THE COBY DVD-224 - the dirt cheap region free player rocks the house!

Date of Review:  May 23, 2008
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...

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2006
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...

Great DVD player for the price

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2008
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...

Free...and worth every penny!

Date of Review:  Sep 24, 2006
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...

Coby DVD-224 - Lots of features at a low price

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2009
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...

Not worth the trouble

Date of Review:  Apr 1, 2006
Review: I purchased this DVD to replace my old APEX. It was cheap $30 or so. At first it worked fine and I watched about 30 DVD's after which it would only read about every 5th DVD I tried. The unit will display no disc after about 2 minutes of trying to...

Garbage

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a dirt-cheap DVD player it might be worth it- you may get lucky and not have any problems.
Review: I bought this DVD player as a cheap replacement for a DVD player I don't use very much. Price was the only consideration and Fry's electronics had 2 players at this price point. I chose the Coby because the remote had a better layout.

Short Life

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2005
Review: I bought this DVD about 6 months ago for my daughter. I like the very compact design and thought that this will be very practical for her to have it in her small dorm room.
Unfortunately, this DVD player only worked for the first 2 months...

Look at it this way...

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2008
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...

Not worth it!

Date of Review:  Nov 24, 2008
The Bottom Line: Not worth it
Review: I would not recommend spending the money on this product.  Save up and get something a little bit nicer and you will be happy that you decided to do it.  This player always seems to skip on every dvd, even new ones.  I do not recommend this product...
