Portable DVD Player minimized sibling backseat kicking!

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2003
The Bottom Line: This portable player is affordable and a breeze to use in the car. May have a bug or two that 'Initial' needs to fix.
Review: UPDATE JULY 2004 - We used this player extensively on our recent Disney trip (Boston to Orlando and then on to Tampa by car) and it performed exceptionally! Didn't freeze once. Might be better in the hot weather!

For a recent drive from...

I'm Very Impressed - Great Gadget at an Affordable Price!

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great value for the money. Really a fantastic little gadget.
Review: I'll admit that I can be a name-brand snob when it comes to electronics, mostly because I've had my share of experiences with shoddy equipment in the past. That's why I wasn't sure what to expect when my husband and I received the Initial 5820...

Works great for me. Great value unit.

Date of Review:  Oct 26, 2003
The Bottom Line: I think I may have even paid for this unit. (I won it in a contest.) It is durable, has great features, and the price is right.
Review: I have only had this unit for a week but I love it. I think the fact that I won the unit in a contest makes me like it that much more, but I am still pleased with the performance.

I have 3 kids and this player will be wonderful for our...

Good DVD at a great price

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2003
The Bottom Line: You can pay more for a better player, but why? At this price you can buy each kid their own.
Review: I was looking for a low price DVD player for the kids when I thought about a portable player. I got this one at Circuty City .com for $250. Great price because it came with everything you need for the home or the road. You get: Cords to connect to...

Great value DVD portable player

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: After 6 months of heavy use I feel this is the best value for the dollar in a DVD/MP3 player.
Review: When I decided to buy a portable DVD player, I planned on spending no more than $600.00 hoping to get at least a 5 inch screen and MP3 playback capability. Sony, Panasonic and RCA were the brands I first considered. All had players within this price...

Terrific player value

Date of Review:  Mar 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: Strongly recommend for travel use, especially for kids. Best bang for the buck.
Review: Anticipating a long plane and car trip to the Southwest, we bought the Initial 5820 from Circuit City based upon the reviews here. We needed to keep our 6-year old son occupied on the long rides, and hope to take more car trips this summer. The more...

Portable, but not dependable

Date of Review:  May 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: The is versatile in its uses as a supplemental player, but the defects make me dread using it.
Review: My first idea, while shopping for a dependable portable DVD player was to buy name brand. Unfortunately, Best Buy was out of all of their players, and I was in a crunch. Planning a cross country trip with my three year old son in an airplane and...

Great value and perfect size.

Date of Review:  Sep 2, 2003
The Bottom Line: Small, portable with appropriate screen size. Excellent niche as far as screen size. Size is perfect for those who don't want to carry a laptop.
Review: I really enjoy using the Initial portable DVD player for my long plane trips, makes them go a lot faster. Its a solid machine and has held-up from my East coast to West cost trips as well as trips to Europe.

Picture quality in "regular"...

The best bang-for-the-buck portable DVD player PERIOD!

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: The Initial\Mintek 5.8" model is the BEST buy far of the budget portable DVD players on the market today
Review: I spent a lot of time going over the various models on the market. Since I had a first generation Panasonic portable DVD I was a bit spoiled to the quality and clarity that particular model, and although the Initial\Mintek (5.8" version) is a budget...
