Why is this a good deal?

Getting into the world of vinyl can be an expensive hobby — some record players cost thousands. The fact that this little guy is not only portable, but has built-in speakers for just 48 bucks is an absolute steal.

Why do I need this?

For starters, this record player oozes style. Just take a look at it! That powder-blue case hearkens to Sinatra and Nat King Cole. There are loads of other colors to choose from (red! lavender!) so you can get exactly what you want. At less than 3 pounds, you can move it from room to room and take it with you anywhere you go.

You can pick from three speeds to play nearly any kind of record. The feet are more than just a stylistic choice — they suppress vibration to ensure you have a consistent, steady listening experience without any annoying skips. The purchase also includes a spare needle in case the existing one stops working.

Built-in speakers mean you don't have to connect it to an existing sound system. You also don't have to worry about having "the touch" when starting up your vinyl. The input select knob, power/volume control, and auto stop switch take the guesswork out of getting your music started.

If you love the sound of vinyl, this record player is for you.
Win the holidays: Anyone who loves the sound of vinyl will adore this record player.

What reviewers say

More than 48,000 people have given this record player a perfect rating. "Loved it! It looks so beautiful and sounds amazing!" said one fan.

"There is something wonderful (and, okay granted, a bit magical) about listening to a record that's been mastered for that purpose on a turntable like the Victrola Vintage. A lot of indie/alt bands do it, and this Victora brings back those childhood memories of listening to 'records' over and over until you wore grooves in them because you couldn't afford a new needle. Yeah, we're talking the 80s, a paper route for income and I'm dating myself," said another fan.

Another shopper raved, "This record player is great! It plays all 3 record sizes, has an auto feature that stops spinning when the record is finished. The 2 built-in speakers work great, but you can also Bluetooth to wireless speakers. The suitcase is very well built and the hinges have a reinforced safety catch to prevent the lid from opening too far or putting too much stress on the hinge. The only downside is the real-life color of the blue was a little different from the website, but that is splitting hairs."

Anyone who wants to rock out old-school can just grab some vinyl and plop it down on this cherry-red player.
