Works well for a small unit
I live in a tiny studio condo and wanted something small to play my CDs, LPs, and to listen to the local radio. Sounds good to me and takes up almost no space. Easy to use manually as well. I don’t need another remote laying around. Not sure the wire antenna does anything but I live in town so reception is fine. No, it isn’t audiophile sound but I wasn’t looking for that. All plastic and very light too. Good purchase for me.

Fantastic purchase, so glad we went with this one
So, it's only day one of having this player. But we absolutely LOVE it.The record player works fantastically. Bluetooth connected like a dream radio comes in clear. Havent tried any cassettes yet, but will soon. All sound is clear as a bell.The only con so far, is we do wish the volume would go higher. We will be needing to add speakers if we want more volume. Don't expect to really jam the heck out if you're partying *but* it does get loud enough for general music listening.This would 100% make a great gift for any music lover, and I feel like the price point was unbeatable for it's worth.Edit, 3 years later: I still absolutely love this record player!

Very good for digitizing
I would say the most important consideration is the purpose of the device. This device has a lot of built in features for digitizing legacy media like vinyl records and cassette tapes. I've found that it is excellent for this function and I've already digitized several vinyl records - 45s and LPs, and several cassette tapes. However for the function of daily enjoyment of legacy media, this is not the best choice.Opening the box, there was an insert stating that the company had no control over the environment the product may have been in during shipment, and this may have affected the belt that controls the turntable. It showed diagrams showing simple step by step instructions on how to correct this. It seemed very simple - something that I could do that could save me the trouble and delay of returning it. However, I had no issues with the belt - the turntable worked perfectly out of the box.This device has an FM radio that works very well, however I feel that the claim that it has an AM radio is misleading. It technically does have an AM radio, but it won't tune to every frequency on the AM band, instead it jumps from one preset frequency to another. For example, in my city, the dominant AM station is AM 770, but as I turn the tuning knob, it jumps to 664, then 773, so it's impossible to tune to AM 770. However, for my digitizing project I have no need for an AM radio so this isn't a factor for me, but it could be an issue if the device were used for general purpose entertainment.It has two speakers built into the device and they are "loud enough" but not room-filling. It has a headphone jack, so you could use an adapter to hook up powered speakers to this jack. It does not have any RCA ports in the back of the device. The Bluetooth feature is for inbound signals, not outbound.If you look closely, the stylus component is red. From research online, this is an indication that this is a ruby-tipped "needle" with a ceramic cartridge. For daily enjoyment of vinyl media, audiophiles recommend a diamond tipped "needle" with a magnetic cartidge. They say a diamond tip lasts longer and offers better performance. However, for digitizing, this thing seems to work fine, to be honest. They say the ruby tipped stylus should be replaced after 200 plays, but the replacement stylus seems cheap, and the replacement instructions seem simple.For these digitizing systems, some of them have a front loading cassette deck, which is what I'm familiar with, but this one has a side-loading design. From researching online, this is because the designers used a design that was originally intended for cars. It makes sense. For a car, you have a limited amount of space to work with, and you just want to play the tape - you don't want to mess with it while you're driving. For me, this caused some confusion, but here are the rules. There is no traditional pause, fast forward, or rewind. You pop in the cassette and it plays immediately. When you're done, you press the eject button to remove it. On the front of the device there are stop, play/pause, fast forward, and rewind buttons. These may be intended for the CD because they have no effect on the cassette tape.Digitizing is very easy, but the steps are not intuitive. First plug in a flash drive, then select the appropriate mode (vinyl/cassette) by pressing the "MODE" button. Press "REC". Wait for "USB" to flash. Then press "REC" again. It should start flashing "rec". Then press the "play/pause" button. Now the "rec" indicator should stop flashing. At this point either start playing the record or pop in the cassette. When you're done, press the "stop" button, then press the "rec" button. That sequence can be important. Getting it wrong may cause the system to not save the recording. It creates a directory on the flash drive named "REC" and it stores the MP3 files there.Once nice thing about this device is that it uses a sample rate of 96Khz, which is very good. For comparison, CDs use a sample rate of 44.1 Khz.This device has a convenient remote that allows you to turn it off and on, quickly select the mode, and change the volume.I tested the bluetooth and CD functions. It played my CD, and I was able to digitize a song from YouTube Music. I'm not sure why I would need to do that, but it's possible.In summary, this is a very good tool for digitizing your vinyl records and cassette tapes. It supports speeds of 33, 45, and 78, but I've only used the first two speeds. If you are looking for a device for the daily enjoyment of your legacy media, you may want consider a different option.Right now I'm listening to a cassette recording that I made back in 1996. The playback and digitizing functions work great. After this I'll use WavePad to trim the ends. The volume is already optimized on the digital file.Tip: When you pop in the cassette you have to position the cassette so that the side with the exposed tape is facing the back of the device. From this perspective, the tape is pulled from right to left, so you probably want most of the tape to be on the right side of the cassette.

Doesn’t work well
Does not want to play cds on first load or second. Tapes do not want to slide into deck at times and get hung up. Seller did allow me to return for refund but refund has not been issued. They have had item for quite a few days now.

Functions as advertised, but sound quality is lacking.
Functions as advertised, but sound quality is lacking. This product does do what it says it will do - it digitizes cassettes using an internal player, it digitizes from the built-in phonograph, and you can hook up an external source as well. The unit digitizes the signal onto a USB Thumb drive.If all you want is to preserve the sound, this will do the trick. If you care about the quality of the sound (music in particular) there are better solutions.

Disappointing
I am in my mid 50s and I’ve been collecting music since junior high school. So, I have 45s, 33’s, cassettes and CDs. I purchased the stereo because it has all three and a Bluetooth feature for downloaded music and for wireless headphones. The CD player cassette player worked great and the 45s play nicely. The speakers aren’t that great but it’ll fill a small room with good sound and if you wanna crank up the sound put on wireless headphones. However, it will not play full size albums, without hitting the needle arm or wobbling. I’ll keep this one around to play cassettes and CDs, but I’m afraid I’m going elsewhere to play albums, very disappointing.
