Apex AD-1500 DVD Player
Middle of the road
The polarity on these reviews seems to tell a tale.  Everyone either got a 'good one' or a 'bad one'.  I didn't start getting 'no disk' errors until I had used the machine (fairly heavily) for 11 months.  But you know what?  I'm still satisfied that I got my money's worth, based on the cost of the player.  Sure, it's a hassle replacing it - but I'm seriously thinking about buying the same model again.<br />While it was working, we had no problems at all.  Excellent picture and sound quality.  I purchased this particular model after reading many reviews for low-cost players.  This was one that seemed to have the best features and reliability in the price range I was looking for.<br />The way I look at it, you can buy two or three 'disposable' units by the time you pay for one high-end machine.  And, the way things change so quickly with electronics these days, I'm not in a big hurry to invest in a 3 - 4 year machine just to find it limited or even obsolete in 2.
