Try another brand.......2006-10-24

Initially bought this in July 2004. It worked fine for just over a year. Then it quit working (DVD would just spin & try to read, but no go). Called Polaroid & they invited me to send in the old unit at my expense along with $50 for a replacement (an out-of-warranty replacement), which I did. They sent back a newer model of the same player, which again lasted slightly over a year. Soo... I think it's time to try a new brand. Assuming Polaroid still offers the same replacement deal, I figure I get a $60 model of some cheapy brand and if it makes it at least a year, I'll breakeven and I won't have to make a trip to the post office and wait several weeks for the replacement.

Same bad experience as other reviewers.......2006-04-04

I did like the product in the beginning. Two months later, it stopped running the disk. Having read other reviews, now I do not even think about bringing it back to the retailer to fix it. Polaroid is always my favorite brand so this experience was quite dissapointing.

RUINS DVDS!! I will NEVER buy a Polaroid product again!.......2006-01-23

The car adapter cord started coming loose after only a few months of use. Which means the movie stops and has to be restarted by jiggling the cord (VERY upsetting for a small child!) We finally solved this by leaving the battery pack in even while it was plugged in (which the product advises not to do as the battery has a memory.) Then we discovered that the Polaroid had been ruining our DVDs! There are circular scratches on them. My husband tried to salvage them by copying them onto a new DVD but many of them he could not save. The DVDs will only play part way and then the screen starts getting stuck. We have also had issues with error messages from the Polaroid thinking there was no DVD in or that the door was open to the DVD player. This product only has a 90 day warranty - I think it is quite clear why they don't warranty it longer!

Don't buy a DVD from a camera company!!.......2005-11-29

After spending about $300 for this in October 2004, I was disappointed when the power cord stopped staying in place. Unfortunately, I waited too long to report it, so it will be cheaper to buy a new unit than have this one repaired. Also, even though we did not use the battery very often, it will no longer hold a charge (not even a minute). No more Polaroid electronics for me.

Swivel screen shorts out........2005-11-02

I bought the Polaroid because it had a swivel screen and advertised three hour batterly life. WITHIN 2 DAYS of buying it the screen was starting to flicker. Within a week the only way I could see an image on the screen was by twisting the screen a bit (like a potato chip). I'm taking it back today.
By the way. The unit comes with a case, but the battery pack will not fit in the case with the player. Oops!
Looking at the warrentee card, it only comes with a 90 day warrantee. I'm not risking my money with another one. I'll shop for a more durable model.
