Customer Reviews

I'm sorry I ever bought this
Although this unit mostly works, it spins at very erratic speeds and likes to occasionally overspin and lose its grip on a spinning DVD, at which point the DVD goes banging around loose inside and you have to power the unit off to stop it. Then when you power it back on for a second to eject the DVD, there's a burning smell that smells pretty toxic. I'm going to throw this away and buy something else, definitely by another manufacturer.

Worked well until untimely death at 3 months of age
It worked well, easy to install and operate, until its early death after 3 months of very light usage.

Technical support was available via Internet chat, but the phone lines were busy. After an hour and a half of unsuccessful attempts to revive the DVD burner, technical support asked me to send it over for replacement. I paid for shipment and waiting to get it back.

Update: It came back after a month and a half and worked well since. again, I am a very light user.
Will update...

Never turns off
I could never get the drive to stop unless I completely turned the power off. I had some of the same problems others had with the disc spinning too fast and making lots of noises.
