Summary: Important info if you want to use this product abroad
Review: I bought this player elsewhere for a trip to the UK and had to return it same day - the transformer is 110v-120v only so you can't recharge the battery in Europe where the voltage is 220-240v. Not all brands are the same. I found the same problem on an Audiovox model but the Apex model I looked at was Ok 110-240v.
If it is important to you to be able to use the product abroad I would recommend checking each product before you buy (although Amazon does not currently seem to give this info in their technical specs).
P.S. the rating is arbitrary, I didn't get further than a quick look at the player - seemed ok although the motor was a bit noisy.

Summary: Not as good as it looks
Review: I bought this player from Costo for $199.00. It came with a carrying case, car charger and 2 headphones. But the player only played 1 DVD, and never worked again. I am returning it for a refund.

Summary: Played one DVD before dying
Review: Our Mintek MDP-1810 portable DVD player played one DVD before it died. The motor started making strange rubbing noises, and the display started blinking.

The one DVD it managed to play sure looked good -- the picture was sharp, and contrast and color were terrific. I just wish it still worked. Its replacement will come from a more reputable manufacturer.
