Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We got these for our 3 year old and 5 year old in the car. We had them for 4 days. On day 4 my daughter's V-reader would turn on in "engineering mode" and would not load games or anything. We tried calling the company, but they are a Mon-Fri 8-5 customer service. I sent an email that night (Sunday) and had a return email by 8:30 Monday morning with ideas of how to fix it. None of these worked and we had to return it to where we purchased it for a replacement. It's been almost 2 weeks since then and we haven't run into any more problems.Pros:
1. You can plug headphones in to it
2. My favorite feature is that my 5 year old can use the pen and touch each word in a story and read it word by word - she only needs to touch the words she doesn't know and can read the others on her own. (She tells me that it first reads you the full page and you can then either turn the page or read it word by word by touching each word with the pen).
3. Very easy to navigate - my 3 year old can do it without any assistance.
Cons:
1. It goes through batteries like crazy. You can buy an AC adapter for it, but one is not included.
2. The cartridges are expensive - $20 each.
3. The battery pack is so tight on one that I can barely get the batteries out when I need to. On the other the compartment is so loose that the batteries often get loose causing the reader not to work until I open the battery compartment and fix it for my kids.
4. The "pen" is not connected to the reader at all and is easily lost. It has a storage space, but is not attached by a string or anything.
Overall we're very happy with the purchase - great alternative to a portable DVD player in the car!
