Tried to play a record and the needle just skipped all over the place. I added some weight to the arm (2 dimes and a penny) and it works fine. You have to make sure it is level. A little off and the needle skips right across the record.
The radio works fine, just like any portable radio with a wire antenna. Since the tuner isn't digital it takes some time to tune in a station.
Bluetooth works pretty well. I use it in a small room so I don't have any issues with being too far away. I have a Chromecast audio connected and it works great.
CD player worked fine the one time I tried it.
I haven't tried a cassette or playing music from usb.
Recording from the record player works pretty well. You can handle the breaks between songs manually or let it put them in automatically. It is really cool that you can record to CD or usb.
The sound is good but not great. It is what I expected from a machine like this.

Overall I really like it but it stopped working after a month of occasional use. There is no way to get inside this thing without cutting something. I ended up cutting the back panel in half and removing the bottom so I could get inside. There was an issue with the transformer or the little circuit board it connected to. I ended up replacing it with a DC power supply and it is working like new again.
It is worth the price for all of the options but just don't expect it to be great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Put a classic spin on music with this Victrola record player. It lets you play vinyl records or cassette tapes, and the AM/FM radio works with a rotary knob for vintage-style tuning. This 8-in-1 Victrola record player has two built-in stereo speakers and the option to wirelessly connect via Bluetooth to external speakers.

Crapped out after a handful of uses

There are a lot of features that make this seem like a good buy. The sound is ok for a small room. I had to add coins to the arm to be able to play a record without skipping. Bluetooth worked pretty well. It had decent range. I mostly used the auxiliary port to connect a chromecast audio. I used it maybe once or twice a week for the month I've had it and listened to a record a few times. I turned it on today and it flashed and its done. Won't turn on.
I would not waste money on this record player.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
