Cruiser Plus

At first I bought the offbrand copy of this, the Byron Statics brand and it was horrible. Then I got this and the difference is night and day. The motor on the Byron Statics version is too weak to pull records at the correct speed and has no variable pitch adjustment dial, it had a bad axle that wobbled causing even worse pitch issues, and lastly it played one track much louder than the other; don't ever buy Byron Statics. But then I bought the Crosley CR8005F-FL because I heard good things about it and it is fantastic. This Crosley has a nice and powerful enough motor that evenly turns the record (even if some of the records are warped like mine), there is a pitch adjustment dial which every player needs, the mechanical and structural quality of the player is very nice especially for this price, and the sound is crisp and clear with no pitch or volume variance. I would definitely recommend Crosley (much higher quality than others I've seen/bought), especially over Byron Statics which was junk. As for issues I've seen others have: Never had any issues with the lid rubbing on the record, although I can see where it would if the lid had a hinge defect and couldn't open the full 90 degrees (mine had no such defects). The bluetooth in/out seems to work great but I think people are buying the bluetooth in model and then saying it doesn't have bluetooth out (the bluetooth in model doesn't do both like the bluetooth in/out model so it wouldn't have bluetooth out anyway).

This is great option for those just getting started in vinyl, those who don't have a ton of money to dunp into, and those who are interested in portability. I wouldn't recommend using this to connect your phone to, as the sound quality through the provided speakers is simply decent, but I have no complaints about the rest of the unit. If there are no speakers to connect to, the provided speakers will do. If you do have an external speaker to connect it to, there are tons of options. I love the ease of use, the pitch control, and the ability to play 3 different types of records. Overall, I would recommend this as a unit as a starter and a solid portable.

It’s ok for someone new to vinyl or for a travel player. I bought it as a second player for my home office - we have an extremely nice set up in our media room that I’m used to, but just wanted something smaller and more compact for my office space. This turntable only plays some of my records. Records that play fine on our nicer model skip and sound awful on this one, so I really have to test the record first to know if it will play on this player or not. I think it has something to do with the quality of the LP to be honest. Flimsier pressings are not going to play well on this little turntable AT ALL. Thick, high-quality pressings will probably sound ok. It’s frustrating to some extent but at the end of the day you get what you pay for and I do love the pretty floral pattern I chose on this Crosley, it looks great. I would say this is ok to purchase as long as you understand that roughly half of your albums aren’t going to play on this without major skippage.

Absolute POS. Waste of money. No needle. Pieces just floating around in the record player when it arrived.

Volume very low and couldn’t figure out how to connect a sound bar for volume

Stopped working after only a few months of use. Not even consistent use. Just here and there. It’s cute but it’s a piece of trash

The first time I used this, it didn't work. BT didn't work, the turntable didn't work. Just a giant paperweight at this point.

Sound is worse than a cell phone speaker. dont waste your money

Terrible! Sound so bad. Skips during songs pitch is never right
