At first glance the Crosley cruiser looks great, good novelty design and decent build quality. But it's not until you put it into practise that you realise where it stops being charming and starts showing signs of being cheaply made. First thing i did before playing it was weigh the needle, the recommended weight is between 3.0g to 3.5g which the Crosley came in at a whopping 5.4g! Overtime this could carve out your beloved vinyl with regular use. I then reluctantly decided to play a record on it. It appears to run quite smooth and plays at the right rpm which is good, but the vinyl also tends to wobble on top which is bad. Although It's an easy player to use and i had no issues with the operation of it, the needle came down smoothly and even had a auto-cut out switch. Finally i tested the volume and sound quality. I turned it up and it seemed a little quiet... i turned it up some more... wait... that's maximum volume?!? This would be ideal for a small room perhaps or a lift! There are no level adjustments and it doesn't have that full-bodied sound you would get from a decent audio system. If anything it's a little thin and lacks much needed bass. That being said it sounds good when plugged into speakers or headphones. So my verdict would be... 5/10 overall. Makes a great display piece and would be ok if used once and while. But if your getting into collecting or regularly play vinyls in a large room then I'd recommend saving up a little bit more and getting something better.Read full review

It's got a good look but the sound quality is very poor. Improved significantly by plugging it into a decent set of speakers, though that kind of defeats the point of a stand alone record player.
