Review by Lux for Crosley CR711 Autorama Turntable with AM/FM Radio, Brushed Chrome Rating: I just wanted a very simple unit to play records on. This is adorable looking, but made of that absolute worst material and is so ill-put together. Despite the fact that I was able to fix a piece that was broken during shipment, it stopped working after ONE record play! So sad... it's so attractive! Invest in something without being wowed by its appearance.

Review by J. Coulter for Crosley CR711 Autorama Turntable with AM/FM Radio, Brushed Chrome Rating: I bought this for my fiance just recently. After looking over all the record players i could find i went for this one for 2 reasons. It had the aux. outputs to run to a stereo system and it was the best priced system with that feature.
The radio looks great we love the old looking display and love the sound that coems form our record collection.
If you are looking for a record with the above features for a great value, this is the one for you!

Review by John E. Heiss for Crosley CR711 Autorama Turntable with AM/FM Radio, Brushed Chrome Rating: Although I received the retro unit expected, it did not work as it was unacceptable in performance. The first LP played sounded as if something was dragging the turn table. The next 3 records also dragged. Very dissapointed in the variable speed of the record and the sound produced. Hi-Fi was not not expected but uniform sound reproduction was expected. I used an electronic timer and taped marks on the turn table and the base to determine the RPM of the turn table. The test was done both with and without a record in place. The results after many measurements: ALL TESTS RESULTED IN READINGS LESS THAN 331/3 RPM AND WERE VARIABLE BETWEEN 3O AND 33 RPM. A real drag!!!

Review by Glenda K. Petz for Crosley CR711 Autorama Turntable with AM/FM Radio, Brushed Chrome Rating: I had been shopping around for a record player for a long time and finally settled on the Crosley CR711 retro, red in color. I went with Crosley because I know it was a name I could trust. I was so excited when I received my record player...that is, until I put the first record on. The music sounded like the record was warped, although I knew it wasn't. I kept trying different records, still the same quality. To make a long story short, after multiple e-mails and phone calls, Crosley agreed to have the record player returned to them for repair at their expense. Again, another disappointment. That was two weeks ago. I had to pay for the shipping, I still have not received my record player, and when I sent another e-mail, I was told a part had to be ordered and the record player was still under repair. The whole experience - VERY disappointing! It's not like I can cough up another $130.00 for a record player!!!

Review by Michael Anderson for Crosley CR711 Autorama Turntable with AM/FM Radio, Brushed Chrome Rating: The Turntable on this unit is very cheap and is made of very lightweight plastic. This causes the turntable to be weighed down when you place a record on it, which in turn causes the record to rub against the edges of the unit... resulting in a warped sound output. If you want to spend 150.00 on a old fashion looking radio, go right ahead. But if you want to spin LP records without them sounding warped, don't waste your time and money. Looks cool, sounds and performs lousy.
