    It’s an Audio Technica- really good turntables and this one is a belt driven gem. I dusted off old vinyls in storage for many years and went out to find a turntable. I am not disappointed. Great sound and v easy setup. Simple to use. I set it up with an old receiver that has been sitting around for many years and some bookshelf speakers. Sweet sounds.

    This is a game changer. I bought this since my other player sounded terrible and I’m so happy I did. This record player sounds a thousand percent better. Easy set up and I hook it up to my Bose speakers and it sounds amazing.

    I gave it 5 stars because of the excellent quality of sound provided for under a $100! This unit proves that you dont have to spend big bucks to enjoy old, vintage or new vinyl records. It really surprised me because I found myself in virus "lock down" and my vintage turntable was being refurbished and I couldn't get it back until ...... So I read some reviews, did research and boom, $80 bucks later I'm jamming to great tunes!! Thanks Best Buy for making this purchase "touchless" and fast!! Buy this turntable, you wont be disappointed!!

    Great quality at entry level price point! As a beginner, it was very easy to learn. Just as a note, this item does not include speakers--those must be purchased separately (and must be wired). I'd highly recommend the "Edifier - R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers, Computer Speakers," for an affordable set of wired speakers with high quality sound that look nice with the turntable.

    Used it for a few hours so far, and no complaints. The audio is fantastic for the price point with my Onkyo 5.1 system. I like the auto-start/stop which makes it easy to operate. The initial setup was a bit more involved than I expected, but the instructions are clear.

    We’ve had two other brands of record players, and this one has been the best! Bluetooth capabilities, great sound, sleek look that matches with most, if not all spaces, and the pricing is not bad! We used the pay in four option because why not? Just to take care of this one as much as possible we purchased speakers for it, although they honestly don’t need them!

    Great turntable for the price, easy to use - one-touch button to start, one to stop. Plus auto stop, which I appreciate because I'll forget and leave it spinning if it didn't. I needed to replace a much older version, very pleased with the price and sound.

    This turntable is terrific. Assembly was required, and the directions were okay. Only tricky item to complete was looping the turntable drive belt around the capstan. Audio output cable provided did not work for me. So, I got a 3 foot 3.5 mm audio cable and hooked the turntable up to our Sony BoomBox which has a 3.5 mm input port. Turntable is easy to use and the sound from my wife's collection of Opera records going back to the 1950's is wonderful. Price was very fair for this turntable.

    This is a very basic automatic turntable but it does the things you want it to do provided you don't have an audiophile's standards. It has a built-in pre-amp so the quality of sound is slightly better than it would be without, Minimal assembly is required but it is very easy. I sort of wish it had an output that would let me connect to a computer or mp3 player so I could download some of my old records. If you have old records you just want to have access to again, and aren't super picky about having super-high quality sound, this is a great deal.

    I bought this as a gift for my wife. She has a relatively small vinyl collection, and had been messing around w/ all-in-one units for a while. None of them were great: poor audio, mono playback, etc. Bought this turntable for her, and we utilize the line-out to our Sonos Five. It's the perfect solution. The start/stop and up/down options are great for avoiding scratches and being able to skip tracks. Zero issues from a playback or audio quality standpoint. Very happy with this budget purchase.

    It's Awesome - Great Starter Turntable

    This is my first turntable purchase. I'm in my late 30s and remember my parents playing vinyls on our old stereo system. Now that vinyl is making a resugence, I figured now would be a good time to dip my toe in the water. If you don't have and amplifier and all the other fancy gadgets, this is a perfect starter. I have it going to my soundbar using a 3.5 mm aux cable and it sounds great. I've purchased many vintage records and they sound like they're meant to be heard. And it sure beats my Big Bird record player I had as a kid.

    Great value for your money. Great sound and easy to use. Nice automatic features and playback is easy. Only drawback is that the device doesn’t have anything to hold the arm to protect the needle/stylus when moving the until. That can damage the stylus

    I was so excited to gift this, I could barely wait. I was disappointed to learn that it does not have a volume control knob, you need separate speakers. Luckily we have a Bluetooth transmitter and a Bluetooth soundbar, so for now we can listen to it. It isn't the perfect setup, but for now it's suitable. Sound is great and it is very easy to use, I just wish it was more obvious that sound was sold separately.

    So... you want to take the gorgeous beautiful bass and uncompressed Highs of analog and convert them to tinny digital?! And then listen to it through a crappy little single driver Bluetooth Soup can speaker?!! Cringe... That’s the question I poised to my 70 year Mother In regards to her record collection dating back five decades. She answered yes...so this is what she got from us Christmas 2019. My limited review, it’s a light weight plastic turntable. It plays records, it plays them via Bluetooth. It does what it advertises. Ehhh. Oh and it can play them the way God intended, with an analog left and right rca cable...but why do that:-(

    Low investment entry-level turntable

    If this is your first introduction to vinyl, this is perfectly fine. I would recommend this over a suitcase turntable for a myriad of reasons such as poor sound reproduction, build quality and the records may scratch on those systems prematurely (all records will be subjected to groovewear no matter the turntable). At about 100 dollars, it plays records reasonably enough for the cost and has decent sound reproduction. No, it won't compare to a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO or a u-turn Orbit but if you're just getting into vinyl collecting and aren't sure if you like the hobby yet, it's a decent start that gets a lot of hate in the audiophile community for no particular reason other than it's worse than vintage Technics or more expensive entry-level turntables. If you had a kid that wanted to learn how to play bass, would you get them a cheap Epiphone/Squire or a Sadowsky/Dingwall? The same principle applies to this hobby. This turntable occupies an attractive price point for prospective hobbyists and it does it much better than the likes of Crosley and similar brands at ~100 dollars. For the downside, it's a cheap turntable so it feels like a toy (cheap, plastic, buttons don't have a satisfying click). You also can't upgrade the parts later so you may want to just get an entirely new turntable if you enjoy the hobby.

    I had never owned a record player before, this was the one I chose after months of research for good turntables in my budget. For being a beginner, the ease of setup for this was amazing. The quality is also really great for the price. The all-around use is quite simple too, just place the record and hit start. I am so glad I chose this one. I recommend this to anyone just getting started with vinyls.

    This is a great turntable. It's easy to set up and use, and it produces great sound when connected to my PC microphone port or a pair of small Creative powered speakers. I had been hesitant to get it after reading some of the negative reviews, but I did not experience any of the problems described and I'm very happy with it. I'm certainly glad I didn't spend a lot more money on a different unit.
