I'd like to start this off by saying I am not very educated on records or Bluetooth. I purchased this because I love all things vintage and I've been dying to play my Mary Poppins and Sound of Music records. I was a bit hesitant to purchase this record player because so many reviews mentioned the speakers being weak and needing to purchase a seperate Bluetooth speaker. So I decided to purchase it from a store in case I was disappointed with the speakers and wanted to return it. I bought this record player 2 days ago and have played 10 different records on it so far. I am completely satisfied with my purchase! I have a 4 bedroom ranch and with the volume all the way up I can hear music in every room! I'm sure if I had my loud family over for the holidays we would be able to hear the music no problem. Also, even being 24 I'm terrible when it comes to technology so I was nervous first setting up this player. It was so easy to do and I was able to listen to music in 5 minutes of opening the box. This record player completely filled my needs and exceeded my expectations. 5 stars!!!
This record player is amazing! I was hesitant to buy because some of the reviews were saying it was broken or the speakers sucked but I got this for my boyfriend who is a musician and he is in love with it. It sounds great and plays the records great! So happy with this purchase. I 100% recommend it.
Played It All Night.
Impressive Gizmo For Under $50. Even The Price is Historic.
Has Almost Every Bell And Whistle-- Even "Line Out" RCA (red and white) Jacks in the Back!
Note :
You know that Popping Sound people call Scratches? They Aren't from Sratches at all!
Dust Got Into The Tiny Miccrogroves! You can see the little dust bunnies under a microscope!
You could wash your record. Just be careful not to get the label wet. I just used Armor All Original and then wiped it good with a dry tissue. Sounds like new now.

Description
Victrola Vintage 3-Speed Bluetooth Suitcase Turntable with Speakers, American Flag
I'm happy with this little record player, it's exactly what I expected. It's not high-end, the speakers aren't the best, but its imperfections add to the vintage sounding experience I wanted from a record player. Plays my old records fine (vintage Beatles, Elvis, etc), as well as my new. It has jacks on the back that I'm sure would allow me to hook it up to my stereo if I decide to go for a bigger sound at some point.
The turn table has a wobble to it, but I don't ever remember owning one that didn't. Arm seems weighted fine, no need to tape a penny to it like the one I had back in the day.
I had taken my wife for a date night away from the kids, and the place we stayed at had a similar record player (Crosley Cruiser). We enjoyed it so much, I decided to get this to surprise her. The first time I used it, it skipped terribly on a new vinyl, causing some permanent damage to the beginning of it. Bummer. When I calmed down, I decided to change out the needle with the extra one included with the player. Viola! It then played to my expectations, which were not too high. The sound is a bit tinny, but that is actually what makes it more endearing, along with the retro look. I contacted Victrola via email, and the same day they said they were sending out a replacement needle for the one that was originally installed. I don't plan to use the bluetooth function, so I can't attest to that, but I did hook it up to a soundbar successfully using rca cables. Overall, if you don't plan to start a huge collection and if you aren't concerned about top notch sound, you won't find better for the price. And if you like to open some wine and have a romantic evening at home every once in awhile, this thing is great.
