Review on Crosley CR8005D-WS Cruiser Deluxe Vintage Turntable with 3-Speed Bluetooth & Sleek White Sand Suitcase Design by Ha Joon Joon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the quality is good and the price is reasonable.

This player is designed for old predominantly monophonic, as well as children's records. Naturally, it is not advisable to play expensive and new records on it, because. EPU according to Soviet GOSTs is approximately 3-4 classes, and is equipped with an appropriate piezoelectric head with a clamping force of approximately 6 grams It is a modern approximate analogue of class 4 portable players produced in the USSR, for example, the children's "Song". In the presence of minion records (small), I recommend checking the sound when buying, it is possible that the sound beats due to a slight marriage. On plates of large diameters, the beating is practically not audible. In general, the Crosley is a higher quality level than, for example, the ION, and I have not come across such beats yet. Ironically, the one- or two-star reviews are based on deceived expectations of the vinyl miracle and the premium materials of this product. In general, the device for its purpose of use is very good.

Pros
  • Lightweight, completely safe, in a portable design, which is convenient for the child. Fine tuning of engine speed to the nominal value of rotation speed.
Cons
  • BLUETOOTH, WHY IS IT HERE? The function that spoils the concept of the device only leads to an increase in the cost of the design and once again reminds that this electrophone (player) is a modern consumer goods. They could have put at least one needle in reserve. At one time, in similar Watson devices from METRO, 2 needles were included in the kit.
