When the dark nights began to draw in last winter my great gran in law asked if she could borrow some of my videos as se was bored to death of watching the same ones over and over again on her long nights in, to my horror I realised we hadn't brought Nan forward with us into the age of dvd players and I no longer owned any videos so I set off to find a really simple machine that she would be able to use.

The DVD player only cost me £19.99 ad can still be brought for the same price today.

To be honest with you I was very shocked when I got it out the box to find it wasn't really much bigger than a portable dvd player Size H3.8, W22.5, D23.5cm.Weight 1.8kg. It was very easy to find a place for it in nans TV cabinet and she has not had any problems with it over heating,

It is just a very basic dvd player with just one scart socket in the back but that was all we needed for Nan as we only needed to connect it to the TV and didn't want it connected to a stereo or anything for surround sound.

It is really easy and simple to use with nice big chunky buttons on the front and a decent sized remote to go with it.

It plays all the DVDs we have put in it really well and we haven't had any problems with it at all.

I was that impressed by it I went out in April and brought another one for my daughters bedroom after the dvd player built into her TV stopped working as it was easy enough for her to use and didn't take up much space.

I would recommend this to anyone who just wants a basic DVD player with no frills.
