DBPOWER 10.5" Portable DVD Player

 
This DBPower Portable DVD Player is a gem to have when I’m traveling, especially when out of the country. My sister and I traveled to Europe and took some DVD favorites with us, not realizing European DVD players don’t use the same format. I own a MacBook that doesn’t have a DVD drive, so we were out of luck.

If you have young children, this would be a great car companion to keep them occupied, or even for everyday use.

This is a really cool product. Some of my favorite features are the adjustable monitor that swivels (180 degrees to the left, 90 degrees to the right) or lays flat against the housing, a remote control, and 3-hour battery life—which allows me to watch a standard length movie without having to plug it in.

The portable DVD player includes:
·      Audio/video cable
·      Remote control (2 AAA batteries not included)
·      Wall plug power cord/charger
·      Car charger
·      USB cord
·      Game controller
·      Game CD
·      Extra fuse
·      Instruction booklet (not very useful.)




Pros:
·      The video output is vibrant and sharp
·      Sound is nice and clear
·      Lightweight (great for packing for airline travel)
·      Plastic (practical for children)
·      Long battery life
·      Multiple ways to charge (computer, car, wall)
·      Multi-viewing angles

Cons:
·      The game controller is basic and not very responsive
·      The game CD is elementary ‘old school’ type games
·      The instructions, using broken English, weren’t very useful to me

The cons fall only on the game aspect, which doesn’t really matter to me personally, (I only use it for movies and music) but felt it worth mentioning for those who may think it’s a valuable perk.

This unit comes in black or a pretty blue, with a textured top that gives nice hold. It’s portable, convenient, doesn’t take up much space or weight in luggage, and does a great job of playing my DVD movies. Though I was given a discounted price to test this device, I was not required to give a positive review. I am genuinely pleased with its functionality and convenience.

* DVD Player comes with a 1-year warranty.

  2. I've been wanting to purchase a portable DVD player and after reading this review, I know just which one to buy. Just last week I was standing in front of a store display, reading each box, examining the many options in DVD players. I left with nothing more than a confused look on my face. I just wish stores had your review posted so I knew the pros and cons of a product. Thank you for posting this, along with the clear photos. My mind is made up. This DVD player is just what I've been looking for!
