Pros: Plays all DVD formats
Cons: Died just after the warranty period

Bought this model because of it's ability to play DVD-/+R/RW. We have a DVD recorder on our TV and sometimes have to record a show to be able to watch later. It played all the formats well, however after the warranty was up it just stopped playing anything. We paid $129.00 for this at Best Buy and did not in any way get our money's worth out of the product. I started out with not wanting to play sometimes then eventually it just quit all together. Troubleshooting in the book is no help. Unfortunately at $129 I don't think it would be cost effective to have it repaired.

Pros: Easy to use and set up in the car.
Cons: Wore out completely after only 23 months. Freezes up during movies.

my daughter received hers for a Christmas gift in 2005.After a year and a half it began acting up, freezing, and not letting her move past pre-views on movies. Eventually it the laser gave out and now it's useless. Was not used on a constant basis. If your buying it for a gift, shell out extra money and get a better brand.

Pros: Affordable, decent quality picture for the price.
Cons: Battery died after 2 uses.

I used this DVD player twice (once after I got it and once just after the warranty period). When I tried to recharge the battery after the second use, it would not charge. The reps at Insignia were completely unconcerned. All they kept saying was "This product is out of warranty."
