Sylvania SDVD7015-Blue 7-Inch Portable DVD Player, Blue

This dvd player is pretty good. I bought it a year ago to fly with my 2 little boys and it has held up. We also used it at home to watch DVDs in place of a tv, so it gets alot of use, wear and tear. IT has been dropped, spilled on, crumbs all over and it still works. actually, I thought it died a month ago and I went back to just make sure before I ordered another one and it was working again! horray! Picture is good, easy access to controls on side, long (enough) battery life I think about 2 hours. and I'm pretty sure it charges while you play the movie, so if it does die in the airport, you can plug it in and still have your little ones watching while you charge.

We've only been using this product for 2 months now, but have been very happy with it.

Pros (for our family):

-easy to operate

-remote (also easy)

-long battery life (2+ hours per charge)

-plug in to wall outlet to watch or charge

-plug into car unit to watch or charge

-max volume is loud enough for the whole car to hear if needed

-operate as a DVD player and use with tv

-good quality picture and sound

-has been dropped twice, stepped on and left in hot car for days on end, but still works

-closed captions available if needed

-great price (paid 59.99 in April 2011)

Cons:

-cords could be longer for the car and tv hook up

-7 inch screen

-no materials to hang on seat in car (we use velcro)

-no case

UPDATE: October 28th, 2011

My initial review was 5 stars. My kid watches her DVD player every other day or so in the car. Battery life is excellent, abuse it took is great and surviving in the car from May-October with use contantly was pretty good. It broke last night. I'm returning it and getting a new one just like it.

It was a good buy for what we needed for traveling by plane. The kids used their headphones and the rest of the people on the plane ride were stating they wished they had one like ours. Granted the tablets were a popular device to have on the planes to watch movies, but at that cost and when we have a 2 and 4 y/o, I did not have to worry about it being damaged.

Like all reviews, if not using the headphones, the built in speakers are weak. Battery life was about two to 2-1/2 hours. During layovers, we would plug it into a wall outlet, spread out a blanket and have a picnic while watching the planes depart.

We bought this item for our grandson to keep him occupied while traveling in Germany. It worked out well with only 1 exception.... the battery life is under 90 minutes, so it is limited when you are expecting to be in a car or on a plane for a few hours (such as a 9 hour flight to Germany) In all other respects, it performs as expected. The manufacturer could provide this information about battery life, and it would help the consumer to make a well informed choice
