1 out of 5 stars You can do better.......2006-08-16

Had I read the reviews here initially, I would have looked for another brand. I bought my first 1810 unit at Cosco and within three months, my case started breaking and Cosco readily replaced the unit. I had the other unit for a little over a year and it's no longer workimg. On both units, I would sometimes have difficulties as other reviewers have reported and I would keep trying and it would generally start to work. I thought at first the DVD discs were defective and replaced one. Then I thought it was a dirty disc and would insure the disc was clean. Then I thought it was the unit needed to be perfectly level and then I thought it was that my laser needed cleaning, so, I bought a cleaner and used it. The really frustrating aspect of the whole problem was that each solution seemed to work for a while. Even though I had to start a DVD allover again to get back to where I was when a freez-up began, or if it took 20 minutes for the unit to work, I persevered. When it finally malfunctioned enough to totally exasperate me, I emailed the Mintec company for technical suggestions and never heard from them. So, it is a hit or miss proposition as to whether you will get a dependable unit and the functional ife of the unit is highly varable and the technical support is not supportive. In short, even though some reviewers are sastisfied, for the same money, you can do better.

3 out of 5 stars Disposable DVD Player - Decent quality while it lasts..........2006-01-30

I purchased this in August 2004 for my daughter during long plane/car trips. It worked well and went through a lot of use until it recently gave out (Jan 2006). Although I don't consider that necessarily good quality, if you get a good deal and buy it from a store (such as CostCo) which has a liberal return policy you can probably end up with a decent player that will last you 1-3 years or so, even if you have to return one if it fails during the initial burn-in period.

1 out of 5 stars Can you say "JUNK"?.......2006-01-21

If anyone provided a review for this item right after playing it the first time, they would have written a glowing review. So would I. But I have only used it ONE time for a plane trip. When I just took it out of the case for the second time, the thing will not play. When you insert a disc, it just makes this awful noise and then says "no disc found". Regardless of what dvd is inserted, the machine does not work. It was used not more than 6 hours tops. What a piece of trash it is.

5 out of 5 stars Has worked great for over a year.......2005-12-28

I don't know what happened with some of the other reviewers, but my Mintek MDP-1810 has worked great for well over a year and through 2 young children. We have taken it overseas, on flights, used at home during power outages and it is still going strong. Great picture quality and a tough little machine.

1 out of 5 stars Don't buy it!.......2005-01-25

I bought this dvd player for my husband. It didn't seem to work at first the screen was always black. After that problem got fixed it froze in the middle of moovies. On rare occasions it works through out a moovie but most of the time freezes or the screen goes black. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Whether you're traveling cross-country or want to show your DVDs at a friend's house across town, the Mintek MDP-1810KIT portable DVD player is an all-in-one, easy-to-carry entertainment package: the player and its stereo headphones slide into a supplied carry case.

It supports multiple audio language tracks and multilingual subtitles, and you can select from multiple camera angles on DVDs providing that option.

1 out of 5 stars Missing pieces to package!!!!.......2007-09-04

I purchased this item BECAUSE it allegedly came as a complete kit according to the description. When it arrived (took 12days)there was no carrying case and no stereo headphones!!!!!!
And the packaging? It was delivered in the Mintek box as though it came right off the store shelf. No protective covering, no packing box.
I haven't even plugged it in I am so disgusted!

5 out of 5 stars 2 Years and Still Working.......2007-05-21

Bought this at Kohls's almost 2 years ago and it is still working... used mostly by my daughter to play movies and CD's in the car. I was worried that it was not a big name electronics maker and I have not had to deal with Mintek customer service, so I can't comment on that. But so far I have been very pleased with the purchase.

1 out of 5 stars Crappy.......2006-03-07

I would have given this item 0 stars, but there was no such opportunity. I borrowed this from my girlfriend for a trip to visit my grandpa in the hospitol, and it worked great, for most of the trip. Then it just stopped and never worked again. It says no disc when you put a DVD in. DO NOT BUY THIS! I had to stpend money again and buy a new one for my girlfriends family. Total junk!

4 out of 5 stars Decent for the price.......2006-01-02

I have had mine about 2 years. It works great. Yes, the speakers are weak in a large area, but a set of computer speakers fix that problem. I have had a few loading problems, but they are recorded DVD's. I usually just reload and it works fine. I have used it in the car, on airplane trips and at work. We watch between patients, sometimes it takes 4 hours to watch a less than 2 hour movie, and it will keep our place in the pause mode. This is a great function. I love mine

1 out of 5 stars Player is unreliable - do not buy!.......2005-12-27

The player does not always load the DVD's. And it never fails that part way during the movie, it will stop playing, get stuck on a scene, and never start again. It is completely unreliable. Sadly, I did not start having serious problems with it until after the warranty was up. I've only had it 6 months and it is very frustrating that it was such a waste of money.

    4 out of 5 stars Think before buy.......2007-12-03

    This is a too expensive product. You should think how many times you may use it before you buy it. Actually, I bought it 2 months ago and used only 2 times. Maybe, it is better to buy CD/DVD reader instead of burner (writer).

    4 out of 5 stars Portable USB CD/DVD drive. Works as advertised. .......2007-11-22

    Bottom line, this product works exactly as advertised, no external power supply, light weight and slim. I have an "ultra portable" ThinkPad X60. The DVD only comes with the docking station. This product fills the gap so I can access CD and DVD drives when traveling without adding a lot of weight to my backpack. It consists of the drive and a special cable that plugs into two USB ports to draw the power necessary to operate, quite clever IMHO. And one of them is a pass thru so you only "lose" one port.

    5 out of 5 stars Compact and useful.......2007-08-30

    I was so pleased to have a CD ROM drive again (the one built in to my computer died ages ago). This little number is great! Absolutley reliable, perfect XP compatibility, and the USB connection makes it so easy -- no extra power cords.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent Product.......2007-07-02

    Recently decided to use my dvd slot on my thinkpad t60p for another hard-drive. This external slimline dual dvd writer runs off my usb port: the included power adapter is not required for newer machines. I did a lot of research, this looks like the best product out there for slimline dvd writers that can be powered of the machine itself

    5 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed.......2007-01-10

    No extra AC power cord needed. My DVD player in my laptop went out and the laptop manufacturer wanted $450 for an in-case proprietary replacement. I use the DVD player a lot on the plane and unless I'm in first class, don't have power. This one runs off the USB power. It's very slim and not bulky. Just what I needed. I only have one question. Why don't they sell this thing in computer retail stores. It's a winner!
