I bought a cheap dual-screen Philips DVD player (mainly for use in the car for family car trips) on Black Friday, 2010, at a certain archery-themed big-box retailer. Worked fine (nothing special) until the DC car charger stopped working. Bought this item through Amazon, and it arrived as described and worked as well as the original equipment--which is to say, not that well. After playing a single movie, it also stopped working. Brother-in-law with a background in electrical engineering took a look at it, unscrewed the top of the adapter and popped out the fuse. Although the fuse was not visibly blown, we both guessed that it was. He said the fuse was rated at 3 amps, which is just barely above the power requirements for the DVD player. I went to a certain radio-and-shack-themed electronics store and purchased a couple of 4 amp replacement fuses for about $4 and the adapter has worked ever since.

Product arrived in a timely manner - just in time for a road trip with the kids. The product was just as it appeared in the picture. No problems so far.

Worked perfectly fine for my car dvd player. Make sure to tape the wires finely so that kids don't mes it up again.
