Coby DVD-224

Pros: A surprisingly robust system for such a cheap price.

Cons: The remote is too damn small for my massive paws.

The Bottom Line: For 25 bucks I wasn't expecting much, but I got a pretty good system. No, it's not the best player I ever owned, but it's still surprisingly solid.

Review: It was not too long ago that my mom sent me a whole bunch of home movies that she wanted me to dub and edit and clean up on my computer. Since I had a video capture card already plugged into my rig, I thought the easiest thing to do would be to get a DVD ...

Pros: Very low price and all the features you need

Cons: Audible hum when reading

The Bottom Line: For $24 you can only ask for so much and this unit more than delivers that plus more. Perfect for a light-use system.

Review: Like most people who have reviewed this product (it seems), I purchased this DVD player as a secondary system for use in our spare tv. At a surprisingly cheap $24, I wasn't expecting a lot from it, but I got more than I expected. When I was ...

Pros: Easy to use and very inexpensive.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: A great DVD player for children and those on a budget.

Review: I purchased this DVD player for my daughter to use. We have owned it for quite sometime and have had no issues with it. Price This DVD player costs next to nothing. For that reason, I have no concerns with allowing my daughter to operate ...

Pros: So extremely cheap, yet it works without complaint.

Cons: Um, haven't really found one. Maybe our standards are low.

The Bottom Line: Ours was free. We'd actually buy one -- it's cheap and good.

Review: We've had our Coby (and has anyone else noticed it's in a font reeeeally similar to Sony?) DVD player for almost two years now and it's been a pleasant surprise. Okay, in October 2005 we sat through a time-share presentation because they offered us a ...

Pros: Cheap, Does the job, light weight, Easy to use!

Cons: Can be destroyed easily, Care when handling, not easily fixed.

The Bottom Line: Get it for budget purposes!

Review: Honestly if there is one DvD player that I see more then any its definitely this one. From place of business, to your friends house down the street. I owned one of these and I must say for the budget I had and the time it was needed I surely could say I ...

Pros: Low cost, plenty of features, small size

Cons: Questionable lifespan, low quality video cable

Review: I just bought this DVD player at a local retailer since I needed a DVD player to put in my bedroom. I wasn't looking for anything fancy, especially considering the TV in there is only 17" with mono audio. The Coby DVD-224 did not let me down! It has a ...

Pros: Very compact, easy to bring with you on the go, great for the family

Cons: Ours will sometimes skip when the DVD inside of it is perfectly brand new

Review: I got one of these last winter, it's a very nice DVD player. No, you DO NOT need to go out and buy a $60 DVD player to get a nice one. This one works fine, and even better, it's very compact! We take ours camping with us all the time! Very nice ...

Pros: Cheap, Compact size, okay features for such a low-ender...

Cons: Cheap (in terms of quality), required patients to get it working correctly.

The Bottom Line: If you're lucky you may get one that works properly, in which case it might be a nice value. But then, who knows how long it will hold up...

Review: I bought this DVD player for practical reasons. Paid $34.95 for it but have seen it for as low as $29.95 in stores. Pricewise, its a winner. Also was one of the few around that was small enough to fit into the cramped space I needed it to fit into. ...

Pros: Many functions offered from remote, good picture quality and sound

Cons: lasts less than a month, poor durability, expensive for quality

Review: I didn't have many expectations for a DVD player that I bought from my campus bookstore at a rate of $50. However, I do expect to play DVD's in it after a month of use. After only a month, the "wrong disk" kept showing up and would not even play brand ...

Pros: Plays several formats - Very Inexpensive - Very small

Cons: Eject is really slow - Remote is poorly laid out - Life expectancy

Review: Good for VCD/SVCD and it also plays DVDs. It plays both NTSC and PAL discs and is simple to make it region free. I've purchased 5 of these to date (3 for myself and 2 for family members). Great for the kids rooms. Don't expect a lot of bells and ...
