Main controls are flaky

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Not a bad value; image and audio are decent; swivel is a nice addition.
Cons DVD cursor controls (forward, backward, etc.) on main unit appear to be flaky.
Recommended it? No

I echo some of the issues raised by another reviewer. Overall, it is a good DVD Player with decent image quality and straight-forward design. But I had problems with the DVD cursor controls (on the main unit), so I could not advance, go backward, etc., unless I restarted the system. And sometimes,... Read full review »

Pros Nice unit while it was working.
Cons Dies, from overheating i believe.
Recommended it? No

Bought mine at Sams Club and it quit working just after warranty was up. Search the web for reviews of polaroid products if you want to see where this company has become. You are buying inferior quality chinese products with the polaroid name slapped on. (I believe some decent products may come... Read full review »

Pros great for my grandchildren entertainment, especially in the car.
Cons We seems to be the only three whom purchase this product.

I purchased player, about 18 months ago from Circuit City. At the time, it had a $20 rebate. The original cost was $119. ($99) It was a Mother's day gift.



Up until it died my experience with it was good. It may have only lasted ~18 months b/c it was not a daily used item The... Read full review »

Not worth the money

Pros good picture, easy to use, light
Cons Poor Sound, Doesn't last
Recommended it? No

This is an inferior product. I had this for a little over 4 months and it just died for not apparent reason. The DVD no longer wanted to turn. A burned out motor I presumed so I contacted Polaroid about it and received no help. They stated that they could replace it for a fee of $95. So now I am... Read full review »

Pros Swivel Screen
Cons Price.
Recommended it? No

I bought one of these, took it home, played it using a brand new DVD and it worked for less than 30 minutes. After that, it wouldn't work at all. Took it back to the store and exchanged it for the exact same one... BOOM! It would keep skipping till it went out. Don't let the sale prices fool you!... Read full review »

Cons Its' brain(computer). A very serious problem. No timer on the rechargeable battery.
Recommended it? No

I just got this on sale at Best Buy for $129.99($159.98 with 2year bestbuy warranty).

Very first DVD I put in, "I, Robot", I noticed something weird. It turns out the audio and video wasn't matching. When the characters talked, it looked like an badly dubbed kungfu movie. It did that... Read full review »

Pros An expensive boat anchor.
Cons An expensive boat anchor.
Recommended it? No

I had a couple cheaper model DVD players which didn't last more than a year each. I thought I'd upgrade to this DVD player, which turned out an expensive mistake. It started off not playing certain DVDs, and over a short period of time, wouldn't play any DVDs. Total use from this unit was less than... Read full review »
