So far very good! I searched and searched (& bought & returned 2 other CD players) to find a cd-radio for my mother who is in her 70’s and not super tech savvy. Sony’s boombox has a known defect where it quits reading cd’s after a year (max), another I purchased from Walmart didn’t have the ability to program/save favorite radio stations... but so far this Victrola is great! It can save 20 stations, plays mom’s CDs, and, as a bonus for me, it has Bluetooth to connect with my iPhone :-) Everything is working perfectly! You can press a button to turn off the lights, but my mom likes them and we typically keep them on. Upon touch, the item is light and may feel plasticy, but visually it’s much nicer than how it looks in pictures- not as cheap looking as I had feared it may have ;-) So for its price and functionality, I’d definitely recommend it! If it breaks prematurely, then I’ll update my review because as a consumer I know I really depend on product reviews to decide upon purchases.
I've been looking for a tabletop jukebox for many years but all of the ones I've seen have been very poor quality and have received very low review ratings. I read the reviews carefully on this product. I received my order very quickly. I am impressed with this little retro radio. It appears to be very well made and true to description given by Amazon. As stated in the other reviews, it has decent sound and is well constructed. He picks up FM radio stations better than any other radio I currently own. I really enjoy the LED lights and enjoy the overall look of the radio. In my opinion, this product is priced Fair. After all, you do get a CD player, a Bluetooth speaker and a FM radio all in one.
This is something I've been wanting for at least the past 30 years. I have always had kind of a soft spot for retro-styled radios, etc. At one time i was considering one of those chrome-style ones like you would find at each table in the old diners. I'm not even sure if they make those anymore, but I was really tickled to wind up with this Victrola mini-jukebox. It's my birthday present to myself, and i couldn't be happier!
Everything seemed to work perfectly straight out of the box, though admittedly, I have not yet tried the Bluetooth feature. The little light show is super cool, and of course you can use the unit with the lights off or on. You can also set it so it constantly displays a single color of your choosing. You can also just display the lights without any music playing. Also - just FYI - a few reviewers have complained that they can't figure out a way to shut the unit off completely, so that the function indicator light goes out. If you press the function button and hold it for a second or two, that powers off the unit. That is your off/on switch.
So for just a very modest price, I have turned my TV room/man-cave into something right out of the 1950s. It's funny, but in some ways, I've always felt like I was born about 10 years too late. There's nothing like some good old 50s Rock & Roll or Doo-Wop to unwind after a hectic day at work. And while I've always had a way to play it, this little jukebox definitely helps complete the tone and atmosphere I've always wanted to achieve.
There are several more expensive models out there from other manufacturers, some with slightly different features to this one. But for the price, this little Victrola does EVERYTHING I could possibly ask it to do - and it does it very, very well. It sounds good, and it looks awesome. What more could you possibly ask? If you've been considering one of these desktop jukebox units, don't hesitate to give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
I can’t even begin to say how cute this thing is!! My son received this as a gift and it’s by far his favorite! I love how it lights up and the sound is really good as well. It looks like the real deal! I absolutely love all the features. It’s not just a radio, it’s bluetooth so you can connect your own music from your cellular device AND it’s a CD player! Doesn’t get much better than that. It has the option to turn the lights off even when in use. I think the light really adds to the “jukebox” effect though. My only issue with this product is the ability to store preset stations. If it gets unplugged the stations are lost. That won’t deter me from giving this 5 stars though!

Description
Victrola Retro Desktop Jukebox with CD Player, FM Radio, Bluetooth, and Color Changing LED Lights, 15-Inch Tall
Sound is great, easy to set up blue tooth and I can receive a radio station. Other radios did not pick up radio station because I live in the country. Lightning is very neat too.
I LOVE this!! It is so unique and it works great!! I am thrilled to own this little jukebox!! I highly recommend!
This is by far one of the most awesome purchases I have made for the money. It is absolutely beautiful and adds character to my kitchen/bar. So many compliments and the speaker is adequate but the lights are outstanding! The purchase was easy and way better than I expected!
So I was meandering all over amazon just days before Christmas, looking for inspiration for my husband’s stocking stuffer. Its difficult to buy for him, if he wants something, he just gets it, y’know?
Decided to go with a man cave addition. He loves the movie posters I’ve given in the past - but I wanted a “WOW” gift.
He’s got a pretty ancient YAMAHA old school sterio set up with the gigantic speakers and crackling turntable- he steadfastly refuses to upgrade from the 1970’s - along with the dust collecting stero,he’s got over 1000 record albums ( BREAD live anyone?)
Well I thought maybe, just maybe he’d dig one of those Bose “WAVE” sound systems- incredible sound & compact- easy to move it wherever you need it. Jumped on Amazon after visiting the Bose website.I do not doubt at all that it sounds amazing -but 500.00+??
OUCH! So Amazon of course has some very descent facsimiles- with stellar reviews,but I get easily distracted by shiny sparkly things and when this baby jukebox flashed before my eyes, I just had to give it a look.
Read tons of reviews, looked at other similar items, and crossed my fingers when I clicked “place order”.
Got it 2 days later- let me preface this glowing review by stating/ I don’t prolifically write reviews. I reserve my opinions for 5 star slam dunks...., or 0 star total-crap-don’t-waste-your-money.
This was definitely a super slam dunk. It’s such a happy & fun gift. Looks exactly like it’s shown in picture. I worried it would be smaller than it appeared. Not at all. It’s aflashes of colors show stopper. Doesn’t look or feel cheap. Beautiful attention to design details- truly an authentic looking jukebox jr.
just plug in. Has a terrific clear reaching sound, it fills the 4 car garage/man cave.
The Bluetooth connected instantly.
The fun dancing bright colorful lights flash with the beat of the music. They function can be turned off as well. It’s such a conversation piece/ everyone that sees it is enthralled and wants to know where to get one.
Most important..hubby genuinely went ga ga.
I’ll put it this way. Couple of friends gave him an actual full size arcade video game- like the ones you’d put a quarter in ( back in the day i was a Ms. Pac Man fiend). The friends gave him the one called “Galaga”. Like 400.00. He’s 65. I’ve never even heard him talk about video games. Our sons had every game system as they evolved starting with Nintendo 64 over 2 decades. He showed no interest in them. I guess they gave it simply as a cave addition. Whatever.
While that sits collecting dust, this little jewel of a jukebox gets turned on 😁everyday!
Bought this for my husband for his birthday back in December...he loved it! Plays good, has great sound! You won't be disappointed if you purchase this. Lights up...one color or 3-4 colors while it plays...or you can leave it off
