This is my first record player and it is perfect for me. The design is really sleek and modern looking, fits well with my decoration. Ascetics aside this was super simple to put together and use. The bluetooth picked up quickly and I had no issues getting my record to play. I was able to switch to different modes with ease. The speakers have volume, it can get LOUD, which is a definite plus. I'm really enjoying this, its a great addition to my home.
