it's just better than the rest of the cheap models

The dust cover could be a little bigger to cover the whole disc, but this is an understandable quality, seeing as this is supposed to be a more or less portable model.

I knew in buying a less expensive model, I shouldn't expect super high-quality sound, but decided to give this a whirl considering the positive reviews and best-selling status

I'm just glad I learned my lesson on a cheap model

Works sounds okay, and was way more reliable than more expensive models out there.

I debated purchasing it or a little more expensive model and went with it since I was just getting into Vinyl once more and wasn't sure if I would use it that much

this is probably fine, but if you want good sound quality I would spend a little more money for a better model.

This record player recommended by Amazon isn't too great of quality, it feels like a cheap plastic model that has a few structure issues

I've heard other cheaper models that friends have and honestly, this one blows them away

I have a defective model.
