Govideo DP 7240 Off-Road DVD Player

Not Worth It
We purchased this DVD player after reading a good review about it in Outside magazine. Sounds like we were lucky and ours worked almost 5 months before it started to scratch the DVD's and not play anything. I sent it back three months ago and have called every two weeks since to find out when we cou..

DON'T PURCHASE FROM GO VIDEO
My player didn't work properly within the first 4 times using it. I sent it in for warranty repair and received AN EMPTY BOX back! Can you believe that? THEY SENT AN EMPTY BOX! Now, I have been trying to get a replacement or even my original unit back but the Customer Service is HORRIBLE. It s..

Lasted 4 months
I also read a positive review in CNET and bought this - it started being flaky after about 2 months, and it's completely dead now at 4 months. I wish I read the Amazon customer reviews before buying it. Whoever gave this 5 stars either works for GoVideo or hasn't used it for long before rating it...

Don't buy this item
I purchased this item and gave it as a Christmas gift (2005). It broke after only 5 days. Because I bought it on line, I can't just return it for a refund. I read a positive review of this item on the CNET website and ordered it. Then I read the negative reviews on this site. CNET should be held..

Never GoVideo Again
I bought a GoVideo DP7240 player that quit playing DVD's after three months of very limited use. Multiple calls to their pathatic customer service center only yielded fustration and a complete slap to the face by demanding a $90 replacement fee for a refurbished, replacement unit. Do not waste you..

Poor product, worse customer service
This product is a piece of garbage and the customer support from GoVideo is pathetic. I purchased this product last November for my child's xmas present. Several times it just stopped playing, then resumed working a few minutes, hours or days later. Finally just before the warranty ran out it qui..

A piece of garbage and electrical hazard
This player comes with a ridiculous warranty period, just 3 months. And mine started behaving funny after just one month. First I noticed sparks coming from within the body. Then it started giving me occasional mild electrical shocks when I touched the buttons. I submitted an unsafe-product repo..

Awesome Player!
Portable, compact, just all around perfect for someone (or some people) on the move!
It's a great idea to buy 1,2 or even 3 for your kids!..

Buy another brand
Although I purchased a different unit, the GoVideo 8440 Portable DVD Player, it played exactly 6 movies before dying. GoVideo replaced it with a refurbished model, which arrived in non-working condition. In addition, the original 90 day warranty is still in force, GoVideo refused to extend it to t..

Generally poor quality - failed within 6-months
I don't have this particular device, but I intend this as a public service to anyone purchasing any "GoVideo" products. I've owned two GoVideo products in my life; one of the first dual VCRs they introduced and a portable DVD player. Within months of purchasing the DualDeck recorder, it developed ..

Strudy, Dependable, Fun
I bought this Portable device about 8 months ago by way of a lot of research. Any small amount of research will tell you a lot of Portable DVD Players are prone to quirks and breakage. This portable DVD player however is one of the best I have found under $300.00.
It has a rugged rubber exterio..

GoVideo DP7240 -- Good All Purpose Choice
I own this portable DVD player and really enjoy it. 7" screen is sufficient. (I would not recommend buying a smaller screen.) Picture guality and sound are both very good. This portable DVD player feels more substantial and less fragile than many on the market. I have no complaints. There are be..

Battery does not work
I DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT. MINE WORKS JUST FINE. BUT, THE BATTERY DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. IF YOU WANT TO BUY IT TO KEEP IT CONNECTED IN YOUR CAR OR AT HOME, FINE, BUT DO NOT EVER BELIEVE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE IT TRAVELLING (BY PLANE, BUS FOR EXAMPLE). BATTERY LIFE..

Horrible battery life and customer service
I had minimal expectations for this product: that it run for long enough to view one movie in its entirety with a decent picture and audible sound. Well, the picture and sound were fine, but that doesn't do much good if the battery won't let you finish your movie. The manual states the battery sho..

Also doing pre-purchase research
Check out CNET.com. They have rated it higher than others, including the Polaroid PDV-0700. It seems only the expensive units come with an international charger (i.e., 120-240VAC 50/60Hz). Otherwise, the unit is "one-way" only on an international flight...
