eHit.com is a unique DVD Rental Service that offers four membership plans and around 5000 titles, which is pretty modest when compared to our top picks. But the thing that really sets it apart is eHit.com's large selection of Asian cinema, offering many films in Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese, Korean, and Japanese and other Asian languages (with English subtitles) that may be difficult to find elsewhere in the US.
Inventory:
Although its selection is smaller than other online DVD rental services (around 5,000), eHit.com offers 11 different movie genres, with 127 subcategories to choose from.
Membership Features:
eHit.com offers basic features that most other online DVD rental services offer, including critic reviews, trial memberships and free two-way shipping.Some features that we felt would improve this service include movie trailers, previews and an option to purchase movies.
Movie Arrival Time:
eHit.com sends your movie as soon as it is selected and is available. Since its only distribution center is in California, it typically takes between two to four days to arrive, depending on how close to the west coast you live.
Movie Information:
Movies from eHit.com have a short list of actors, director, synopsis, rating, language and subtitle. Some movies lack a cover image.
Search Capabilities:
eHit.com only allows you to search for movies by title, actor or language.
Summary:
eHit.com is a decent online DVD rental service that specializes in Asian cinema. If you speak an Asian language or particularly enjoy Asian cinema, then eHit.com may be a good fit for you. Otherwise we suggest one of our higher-ranked products that offer more overall selection, more features and shorter delivery times than eHit.com can offer at this time.
