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

By	Debbie Lee Wesselmann (the Lehigh Valley, PA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great buy for the price, December 6, 2004

By	Michael J. Marcinkus "The Commish" (Itasca, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yes, the screen is small, but that's also the appeal. A portable DVD player isn't so portable if the screen is 7 or 8 inches and it comes with a huge bag for carrying everything. I can hold this 5" Mintek in an old Discman case, so it easily fits into a backpack or carry-on for travel.

I've watched several movies at just under 2 hours and had no problems with the battery (I haven't tested it to see if it goes the full 2.5 hrs as advertised). I never had any problems with skipping or the battery dying prematurely.

I even used it a couple times as a DVD player on a larger tv and it works great. I have also played many CD's on it. The thing I like best is that any cables/adaptors you could possibly need are included.

Sure, the units 2 and 3 times more expensive are likely better in quality, but in terms of quality for the dollar, I'm very happy with the Mintek 5860.

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of time and money, October 31, 2004

By	S. A. Meade - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
