I bought this model nearly two years ago because it was very inexpensive at the time, and I never expected it to last more than a few months - especially since it was being abused by a 2-year old boy. After about six months, he dropped it off a table onto the hardwood floor, and broke one of the hinges that holds the screen on. I figured that was it, but even with the screen hanging on by the ribbon cable, it still worked perfectly. I was able to fabricate a new hinge pin out of a paper clip, and we used it successfully for another 18 months. Over that period it has spent much of it's life in the back of our SUV, where it has repeatedly been dropped, kicked and stepped on. Unfortunately, my son just stepped on it once again tonight and cracked the screen. He's 4 years old now, so I guess the extra weight was just too much for the poor thing. Hey, at least it still plays music! Maybe we just got lucky with ours, but given our highly abusive experience, I would definitely have to recommend this model - especially for the price. We definitely got $170 of use out of it.
