this in the hands of rough little ones. (My teenager has no trouble using it.)

For a relatively inexpensive and lightweight DVD player, the Mintek does its job.

the battery doesn't last through a whole movie. pretty much have to use the car adaptor, works better that way. Even after using the ac adaptor it still doesn't play the movie without skipping (disc are clean). I wouldn't recommend this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay Away!, December 2, 2004

I bought this item around the holiday season for my wife. Around August we used it for the first time and were pleased with it and started to use it regularly. After a month of use, the screen one day just shut down. It will not work. I called the company and they informed me that while the product was under warranty the labor is not. They said the labor cost is $90. Considering the fact that the whole player only cost me $105, this is an outrage. They are a cheap junky company, who is looking to make a quick buck at no cost.
