This is a great little TV for the kitchen; it allows you to stay tuned in to programs during dinner prep or even during the meal when you turn off the big set in the family room. Drawbacks: The built in radio antennae only gets FM channels in a very close geographic proximity & virtually no AM, and there isn't much reception improvement when you hook up the provided external AM & FM antennae plug-ins. It might be OK in a big city where there are plenty of stations, but there won't be a plethora of stations available for country folks. The TV reception is great with coax cable, providing a nice crisp image for the little 7" screen. Another drawback is that the TV screens on some units go black, which can't be fixed without serious overhaul or exchange for a new one, which isn't economical. Also, if you use a toaster or counter-top oven, you'll need to pull them out from under the cabinets to prevent the heat from rising & hanging at the bottom of the cabinets which will negatively impact the Polaroid unit. The DVD player & CD player work well, and the console displays the CD cut numbers or TV stations. The unit operates effectively with either the remote or with the buttons on the console. The remote has provisions for up/down volume or channel, or punching in the channel number (or cut number on CDs). The clock is another little bonus. Improving the AM/FM reception could give this unit more appeal, but with so many other features being positive, this is a great kitchen unit.Read full review
I like the convenience of out of the way but still within reach for the radio or TV. The only draw back is the size of the TV screen. I wish it was a little larger. I bought this product because I currently have one already in my kitchen. My kitchen is open to the living area and small and this player worked perfectly for the space. The new one will be added to our wine cellar which is also small and compact and this will fit perfectly in this small space. The quality is good and the sound is good for its size. It is sleek and looks good. The TV folds up and away so it is not in the way. It is a good product if you are looking for convenience and a space saver.
Product works well but be advised it is analog and requires a converter box, if using in the state of Florida. All television signals are no longer in analog mode.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
I bought this product at Sam's club. They were so many returned that Sam's Club stopped carring them. My player still works but the back light went out after 4 months. I can get it fixed for the cost of a new one. Spend the money to get a good one. This one has a very short life span. I was very disappointed in this product. I think the guy who bought several will find his back lights won't be working long.........
We loved the product "when it worked" Bad news it only worked for 5 months before it ceased functioning. We called polaroid who informed us that it only came with a 90 day warranty and their "out of warranty option" was basically buy a new unit at not much less than today's market price for the unit new in stores. That being the case.....I believe we'll choose to buy "somebody else's product" Perhaps a manufacturer that actually stands behind their product longer than 3 months. Our advice....we don't recommend buying this product.
