I agree it's a piece of junk!November 30, 2008 I purchased this Crosley 4-1 unit thinking this would be great to have all units in one. I have old LPs and cassettes and CD's. I did not want to try to replace all my old music. I purchased this for Christmas 2006 and I had a little trouble with the dials and the CD player ejecting but it seemed to get better. Then when I don't use it for awhile it just seems to get worst. Now I've been trying to play my CD's and Cassettes and can't get it to work at all. You can't tell for sure sometimes if it's on because the lights don't always work either. Now I've had it for two years and I don't believe I have my receipt any longer so I'm sure they won't take it back. But I wanted to forwarn anyone thinking of getting it or anyone that has already purchased it to beware I'm sure it will not last long. I have had trouble from the start and now it's just a piece of junk.
PIECE OF JUNK!September 14, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this system, at LNT, as a Christmas gift for my husband. He has been wanting a record player for years! I thought that this unit would be an excellent choice because it had the extra features of the CD player, tape player, and MP3 hook up. The first system's CD player broke, so we returned it to LNT and took home a new unit. The second unit's CD player recently broke too! Two broken systems in less than a year! That is unacceptable! LNT has a great policy! We just took it in, told them it broke, and received store credit! We will never buy from Crosley again!
Piece of Junk that the Manufacturer doesn't stand behindAugust 12, 2008 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Seemed like a cute piece to put on my nightstand. But it took only a couple of months for the record player speed to drop below acceptable speeds. Attempts to contact the manufacturer were unreturned. Great idea for a product, too bad it wasn't executed by someone with quality control or customer satisfaction in mind.
Beautiful unit but.....July 5, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I purchased this at Target less than 5 months ago. It's a gorgeous unit and fits in really well with our decor. Over all I liked it, but the speakers started to fuzz out early on and I was not "blasting" it or anything. For some reason it especially didn't like harp music and you could hear the speakers rattling around at a moderate volume. I could deal with that even, but then the CD player went bad. Sometimes it would play and sometimes you could just hear the disk spinning around and around. I would put it back in over and over and only sometimes would it "catch" and play. I tried to return it to Target but it was beyond their 90 day return policy. I called Crosley and was told I had to pay to have it shipped back to them, and then pay another 20 bucks to have them look at it and then pay to have it shipped back to me. The unit was around 100 bucks, by the time I have to pay for shipping to and fro and 20 bucks to have them look at it, I could just buy another one. I was really disappointed with their customer service, and I'm a bit leery to try again.
Gorgeous unit and it could have been just my bad luck on this one, but hold on to your receipts!!
Very happy with this system! :)May 28, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have had this system since Christmas, so that would be about 6 months now. I agree with one previous review that the dial that switches the functions is hard to read, but I just know that the far left is radio, next is tape, then record, etc...
The sound is very good. I like how you have the option of hooking up larger speakers in the back if you have them. Also, I'm not sure what some people are talking about, mine does not play anything fast. I'm a musician, my father is a musician, I would notice it playing fast. Could just be that some of the systems aren't right, but mine works fine.
Very happy to ditch all of my other clunky systems and combine into something smaller. I recommend it!
