Customers are saying

Customers love the product's exceptional ease of use, strong overall performance, and attractive price point. They also appreciate its compact size, lightweight design, impressive speed, and quiet operation, along with its convenient USB-only power and broad compatibility. The only notable concern raised by customers is the requirement for separate software when using it with a Mac.

    I've watched 4 or 5 movies with it so far and have had no problems. Plug it into the usb and play. Easy. Have not tried it as a CD player yet.

    It does work well and I burned CDs on it just fine. It works on my Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10 computers/lap tops. I just wish it was faster at burning. Good purchase overall.

    After buying a new MacBook Pro, I realized that my wife needed to burn music CD's for Ice Skating competitions. For the price, this unit does exactly what I need. The only drawback is the top cover cosmetic layer is peeling, no big deal.

    I got this on sale and I needed it because my very old laptop's DVD player wasn't working right. The setup was easy and in a few minutes I was able to use it. No complaints.
