Review on 🎡 Crosley CR6253U-001A Anthology Vintage 3-Speed Bluetooth Suitcase Turntable in Lavender: A Retro Music Experience at your Fingertips! by Yousef Abood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great portable player

I've had other portables before. Was very happy with it. Built-in speakers are the best I've heard from Crosley or Victrola; They still don't compare to a good set of active speakers, and if you intend to use them as the main unit in your home, perhaps invest in a couple (or buy a higher-end stationary unit). But for filling a small space or using it as a portable device, it's great. I wish there was a snap lock or something to secure the device when moving it, but I've loaded it with a single latch multiple times for travel and it's never opened on me. Of course the platter and most parts are plastic and the platter wobbles and I thought that would be a problem, but the weighted tonearm keeps the stylus in place and it doesn't slip or put too much pressure on the vinyl and so on. The parts feel flat. If you're looking for a portable device to take on vacation or use on a desk in a small space, I don't think you could find anything better. I haven't used the bluetooth feature so I can't say if it works. like to disable or not or even what version it has.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • poorly designed
