CyberHome CH-DVD 300B Progressive-Scan DVD Player , Black
Good for the Sake of Having a DVD Player
I was a little nervous about purchasing this item because of all the bad reviews, but in my experience, the product works fine.  The reason why I bought this is that I knew that my sister wanted a DVD player, but I knew she wouldn't be using it every day.  If you're looking for something that's going to constantly be used, you may want to consider doing more DVD player hunting before you purchase this one.  My sister has had no problems with it overheating or eating her DVDs (if it does this, there is an emergency slot I believe to retrieve the DVD); you just have to keep the room it's in well-ventilated like you'd do for any of your electronic devices.  Also, if you accidentally lose or break the remote control, just go to the website to order a new one or if you have any problems with your DVD player go there as well ([...]  If you're giving this to somebody as a gift, make sure you test it out first; that way if it's dead on arrival as some some people in the reviews have stated, you can easily return it and get refunded.  Overall, my sister is completely satisfied with how the DVD player works.  Only once did the DVD pause a little bit, but it wasn't even that bad and to be honest with you, I have a DVD/VHS player by Panasonic and once in a while it does the same thing.
