Crosley is a very old name with an excellent reputation. Our Crosley is a couple of years old now and looks and operates like new.

I have had the worse luck with Crosley...the first Crosley I ordered the CD player didn't work so I sent it back. The second Crosley I ordered the CD player broke at the one year mark. They will not warranty it now. We have left 3 messages to Crosley so we can pay to have it fixed and they won't call us back. I also bought a Crosley record player for my daughter and it came broke too.

The pros to this product is it's look, but it doesn't even look very good now with the CD player stuck open.

In my opinion I wouldn't buy anything made by Crosley.

I have had very good luck with this system. The sound is excellent. The remote control works well.

I had been eyeing this unit since I saw it in the SkyMall catalogue. I was pleased to know that a department store at a local mall was selling them for the price listed in the magazine. I paid my $200, brought it home, and began testing all the functions. I recorded a tape from CDs and records, and not one hour after I had bought it, the CD player got stuck. When I pressed "Eject", the machine thought that the CD tray was open because it read "Open" on the screen. I unscrewed the faceplate to remove my CD and decided that if need be, I could live with a shoddy CD player if the rest of it worked all right.

Not long after that, the tape player was malfunctioning. Every button I pressed seemed to think that it was the fast-forward button- even the STOP button. I decided it was a piece of junk and returned it the next day

When I came to return the item, I forgot the credit card with which I had bought it, so I exchanged it for another to see if it was any better. When I got home and plugged it in, the CD player did not work at all. I returned that one the next day and got all of my money back.

In short, this item is a waste of time and money. The record player is fine- I have a Crosley record player and it performs beautifully, but this 4-in-1 unit is bunk. The fact that it is being sold for 200-250 dollars is robbery. Crosley should stick to what they know best and leave newer technology out of their products.

I bought this record player a little more than a year ago and it has been great. It has worked on every record I put in it and always came out clear. I was surprised by the quality and give it five stars.
