Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great record player with decent sound, it has an Audio technica cartridge on it so it won’t ruin your records like most inexpensive record players would. Connects fairly easy to an external Bluetooth speaker or headphones and actually sounds pretty good if you use patch cords and connect to a regular receiver and speakers. A good holdover until you can afford a turntable.

I am in love with this record player. The sound is great. It being bluetooth and portable is a plus.

A fun product and useful too. It reminds me of the record player I had as a kid. It was in a suitcase type case and you had to plug it in an outlet to operate. But it weighed a lot, especially for a kid to tote around, and the quality wasn’t good. You had to have your nickel handy to place over the needle so it didn’t skip. Now jump ahead decades and you have the Revolution Go. Smaller than the old version, much lighter (under 7 lbs.) and no nickel required. It plays 33, 45 and 78 records. It comes with a carrying strap, AC adapter, instruction booklet and even the adapter to play 45’s. When I opened the box I could hear a voice. No, it wasn’t in my head. The unit came charged and I must have hit the mode button and it was speaking. The instructions said it takes 4 hours to fully charge and depending on which mode you use; it can last up to 12 hours. First, I tested all of the speeds. They were all accurate and everything sounded great. It was nice to play the old 78’s from my grandpa again. I have a huge 45 collection from old jukeboxes and over 300 albums. The needle cartridge is of excellent quality and really makes this unit excellent. My only complaint is that the unit itself doesn’t have volume control. So if you just want to use it as a phonograph you cannot play it very loud. But connect it via Bluetooth to headphones or a speaker and you can change the volume. It also has headphone jacks. I remember having to listen that way when I was a kid and the cord was so short you had to lay next to the phonograph. The cover will stay open while you use it but I didn’t try it in high wind. I wouldn’t recommend that anyway since there are a lot of vent holes in the unit and both the player and your records would get dirty. The 33 albums extend over the side of the player while in use and the 78’s do a little. The cover is removable and can hold up to 5 albums. When the record finishes playing, the turntable stops so you don’t have excessive needle wear. A nice feature. Sound quality is very good. I played everything from classical to hard rock and the Revolution Go handled it all. The old portable players all sounded scratchy, such a huge improvement. The Revolution Go has a lot of outstanding qualities and I highly recommend it. Very versatile for at home or on the go. NOTE: I received this product in exchange for my fair and unbiased review.

Nice little unit. Initially I was going to return because I didn’t think the sound was up to par. But after letting it play, it slowly grows on you! Cute is the best description. Not audiophile but nice to have in background while chilling.

I have really wanted a portable record player. The turntable that I currently have is integrated with a receiver, CD and cassette player, which is great, but takes up too much room to keep it anywhere but the top shelf of my bookcase. Needless to say, the turntable doesn't get much usage. The Revolution Go by Victrola changed all of that for me by being small footprint, lightweight and rechargeable battery powered. It has a lock for the stylus arm, a lid that locks well, and a place underneath where you can place the charging cable. I can carry it into the dining room using the handle that folds out or using the supplied sturdy shoulder strap, and play a record while I am working at home. I can take it downstairs when friends and family are over. I can even take it out on the patio, when the IL weather finally gets nice. The Revolution Go by Victrola has its own integrated speakers, Bluetooth capability and a rechargeable battery that can last for up to twelve hours! The speaker does a decent job, but you don't have to rely on it, since you can Bluetooth connect high grade portable speakers to it, totally improving the sound quality. You can also connect speakers via RCA cables or listen to records using the headphone jack or connecting via Bluetooth. Lots of ways to enjoy your vinyl. The Victrola Revolution Go can easily be switched to play 33-1/3 rpm speed albums, 78 rpm speed records, and includes an adapter for 45 rpm singles. It has a stylus arm lift lever that allows you to carefully place the stylus on and off the record. The turntable does not start moving until you move the stylus over the record and will automatically stop at the end of the record saving battery power. All in all, the Victrola Revolution GO is lots of fun! I think you will enjoy using it to play the records of your past and the colorful new vinyl of today!

Another great product from the people over at Victrola!

I love it… sound and overall look is awesome!!!!!!

You remember the last time you were playing beach volleyball when one of your buds said, "Hey, I know we're having a great time and all, but you know what would make things even better...a portable record player so we can listen to all those LPs Chad has been lugging around in that big plastic milk crate of his." Yeah...me neither. I mean, I get the allure of a portable record player, especially given the minor renaissance in vinyl releases of late (you know a fad has taken hold when there's an entire section in Wal-Mart devoted to it). But there are a couple of minor design issues that left me wanting for a just a bit more to fulfill the promise and potential of a device like this, and I'm not entirely sure where all these people are supposedly wandering around city streets or public parks with armfuls of old LPs and 45s just looking for a quiet spot to spin up some of their old favorites, or regale some random bystanders with a few verses from a new 180-gram pressing. BUT, if that DOES describe your particular or intended use (or gets close), the Revolution GO is actually a pretty neat product. As a record player, Victrola had to make some compromises on build quality and design to achieve any measure of portability in form and function. The unit itself is about the size of a very thick briefcase or shoulder bag--all in all, it's pretty compact (for a record player), with a platter that's about 1/3 smaller than a full-sized LP. This makes it an ideal candidate for toting around to another listening location because it is pretty light and really isn't THAT bulky once you sling the guitar-style carrying strap over your shoulder. But a full-sized LP/12" EP also hangs out over the edge of the turntable's platter which means you can't close the lid while a larger slab of vinyl is spinning up your jams. While helping to keep the footprint of the entire unit a bit smaller, this particular design choice feels a bit less than reassuring in operation given that part of the envisioned use case for the Revolution GO is "all your records on the go"...sadly, any larger vinyl platters are going to be completely open to the elements and any associated airborne debris while you are out and "on the go." Again, this design compromise helped keep the size of the player down, and I can easily see people getting past it, especially for indoor use. The stylus is a replaceable Audio Technica moving magnet cartridge (ATN3600L), so there's maybe a case to be made for using this turntable as a more permanent, primary home source for LP audio anyway--one that also happens to be transportable to exotic new vistas. So, how does it hold up--let's look at the rest of the unit. First, Victrola had a pretty sweet idea to incorporate slots into the underside of the lid--this turns the Revolution GO's cover into a vertical 5-album holder (2 wider slots for double-LPs albums and 3 slots for singles) for display and queuing when the lid is removed from the main unit. I only wish the cover was a little deeper and instead designed to accommodate flat storage of those same LPs on the underside of the cover--this would potentially eliminate the need to carry a handful of records separately from the main unit. The turntable mechanism and controls are mounted on a floating platform that is suspended within the larger shell of the main unit, this helps absorb minor bumps and jolts during playback and actually worked very well in concert with the large, rubberized feet on the bottom of the unit. I had my daughter run back and forth on the floor next to the unit, and then later drop some keys and boxes on the table I had set it on for good measure--no skips at all...well done, Victrola! The tonearm is light (as one would expect), but there are controls to gently raise and lower the needle so you don't have to worry about an accidental or abrupt drop onto a spinning platter, and by turning the "Autostop" switch to the "On" position, the platter starts spinning as soon as the tonearm breaches the outer edge of the record, and stops spinning entirely when the record is over--nice to avoid additional needle wear, though that also means the unit doesn't return the tonearm to the perch on its own, either. There is an additional switch for speed selection as well as a built-in 45-adapter. A few other thoughtful design cues include a fully integrated carrying handle that folds back into the outer shell and completely out of the way, and a covered cutout for the AC adapter so you don't have to keep track of the charging/power cable or plug-in in a separate location--definitely handy when you ultimately DO decide to move this little unit around. The main power button presses down 1-2 seconds for power-on/power-off and also operates as a function selection button with a quick press (record player, record streamer, and Bluetooth connection--more on that last one in a bit). A friendly and easy-to-understand voice prompt provides status updates on battery levels, mode of operation ("vinyl," "vinyl stream," and "Bluetooth"), and Bluetooth connection success. An LED ring glows white around the edge of the dial to indicate record player functions (either stand-alone playback or streaming), and then blue when using the player's built-in speaker as a Bluetooth speaker for an outside music source. That last one threw me for a bit--I guess the thought here is that when you've exhausted the selection of records you've lugged to the park, you can still use the player's internal speaker for an audio stream from your phone, tablet, laptop, etc. Volume from the built-in speaker is controlled through rotation of the main power button--the white LED glows brighter whenever the volume dial is in use, though strangely it gets brighter whether you raise OR lower the volume--dimming the LED as the volume decreased would have made a little more intuitive sense. The built-in battery only took a few hours to completely recharge. Listening time varies by volume and whether you are using the onboard speaker or streaming via BT; Victrola tells you to expect somewhere between 8-13 hours of playback based on various combinations of those factors. Honestly, I don't have the patience or endurance to swap out that many platters for such a marathon listening session, nor do I have the strength or desire to lug around enough LPs to fill those same hours. But for the few hours at a time I used the Revolution GO to revisit some of my old albums, I never heard the battery level drop below "Battery full" (>80%). Volume levels themselves get reasonably loud for up-close listening and a small tone indicates when maximum volume is reached. No, the Revolution GO won't drown out the din of a dorm-room party or fill the up the back end of a cul-de-sac, but a small gathering on a patio or slightly quiet indoor listening environment is filled easily enough. Sound quality was--I guess "definitely better than decent" is the best way to describe it. It was undeniably cool to hear some of my older LPs get a new lease on life, and there was enough detail and resolution to make out some of the smooth musical subtleties that well-mastered vinyl is known for, but bass reproduction from the onboard speaker was a bit on the thin and hollow side--it definitely works better than what I would characterize as a "novelty" speaker, but it's not powerful or refined enough for any critical listening (in fairness, though, that's not what this player is really about). Now--throw on a pair of really nice BT headphones, earbuds, or a nice party speaker with some respectable bass, and your vinyl collection DEFINITELY comes alive. Of course, sound quality is going to be largely contingent on the quality of your gear, but suffice it to say that the BT experience through my full-size V-Moda Crossfades and Sennheiser Momentum cans was FAR superior to anything the onboard speaker could reproduce. You can also listen via wired headphones using the 3.5mm jack on the back, or hook the turntable up to an analog input via the L/R pre-amp jacks. What I was REALLY hoping for from this player was a BT connection that allowed me to stream wirelessly to a PC for mixing or even high-quality audio capture. Although I could successfully establish a BT connection between my PC and the Revolution GO in Bluetooth mode, the connection was one-way, playback of PC audio only. In "Vinyl Stream" mode, my Windows 11 PC simply never saw the Revolution GO as a proper BT source/input device (or the Revolution GO didn't see the PC as a properly advertised BT speaker)--if the configuration/capability is in there, I certainly couldn't crack the code to find it. Either way, this was a bit of a disappointment...or maybe a missed opportunity...as a fully wireless turntable solution, regardless of BT source or destination, would make the Revolution GO an incredibly flexible device for consuming, transporting, and sharing vinyl content regardless of the setting. In the end, it seems like the key question surrounding this device is just who exactly it's designed for. If you're an audiophile who legitimately cares about vinyl's supposedly superior yet still charmingly old-school analog sound, are you willing to compromise on that sound quality a bit to get your LPs into a set of BT headphones or other BT speakers? Or, if you crave some of your vinyl-locked tunes when you're out and about--do you also have the wherewithal to lug around a bunch of LPs/EPs/singles in addition to the player itself? I think maybe rather than marketing the Revolution GO as a "portable record player," it might get more traction as a thoughtfully designed record player that is also pretty easily transportable when the need arises. But there's no denying more than just a bit of cool factor in the Revolution GO's capabilities--cautiously recommended if you are one of the few who can legitimately see themselves taking this off the shelf more than once in a blue moon.

I was actually in the market to buy a player so this is perfect timing. This is a Great vinyl player. Love that it is portable and rechargeable. Connection to a blue tooth speaker is super easy. Super easy to operate. Unlock. 1 button to turn on/off. Same 1 button for volume. Has output with RCA and headphone. Great portable feature. Pretty light. Comes with shoulder strap and all. Not too sure if you will take this to the park and play but the novelty is there... Battery life is pretty decent. Sound quality is great. Great to hear vinyls again. You hear that crackling and nice rich tone that comes with vinyls. Only down side is that I tried to connect this to my marantz Receiver wirelessly and it did not like that. It did connect to my cheap bluetooth speaker though. Anyway all things considered I would recommend this product.

I had a portable record player when I was a kid in the early 70’sand have since moved on to some pricey component stereo gear. So why go backwards? Curiosity? Conversation piece? Perhaps a bit of nostalgia? Maybe a bit of everything. Mostly my turntable has been in a box since I moved. It’s very similar to the old portable record players of the 60-70’s. The turntable is fine for 45’s, but does not fully support a 12” LP. The LP hangs off the turntable about 2 inches. It’s lightweight which you want for portability, but mass helps dampen vibrations. While this is not really geared toward high fidelity, it does sound better than record players of old thanks to modern electronics, Audio Technica cartridge, and speakers. I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I honestly expected to be underwhelmed. But I was still enjoying spinning albums I have missed hearing over 8 hours later, still on the initial charge going strong. You can leave it plugged in and run off AC power if you prefer. If you run out of albums, you can pair your phone or other device with to the Victrola and use it as a Bluetooth speaker. You can also pair Bluetooth headphones or speakers to hear the albums through. There are also a mini-DIN headphone jack and line level stereo RCA jacks (no phono pre-amp needed) for connecting to a stereo receiver or powered speakers on the back. But no need for them, the built-in speaker sounds surprisingly good. A spindle adapter to play 45’s secures on the top side. Flip the unit over (after locking the arm down) and you’ll find a small compartment big enough for the AC Adapter. The strap attaches securely. No extra pieces to lose, all the parts are always with you. The cartridge has a plastic cover attached with clear tape. New record player owners may not notice this or know to look for it. Be sure to remove the cover before use. A different color tape that stands out or a “REMOVE ME” tag would have been good to use here. The Victrola and the records are larger and much heavier than the chain of successors that edged it out of the market; the cassette Walkman, the portable DVD player, IPod/Zune, and the phone you’ll likely also be carrying around with you regardless. And unlike all the other formats, you also need to be stationary when using it. While it is more capable with more features, I don’t really see this as replacement for what we currently think of as a “portable music player’. Unless you are one of the few that swore off digital music. But I enjoy it and am unexpectedly impressed with it. It is a conversation starter, kids really love the physicality of a record playing, it’s a great gift, a novelty, and a whole lot of fun. I suspect you’ll play I more than you ever expected to. This player and an album or two would make a great gift.

I’ve been collecting and listening to vinyl records since I was a kid in the mid to late 70’s. I have owned countless turntable and stereo systems over the years but have never had anything quite like this. While it isn’t perfect, it has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for playing records by allowing you to do that just about anywhere you can imagine. For starters, I will admit that I was shocked by just how good my albums sound through the built in speakers. You can’t really compare this unit to a hifi system and if you want to do that, it would be unfair. For an all-in-one completely portable and rechargeable turntable utilizing an AT-3600LA (Audio-Technica) cartridge, this thing sounds great. It even doubles as a bluetooth speaker so you can stream music from your devices if you don’t have any records handy. It also provides a 3.5mm mini headphone jack if you want to listen with your favorite headphones. Don't want to bother with a cord? Using the Bluetooth feature connects your favorite Bluetooth headphones, or external BT speaker for streaming. A BIG bonus! Portability is truly what this has been designed for. After all, it’s called the Revolution GO. The battery life is rated for up to 12 hours which should easily get most people through some fun spinning sessions. The versatility and sound provided with this portable turntable is more than enough to satisfy most people considering what you would use this for in the first place. Going camping? Grab a six pack of your favorite albums and play them by the campfire! That is just one example of what this turntable is designed for. With the provided guitar strap, you can sling this over your shoulder and take it up a mountain if you want. It is also pretty light, so no issues with carrying it around. If I were to have my say in what could be upgraded in a future release of this product, I would request a way to read how much battery life remains at all times. This could be via an app, or a series of LED lights on the unit itself. Another thing that would be great is some kind of clamshell or hard case in case you want to throw it in the back of the car with a bunch of other items. I feel like the build quality is slightly fragile and that the mesh covering the speakers could be ripped easily, or the top cover could be broken if something fell on it. All that said, Victrola has created a gem of a unit here. I am truly happy to own it and it gets regular use in my house and beyond. PROS: Sound quality Awesome portability Rechargeable AT-3600LA cartridge Bluetooth streaming & connectivity Integrated carrying handle / guitar strap CONS: No battery level indicator No case options available

This baby plays great! She’s gentle on my mind! She’s everything I hoped for! From the moment the needle hit my Glen Campbell vinyl I was in love. To turn on this Victrola all you have to do is hold down the big and only button until it lights up and makes noise. Click it to change from playing vinyl to the built speaker, bluetooth (play a device to the Victrola’s built in speaker) or bluetooth stream which allows you to play your vinyl to your own set of Bluetooth speakers rather than built in speaker. I plan on using the Bluetooth stream feature as my brother has this feature and set up with a different system and set of Bluetooth bookshelf speakers and it sounds awesome! The Victrola sounds great and it is equipped with an Audio Technica AT3600L stylus. This stylus to me is a must as there are others that are cheaper and sound horrible. The systems built speaker is great and the quality is better than most other portable record players. When comparing this to another player that I have with a built in speaker this Victrola blew it out of the ball park. The lid on this system is removable and can hold 5 33RPM albums. I like that it can be removed and protects your player but it is very flimsy. I love the look of it I just wish it was made of metal or was made of a more durable plastic. The strap is very high quality and is made of fabric/nylon and leather like ends. It’s a great look while attached to the player and sitting on my cabinet and works great for when I grabbed it on the go. The system comes with a power cable which allows you to charge the Victrola or keep it plugged in and play. Victrola states it will last 12 hours. I have played it a bunch of times on one charge and so far so good. On the bottom of the system there is a door and storage space to keep the charger when you are traveling with it (in case you need to charge it or plug it in). The door seems like it could break easily and it was very hard to place my charger in the storage space. The charger almost barely fits. It took me a good three times to get the charger in there and get the door shut. It only needs like an inch or two and it would make that much of a difference. I wish the charger was usb c rather than being a generic power supply. Not only would the usb c be easier to store it would also help if you were to ever loose the charger or if you forgot it (you can find a usb c almost anywhere). Favorite features: Arm Strap Removable lid Speaker quality Bluetooth Rechargeable/cordless What needs work: Cord storage compartment and lid Thicker plastic or more rugged top lid

I got this on a whim. What attracted me is that this has rechargeable batteries and speakers. In concept is very interesting: - It works either plugged in or with rechargeable batteries (About 8 hours per charge). - It has its own speaker, which sounds good for what it is. - It has RCA line output as well as 3.5mm headphones out (on the back). - It can stream Bluetooth to another portable speaker. - It can also play Bluetooth from a phone (it has both transmitter and receiver modes). My first impression is that I expected more quality for the price. First, it's all black plastic, and although the finish is good, it feels more like a toy. As for the vinyl player itself: First, the arm feels tiny, with a thin chromed arm that it seems it's the only visible piece that is not plastic. The counterweight is also a chunk of plastic. But then it works well: The player has good solid feet that provide some insulation from ambient vibrations. The spinning table is itself spring-mounted. The controls are basic at best, and it's 'fully manual', except for the switch that toggles auto start and stop, where it starts spinning at the right angle and stops spinning when it reaches the center of the LP, but that's the extend of it, it doesn't bring the arm back to its resting position. It does have a lever to lift it and the arm lowers softly, so there is no danger of scratches if used correctly. The stylus is made by Audio-Technica, which is a company that indeed produces some very high quality audio equipment, so sound reproduction is actually very good for what this is. The first LP I played with this (From Simon & Garfunkel) is an old press, likely from the 80s that did not age well and I didn't previously notice it's noticeably warped. Because this is a compact player, the spinning table is the size of a 45 RPM single, so this can be specially bad for these type of LPs that didn't age well, and made in the 80s where some LPs were pressed paper thin. To my pleasant surprise, this played the warped LP as well as anything else. The stylus did not jump once and it handled it very well, so for what it's worth, it's well balanced. Also I was pleasantly surprised that it can handle 78 RPM from a century ago as well and 45 RPM and 33 RPM. The unit itself is relatively light and comes with both a guitar-type removable strap and a handle. The cover can be removed and when separate, can be used to hold up to five LPs. On the bottom of the player there is a small opening to store the power supply. Overall it's fun and well designed, But I just wish it used better materials at this price. I've seen Bluetooth turntables, turntables with integrated speakers but nothing else that can also be used with built-in rechargeable batteries, and also as a Bluetooth speaker. It's convenient that I can just move it from room to room without cables.

My 16 year old daughter became a vinyl fanatic a couple years ago. While she loved the player we originally got for her, it was not at all portable and it required an external BT speaker, making it even less portable. This is the PERFECT solution. This thing is highly portable, including a guitar strap. It also has the built in BT speaker and 2 way BT. So you can stream another device to this speaker or use this record player to stream to an external speaker. Very cool. I think the ultimate testimonial will be in the form of a text I received from my 16 y.o. daughter after she had a chance to fiddle with it for a couple hours: "I opened the record player and the thing is FREEKING COOL! The instructions look like its own vinyl in a sleeve and the lid can become a record holder! It also has a carrying strap!" One important note, this thing is a portable record player with a built in speaker. It is not a 7.2 Dolby Atmos digital decoded component system and it will never sound like one. But for basic portability and great sound while having fun with friends, this is excellent. End of the day, I would recommend it to a friend.

Got my wife this for Christmas. Its great that its portable. The speaker is good and playing records is easy and sounds great as well as being able to connect bluetooth to my record player. Taking this to parties and family gatherings is a great thing.

excellent sound & lightweight to carry. Wish the handle attachments were stronger, but maybe Victrola can fix them in the future. Because I had one of the Singer ones back in 1964 and loved it; i looked for this on-line and am very happy with it.

Love it. Still going strong after a year . Even the small speakers sound great. Great to have a record player you can take anywhere , even to the park.

Very convenient to travel around with. A plus that you can connect to Bluetooth as well.

Love that is portable, can take it anywhere. Easy to use and the sound is amazing,

Love you can easily bring it every where. Nice color, amazing features
