While a turntable like the Pro-Ject Debut Pro could be considered a serious piece of hi-fi, suitcase models like the Crosley Cruiser Deluxe are essentially toys. That's OK, and as long as you treat them as such you shouldn't run into any problems.  Whether turntables like this will destroy your records or not, though, is hotly contested, but the moving parts can be of a fairly basic quality. For example, the stylus on our Cruiser review unit was a chunky plastic/ceramic combo instead of the aluminum/diamond you'd see on almost any other turntable. The stylus itself was also quite large, which could lead to greater wear, and when plugged into a separate hi-fi the player sounded like an AM radio. The other factor that could lead to damage is that it is typically children who use these suitcase record players, and they aren't as careful with their records as experienced users. While we know people who've used suitcase models without issue, it is worth paying a bit more for a player like the Audio Technica LP60, which offers superior build quality and also sounds better.
