Is the Crosley Cruiser really THAT bad?

Spot on - excellent job.

Audiophiles: Don't buy this. Its crap. Also audiophiles: You need to buy this $1000 rock and put it on top of your speaker amplifier to get rid of interference.

So, to conclude: - Yeah they're pretty bad for a record player, if you're looking to buy one you should probably avoid it - That said, they're affordable and good for beginners who don't want to make a huge investment - They aren't going to ruin your records. Audiophiles are exaggerating.

" It sounds drunken. That's probably more Don Ho's fault than Crosley's fault." You have no idea how much I laughed. Love you videos. Thanks.

I love how you gave the facts and didn’t just tell people not to buy it. It’s great for beginners, no one needs to be shamed for owning one

I love your message of not belittling people who have these. That snobbish behaviour only drives people away. Thanks for the in-depth review

1:15 “This is a stupid hobby why did I get into this?” Omg that’s literally me two seconds into doing anything new

thank you for this actually honest review, people who are just getting into vinyl should not have to spend $200 for a hobby they may not enjoy.

you literally eased my anxiety so much. i received one for christmas and after watching videos on it i had a break down. after watching this i feel so much better. thank you!

It's midnight and I'm watching a review of a record player...

I started of with one of these ( not this exact model ), and i have to say that: 1. Its amazing if you want to save some money and cant afford an expensive one 2. It doesn't damage the vinyls Its not the best ofc! But if you just wanna enjoy some music this way now and then, i think it will get the job done!

Just bought this yesterday to play my dads records. He passed last week. It is good enough for me to listen to a couple of records when I miss my dad. Thanks for the review

I know it's not a great turntable, but in my opinion if it's all a kid can afford and gets them interested in vinyl there's nothing wrong with it. Everyone has to start somewhere. Then you advance. In the beginning you saw Kremer bashing the crosley. He has a 90 thousand dollar turntable with a 30 thousand dollar tone arm. I'd like to ask him what his first f'n turntable was. He's probably embarrassed to say.

Do you wanna know which is the best turntable you can get? THE ONE YOU CAN AFFORD

Dude I’m 18, I don’t have thousands of dollars for a professional one, it’s cute, portable and honestly I’m not mad about the music

We need more people like you that actually show the tests they did. It gives the viewer a feeling of safety. Really appreciate your efforts man!

I’ve played one record like 20 time on my Crosley, it’s fine,

Thanks for doing an honest review on this turntable and not just trashing it like everyone else does. 2 years ago I only had like 5 records because I had just started buying them and my aunt got me this Crosley record player as a gift. I was so excited to have a record player and I thought it was so cool. Then I realized how much hate this thing gets. People act like your records are going to get completely destroyed from using it. I used it for 2 years and never had a problem. It works fine, and if you're a beginner it's a great affordable option. I just got an upgrade but I'm keeping this record player as a backup.

my mother got one of these as a gift for my father and I had been avoiding this video in fear to hear it was horrible and wound ruin my father's dear old records, I'm glad to see from the comments alone this isn't the case. Either way he is no tech guru and he is happy to hear his songs "in the crisp original quality"

Fun note: If you ever lose one of those clips which was holding down the platter, you can get a replacement easily at a car parts store. I couldn't find one at any hardware store, but Autozone had 'em!
