When the DVD player my granddaughters' use broke down this time last year I decided to replace it with something cheap and cheerful, my reasoning being that it is only used at weekends and it seemed silly to spend a small fortune on an up-to-date machine. I needed one rather quickly as at the time they had several Christmas DVDs they wanted to watch and, frankly, I didn't particularly want my television in the living room taken over by children watching anything festive they could get their hands on. The Tesco branded 1030 DVD player was the first one I saw within the very small budget I had set myself, in fact I was rather surprised at being able to afford a ...  Read the complete review

This dvd player was donated to me by a family member and I think I now know why lol. At £6 you can't really expect a huge quality electrical product can you thats the reason its so cheap. I usually play dvds through my playstation2 however that has been playing up lately so I have have started to use this instead. The dvd player has a scart function at the back and is easily linked to your television. The player has a big on off switch on the front and open/close, play and stop and comes with a remote control for dvd option selections, this frustrates me because I am always loosing remote controls and if you want to watch a dvd which has episodes on there is ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this DVD player from Tesco when I finished university around three years ago. At the time I had just started working in my graduate job and had moved out of university accomodation so when I got my first paycheck I decided to buy a new, expensive TV! Unfortunately, I had used my X-Box as my dvd player for my university years BUT it decided to pack in......so I bought this little gem from Tesco for what I think was around £9 (ish). I had made the decision to purchase a very, very cheap DVD player as I had spent a fair whack on my TV. I am a big believer in the old mantra of 'You get what you pay for'. I shouldn't really have expected much for £9 to ...  Read the complete review

I know what you're going to say, why buy a DVD player for peanuts and then omplain about it? Well, if you buy something, no matter what price it is, yo would expect it to work! I bought this DVD player from my local Tesco about two years because the one I had been using in my bedroom previously had broken and I knew I only needed a DVD player in my bedroom for a few months as I was going to move. It cost under twenty quid (around £18 if memory serves me correctly) and came in a white and blue box (Tesco's signature 'Value' branding at work here). Once unboxed, you just plug in and play. The power lead goes into wall and the scart lead goes into the tv (hardly ...  Read the complete review

I bought this DVD player roughly 2 years ago for under £10 I needed one for uni, I had a really old tele in my room that played video tapes! I didnt have any video tapes, but had a hug collection of DVDs that I wanted to watch to pass the time, I used to watch them on my laptop which wasn't great due to the tiny screen and poor sound quality. I went into the tesco extra near my uni halls looking for something cheap, I didn't expect to be able to buy a DVD player for under £20 until I saw this little beauty. I didn't care what it looked like, I just wanted to play DVDs when I was bored. ---- what does it look like? ------- It is silver, quite compact ...  Read the complete review
