Victrola Eastwood Bluetooth Record Player (Bamboo)

I know this isn't the top of the line player, it's a simple all in one record player. I noticed they updated the model and it says improved sound quality and I wanted a player that I could use for less critical situations where I want to play a record but don't want to use my large stereo setup. They did improve the sound quality (I had tried a previous version of this that I thought sounded pretty poor tbh) and they even used an audio-technica stylus so I know that will be better and easier to find replacements for down the road. Overall it was a slight gamble that I wanted to take and in the end it turned out to be a good thing.

Bought my own Christmas present and I am obsessed. Love my small record player. Works great

Victrola's Eastwood record player is the least expensive turntable they sell with a solid, professional-sounding output. Less expensive models lack bass and sound tinny. For special features on vinyl, I need a turntable that doesn't automatically lift the needle before the label (some albums have tracks hidden under the label), has three speeds, and a method to plug in a recording device to get a digital output. This is the one. I know Victrola's price for this model. Walmart was practically giving them away at half off. How can they afford that? I'm very happy with this purchase.

sounded really nice at first but started making a clicking sound not related to the vinyl records.

The only issue I've had is that when playing a 45 rpm single, it prematurely believes the record is over and auto stops and returns the tone arm to the stop position. I was able to get past that issue by turning off the auto eject with the switch near the speed switch.

The record player is easy to use and the cartridge is surprisingly good for a discount machine. The sound quality isn't audiophile, but for the money it is fine. I use it at my office on top of a wardrobe so it is more for background than nearfield listening. For that it sounds great! If you need better speakers you can use the audio out to quickly hook up an amp and better speakers. Bluetooth pairs well and plays music well. A phone call interrupts things and you basically have to re-pair the phone to the machine after a call. The turntable is easy to use. It has a lift lever for raising the tone arm as well as stopping when the record is over. I deducted one star for the lid design. If you get it wrong you can easily damage a record, so to save 2” each way the lid puts your vinyl at risk. A little care and it is i problem. Could have been easily designed better.

The needle was broken

We got a Revolution a couple of years ago and love it. I recently ordered this for my husband and the sound is super tinny. I've played the same record on each one and there is a huge difference. I wish I would have just gotten another Revolution, but I thought this was a step up. Not sure if the overall quality has gone down or just this model is a step down. I'm not an audiophile or anything, just want a decent sound like the other player. Disappointed.

well, we didn't get to use it because it would not connect to Bluetooth. onboard speakers were as you would expect but we wanted to use our Bose. would not connect. returned

Turntable wouldn't rotate upon delivery. Returning and exchanging for another one. If the next one works I'll update the review.
