portable dvd player


Portable DVD players can be extremely rugged. Ours certainly saw its fair share of usage before we wore it out! We had purchased a portable DVD player for our move South, in the month of July. The portable DVD player certainly did its job of keeping my kids happy in the car for the 1200 mile trek. However, it's purpose did not end there. See, we had left our television back at the house we'd just moved from. It was big and bulky and older, and we were afraid that if we moved it that far, it would not survive the trip. So, when we arrived at our new home, we did not have a television to plug our home DVD player into. Our kids ended up using the portable DVD player as their regular television/DVD player combo for a couple of months. The portable DVD player was a blast for them, because it went from room to room. They could watch movies on it in the living room, the tent in their bunk bed, or in the car on the way to the store. It certainly saw its usage. The lifespan of our portable DVD player? Approximately four months. That may not seem that long, but considering the abuse that it got being overused like it was, the portable DVD player certainly proved itself in the durability and ruggedness areas. As a matter of fact, it was the engine that drives the DVD to spin that conked out first. The video screen, sound, and laser are still functioning. I wonder if we can get it fixed......
