Title: So far so good - will update periodically.
Review: Update 3/20/21: It's been a few months and no problems. Works just like the day I got it.--Update: Nice! I got some really quick answers, including from the seller, about the one thing that I was unsure about. Short version-- the turntable itself will be a little loose when all set up; this is normal/ideal. I'm really pleased with this unit and the fast response I got. Thanks much!I got this along with the three-year warranty, since reviews are indicating this product is fragile/prone to some issues. I only had one issue, which I'll detail toward the end of this review. I've asked a question relevant to that point, and will update my review to reflect what I hear back.So first of all, the unit I received appeared intact/undamaged from what I can tell and looking at the packaging. The whole thing is wrapped in plastic and ships in a box that says what it is on the outside. It comes with RCA cables. The instruction manual says it ALSO includes a 3mm aux out cable, but I didn't see that inside-- just the RCA cables. I don't see anything else that confirms that the cable should be in there, so, I'm guessing it's just a mistake with the manual print rather than a missing item.It probably doesn't need saying, but just in case, the lid does not open fully, but if you push the joint forward (toward you), it will lock open in place. You can close the lid without problems. It is open in the back to allow more space for records, so keep that in mind.I checked the FM, phono (vinyl), CD, and bluetooth functions. All of these worked perfectly. Note that the turntable will not spin until and unless you move the needle arm over to the record. Also don't throw out the needle protector! The instructions mention to keep these, but if I hadn't read it and hadn't been thinking, I would've tossed it.The CD has some limited programmability-- basically you can choose what order to play tracks in, on a disc. Nothing else really to mention on that function.The bluetooth worked perfect. I've had some devices be annoying and finicky whether they want to be recognized, and this wasn't one of them.Sound quality is all right-- if you're looking for something super loud with heavy bass, you'll want to plug in other speakers. I can't stand the "blow the dust off the speakers!" appeal, so this is fine for me. It does sound better when the unit is at least 8-10 feet away, sounds more balanced. For its size and for being an all-in-one, this is both acceptable and perfectly decent, no complaints. I'm used to listening from a pair of computer speakers when I don't have headphones on, so this is fine.My one issue-- (Reminder: Got an answer and this is fine apparently!)The turntable comes with a screw which is unscrewed to help keep the unit safe during transportation. The instructions say to TIGHTEN this screw before playing. I've seen some reviewers who I am guessing are confused, since they've loosened it instead. I was able to tighten this screw pretty easily, but the issue I have is that the turntable itself is not REALLY secure from doing this. You can still move it maybe 8mm/a third of an inch or so, just... around. This includes the turntable AND the arm, which I would expect to be, you know, screwed and fixed in place, immobile. It is not either of these things-- and it moves if I need to adjust the speed or anything like that. Now, when the record's playing, it seems totally fine, and it does play the records fine, but I was taken aback by this. I'm waiting on an answer to find out how problematic this is. For now, it seems to be working fine, but it definitely gives me pause, so to speak.So, that aside, I haven't had any OTHER problems, and I'm happy with it. If it turns out that's just normal, I can't say it seems like a sensible part of the design to me, but as long as it works, that's fine. Overall this is a very attractive, pleasant-sounding, versatile player. We'll see if it lasts-- I'll update this review periodically to reflect any problems that arise, or lack thereof.

Title: Looks nice, easy to use, sounds pretty good.
Review: Whether I paid $110 or $160, I can't remember, but at either price, it's worth it. It looks very nice, and turns out to be sturdy when the top is closed--my dog is now 62lbs and stood on top of it, no breakage. Not that I recommend that, but if it happens to happen, probably be alright. The vinyl sounds great, in fact maybe a little too great; I like the slight crackle that some older players cause, but this player plays it neat and crisp. The speakers are decent for the price range, and the volume adjustment is sensitive but not too sensitive. It is easy to set up, and easy to operate. Be SURE to read the setup instructions in regards to the record player+needle operation itself, there are a couple (easy) things you need to know that might not be common sense. It plays CDs just fine and the am/fm radio. The Bluetooth was easy to set up, took about 10 seconds to pair with my phone (samsung galaxy). Minor grumble is that the volume is then controlled by my phone which thinks turning the volume further is going to blow out my eardrums, and the volume max is therefore quite limited. If it ran through the Victrola, it would sound better and could be louder. Also, I do wish I had ordered the player with the remote. Maybe I can order one separately. Otherwise, I am really pleased with the purchase. Ah but the vinyl sounds so good, especially considering the price point. Happy listening!

Title: Kept putting it off, sorry I did
Review: Works great. Shipped quickly and packaged very well. It's nice to hear old records again. I would recommend. Great sound. It doesn't need external speakers unless you want more volume. It looks nice, is good quality, and I would buy it again.

Title: Classic Look with Modern Features but Some Drawbacks
Review: The Victrola Nostalgic 6-in-1 Record Player is a delightful blend of vintage aesthetics and modern functionality. While it offers a wide range of featuresâplaying vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and FM radio, plus Bluetooth streamingâthe initial setup has a few minor issues. The sound quality is decent, but the built-in speakers lack the bass depth I was hoping for, which might disappoint audiophiles looking for richer sound.The design is truly charming, evoking a sense of nostalgia with its wooden case and vintage details. Setting it up was straightforward, but I did encounter some confusion with the turntable's securing screw. The manual mentioned a 3mm aux cable that wasn't included, which could be an oversight or a misprint. Additionally, the Bluetooth volume is limited by my phone's settings, not the player's controls, which restricts its potential loudness.Despite these minor gripes, the unit works well. The turntable, CD, cassette, and radio functions operate smoothly, and the Bluetooth connectivity is quick and hassle-free. However, the lid doesn't open fully, which can be a bit inconvenient when handling records.For the best experience, consider pairing the record player with external speakers via the RCA outputs to enhance sound quality. This setup can greatly improve your listening experience, especially if you're using the turntable frequently.This record player is perfect for those who appreciate vintage style and modern convenience, but be prepared for some minor adjustments and additional equipment for optimal use.

Title: It works. It is lovely.
Review: Itâs a lot of fun and itâs just lovely! We havenât stopped playing it. The turntable works perfectly. Itâs nice to be able to play our old vinyl again. Havenât tried the cassette tape player yet, but everything else is working wonderfully. My only concern is that it is flimsy. The plastic parts are very cheap. The tray for the CD player is so delicate. I went ahead and ordered a protection plan for this Product. One wrong move and that CD tray will be cracked. However, itâs so charming and the speaker is nice which makes Itâs a lot of fun so Iâm still quite pleased with it overall.

Review: We purchased a "used -like new" option for $100 cheaper. Came in the original packaging, but it was in very good shape and everything works really nicely on it. Much better than the knock off we found at the recycle centre. Colour is nice and the sound quality is good for what you're getting.

Review: What you see is what you get. The speakers sound like vintage speakers which I love, and it looks great as a decorative piece. The Bluetooth connection is great and the tape deck plays amazing. Totally worth the price and would highly recommend
