Customers Say
Compact, easy-to-use external CD/DVD drive with good compatibility and performance. Some find it flimsy and tray alignment tricky. Software and connector type may disappoint some users.

good hardware, could feel more premium though
can read cds, i avoided installed the software that some other reviewers were struggling with and it works fine for playing DVDs, if i get problems ill install the software and see what it can do but no need for it yet i agree a little with the flimsiness, the top cover bends if you try to grip there to close the disc tray but i just grip it at the corners and it closes fine the tray doesnt open up all the way so you have to slightly put the disc in at an angle to get it into the correct position, but maybe these are the sacrifices to be made for a small reader for the price

Great Quality Every Time
I’ve always had a great experience with Argos. I bought a carpet cleaner from there recently and it was really good quality and worked perfectly. Every time I’ve purchased something from Argos, I’ve never been disappointed. The products are reliable, and the service is always smooth and easy. Definitely one of my go-to places for shopping!
