Summary: You pays your money, you takes your chances...
Review: My husband and I really enjoyed this machine for the first 12.5 months of use. It worked well and had many features we didn't expect from a machine of its price. However, the laser reader broke two weeks after the warantee went out. I think that most machines that are made today seem to be of lesser and lesser quality, and this machine is no exception.

Summary: Great unit. Plays anything you put in there.
Review: It's a shame they don't stock this unit anymore. It plays just about anything you put in there, including DVDs from overseas. The only complaint I have is the remote control range, which I find poor at times. Other than that, this is a great player.

Summary: Began to fail after 6 months, gone in 10.
Review: I purchased this player 10 months ago. After six months it began to fail loading the DVDs, giving me the No DVD message. After 10 months of very light use (about 2 DVDs per week) it loads nothing. Pass on this one.

Summary: It's works, but it is cheap and loud.
Review: It works fine, but it is put together very cheaply and it makes an awful hummmm noise about half the time. I wouldn't recommend it unless you don't mind your DVD player making loud humming noises.

Summary: you get what you pay for...
Review: We bought this because of price and features. The features were as advertised...the quality left much to be desired. It seemed like the spin on the disc was never properly calibrated, so the machine would 'hummm' when you started it up...and would stop after the second or third track would play. The user interface is horrible. 15 months after buying this, the video out channel is completely blown...now it's only good for playing CDs or as a paperweight. I will be buying more of a recognizable brand name in the hopes of getting a better product. You get what you pay for.

Review: The first unit I had was dead on arrival. The second unit I received was scratched but seemed to play alright. After two months of normal usage it began to randomly fail to play. It began freezing during films for up to 10 seconds at a time before continuing to play. This had nothing to do with the actual DVDs as the same scene wouldn't neccessarily cause the problem to repeat itself. Since others are raving about it, your mileage may vary. I imagine it is just really bad quality assurance on their part.

Summary: STOPPED WORKING IN 9 MONTHS
Review: I purchased this DVD player while deployed to Afghanistan. It was on sale at Amazon.com and I didn't know what to expect (though nearly all reviews set my expectations fairly high). The DVD player arrived and it has played everything I've thrown at it (even local movies purchased at the local bazaar which are probably 'knock-offs' from Pakistan). This is a great product and it has made me put stock in the APEX brand.

Summary: No stars (or negative stars!) would be a better rating!
Review: This Apex model broke after about a month. Because it was still under warranty, we sent it back to Apex for repair or replacement, following all the instructions. This was five months ago, and after numerous attempts--including a registered letter to the company's president--we have given up trying to get a working DVD player out of Apex. This is the most appalling customer service I have ever experienced anywhere!
Unless you have a burning desire to donate money to the Apex company, you would be wise to take your business elsewhere!
