The Crosley Cruiser Record Player, first impression
Well, the first impression is good, very good even. The design is very 
nice. We had the privilege to see both the one with the black case and red inside and the pink one. The deep red interior immediately attracts the eye when the player is open. Making this model suited for placement in sight.
With all the available colors, the player is suited for both retro or more modern customers. The handy easy quick start guide ensures that you will be enjoying music within a minute.
Sound quality
The sound is okay, not bad and not great. This player is fit for bringing atmosphere but needs external speakers for a party. With the RCA these can be easily hooked up. Is does produce the characteristic vinyl sound, so the vinyl feeling is there.
Portability
This is one of the key elements of this model. With the suitcase design, the vinyl instrument is easy to transport. Giving you the opportunity the bring it with you wherever you go.
Other features and manufacturer
With this being one of the cheaper models, there are few extra functions.The RCA cable and jacks give you the opportunity to hook up external speakers or a headphone if you want to enjoy your music in private. Also you can plug your Ipod or phone and listen from your phone.
With Crosley Radio being a well-known brand in the industry, and being famous for their old school musical instruments, you know that when buying a Cruiser that you will buy it from a company that already produced radio’s during your grandparents youth. This long history is giving them extreme knowledge about the market and products. Surviving for so long and still on top of the chain does mean that they are good in what they are doing.
