Review on Crosley Cruiser Deluxe CR8005D-BK Vintage Suitcase Turntable with 3-Speed & Bluetooth, Black by Keith Harris

I almost turned down this purchase from my overbearing hipster colleague because he thought I had to spend at least $300 or my music would sound like it was coming from the inner elephant, and all my records are destroyed after one game. He was so wrong. This little champ sounds great considering its size, way better than any phone speaker or cheap phone dock. The volume is really impressive, but power above 80% will cause the recording to skip due to vibration. The auto-off feature is great for stopping the player after you've finished recording, but the auto-off feature doesn't work that well in "open" mode. Position when attempting to download a record; it often slips and the platter starts spinning. Many internal parts are made of fragile plastic and should be handled with care. But the outer shell feels really solid, and the orange faux leather trim is bright and durable. It also gets stickers of your favorite bands/bars very well, none of them have peeled off. All in all a great gift for my wife and now I can go on being lazy and buy more records every birthday without getting an original every year.
