    Used this player for a long distance road trip. It worked great at first but then it stopped working. Best Buy was great at returning it.

    Great Purchase

    Great buy for long trips with my two year old. The screen swivels to 180 degrees, which means you can buy a headrest car mount to mount to the front car seat. The battery is rechargeable great for those who like a cable-less environment in their car. The screen quality is beautiful and crisp. I bought the Philips 9" Portable DVD player I wasn't happy with it and returned it to purchase this one insead for all of the aforementioned reasons.

    I was looking for a portable DVD player while away from home for several months with no tv and limited internet access. This product has worked great. The disk drive is a bit noisy at times, but good picture, sound, and easy to use.

    This was my first portable DVD player, i bought a Sony at first it kept skipping and stopping it was just horrible and the remote didnt work.After I tapped it walking up my stairs it was over with. I saw insignia thought what the heck. And was pleasantly surprised. I have dropped this device like four times and no damage still plays great and doesnt even skip goes right back to were I left off. The swivel design is great and was also a surprise bonus because I thought I had broken it....its great for small children and those bumpy road trips. I give it a 5 and will be checking out more insignia products.

    The player is made out of plastic so it's doesn't have a solid feel to it, but nevertheless, it works perfectly.

    Bought this to use with my TV as well as take on trips or use at work during breaks. Easy to use and the screen quality was a lot better than I thought for a DVD player this size. Look forward to watching movies again with this!

    I have bought insignia before and like them. But I bought 2 a week apart. They skip sometimes when u push pause. My kids use them for school. And I bought them Bc I thought they would hold up better than the ones we bought from Walmart. But they didn't even last a few days.

    I purchased a portable DVD because we travel often. Chose the Insignia because it was the cheapest and it was for a 5 year old. Unfortunately, we've had horrible experiences with this brand. The 1st never played. We were on the road and had to wait until our next major city to exchange it. Best Buy is wonderful. The attendant couldn't get it to play either and exchange it with another with no problems. We checked it before leaving and this time it worked great. We owned it for 2 months and it had been use about 5 different times before it started scratching our DVDs. A complete circular scratch ruining the DVD my son was playing. More frustrated, we finally made it back to Best Buy during a new trip, we don't live near one, and had to exchange it again. This time we went with a more expensive Sony. Was not trying an Insignia again. Best Buy traded out the DVD player and gave us a movie replacement. Don't recommend the DVD player, but LOVE Best Buy!
