Review 1 of 8

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
We have had this unit for several years and have not experienced any of the problems other reviewers have listed here. We use this primary in our minivan on trips, and sometimes at our destination. My only complaint is how loud it is in the front seat when the unit is between and behind the front two seats. But, I'm looking into headphones for the kids to get rid of that.

Review 3 of 8

Price Paid:  $98.00 from Fred Meyers

Summary:
Don't buy this piece of poo poo. After using the VCR a few times, a tape got eaten in the thing. It wouldn't eject and became stuck halfway out. After spending an hour getting the tape out, I try turning it on. The TV works for about 5 seconds, then turns off automatically when trys to eject a non-existant tape. I even opened the set and completly removed the VCR from the circuit board and it still won't work! Bah!

Strengths:
Inexpensive TV/VCR combo

Weaknesses:
VCR is utterly doggie doo! The tape carriage is made too flimsy and tapes will get eaten and stuck. No way to disable VCR when broken to watch TV. Poop!

Similar Products Used:
None. Will never buy a combo-anything again!

Review 5 of 8

Price Paid:  $0.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
First time used, the VCR would not accept tape, it kept ejecting right away. Took back to Best Buy and they charged me $80.00 to repair because I had in box for 6 months before using. After another 4-5 uses, it will not stay on for more than a few seconds. Worst TV I have ever had.
