Crosley Cruiser Deluxe Vintage 3-Speed Bluetooth Suitcase Turntable, Black

Product Information

A few TikTok videos and Pinterest photos later, I gave in and bought my own turntable at the start of last year: the Crosley Cruiser Deluxe. The tonearm is securely held, and while the build quality is mostly decent for the money, attention to detail is poor. For better sound, you’ll want to hook it up to external speakers, or get a player that is not a suitcase style. It is a simple and easy process of you customizing the sound quality of the turntable to your taste.

This record player from Victrola is a lot like the Crosley one — it features a similar suitcase design, a Bluetooth function and an auto-stop switch that stops spinning records once they’re finished playing. This record player still rocks its charming suitcase-style shell, but now you can dial in the record's speed with advanced pitch control adjustments or easily sync to the Bluetooth connection and stream digital music right through the built-in speakers. The two most popular alternatives to the Crosley Cruiser are the Electrohome Archerand the 1byone Suitcase Style Turntable.Powel Crosley had accumulated his fortune before now in the accessories and automotive parts business. It’s slightly heavier at 12 pounds, which can help prevent the vibrations of the turntable from becoming audible, Thomas Rasmussen, the owner of Rasmussen Turntable Repair, previously told us in our guide to record players.

Crosley cruiser deluxe is a charming and lightweight turntable that allows you to mobilize your music. The Denon DP-300F Turntable is a fully automatic turntable that both lowers the tonearm and stops running at the end of the record on its own — all you have to do is load your record onto the platter and let the machine do the rest. And heavy tracking is potentially far less damaging than the bouncy surfaces these might be used on.

The Cruiser’s tracking weight is a serious issue, and the turntable’s speakers are a disappointment. His company around 1925 was the largest manufacturer of radios, where he made more funds to venture into other businesses and the later record player. The Cruiser has three speed controls - 33 ⅓, 45 and 78 rpm, with a separate adjustment included for singles.
