Fragile Product by inept company
This DVD player is a better version of the Petters Company products. Prior to this version their products were faulty and generally very sensitive and fragile. This version seems to be less likely to fail after 50+ hours of use. HOWEVER:
The screen is very fragile and this portable DVD player obviously needs to be handled very carefully. I don't know about the rest of you, but I needed this DVD player for travel. How careful can you be to it while it is in a bookbag, backpack or purse?

Polaroid PDV-1002A Portable DVD Player
I bought this product to take with us on a family trip. Pro's: It is compact, and easily portable. The rotating screen can rotate all the way around and then fold flat against the DVD player, allowing it to be hung from/between car seats for easy viewing. Picture quality is great! Drawbacks: The battery did not last as long as the three hours it boasted, so my son was not able to watch his entire DVD on the plane ride. Also, it needs a protective case to avoid being dropped, scratched, or damage...

Very Happy with this purchase
I feel it is *Superb* Value for Money.
The LCD was remarkably bright and crisp even in daylight. Had no problem playing recordable DVD's.
Very good volume, can hear clearly from several feet away. Built in tiny speakers have very practically no bass of course, but the treble is crystal clear.
Included Remote, Carrying-case that straps to a car head-rest, car-power adapter are all bonuses.
The battery pack is almost the size of a paperback, and larger ...

One of the best purchases I've made
I've had mine for almost a year and I LOVE IT! I looked at a lot of portable DVD players before buying it, many of them much more expensive, but what sold me on this one was the size of the screen. Once I starting using it, I found it had many other features that I really like - the rotating screen, two earphone jacks, AV in and out. Because it was less expensive than the others, I thought the picture quality might not be that good, but it's excellent.
A previous reviewer complaine...

Nice price tag for a 10" screen portable DVD
I have been looking for weeks on good bargain for portable DVD on the Internet and found this at Amazon a week before the trip to LA. I love the holder that come with it and the remote control. You can fold it and hang it nicely behind the head rest. The picture quality is awesome and amazing viewing angle. It does not come with headphone so I have to make seperate purchase. Very satisfy and good bargain for 10 inch screen

Second Unit Returned Today
The first unit worked about 4 weeks. Returned it to the store for a different unit. Today, which is 10 days later, I will return the second unit too. It gets stuck at "loading" after I pop in a DVD disk and spin forever. Two units but same problem.

Exellent for price and size
I bought this from circuit city for $279. You can't beat the size and price. I have tried other players -toshiba, audiovox, durabrand, philipps. 7" is just too small. Audiovox picture was too bright and washed out colors. The toshiba was too dark but better colors. The picture is actually very good on the Polaroid. Ofcourse the panasonic and sony are better but you would have to spend a lot more money. Just make sure to get the extended warranty. It seems that any DVD player has a good chance of...

Great picture; poor sound
I have had this for over a year now. I haven't used the battery, and I don't "travel" with it. I use it in the house & for the backyard. The picture is great. There are times the lid does not catch properly. The biggest problem is the volume does not go high enough. Often I read the subtitles since I cannot get the volume any higher. I use it almost every day and it is pretty reliable. I have been pleased with the product except for the sound.

Great bang for the buck!
After a tremendous amount of research (both web & hands-on) and with extreme trepidation not buying a "named" unit.
I purchased this 3 weeks ago, primarily to entertain a young child travelling on a long trip overseas. The player has performed flawlessly while enduring multiple long flights, car rides and other events.
I have been impressed with the quality & loudness of the speaker sound (although "The Wiggles" are not exactly the most robust test) as well as the brightness & clarit...

Disappointed
I bought this little unit for my children for Christmas, and within the first month, I would have given it five stars. At some brick-and-mortar stores you can still get the players with small screens, but when the screens are that small, any increase in size is significant. Anyway, this unit has a nice appearance, and gave us no problems when watching the DVDs.
However, after about a month and a half, the unit suddenly went dead. I tried contacting the company's on-line support, but r...
