How we ranked these turntables

Every pick ranks in Amazon's best-seller list for its category and has a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

  • Built-in phono preamp weight 2
  • Bluetooth weight 1
  • USB audio to computer weight 1
  • Built-in speakers weight 1

Buying advice: record player under 100

Compare speeds, connections and controls

All four turntables play 33 1/3, 45 and 78 RPM records, so speed alone does not separate them. Compare connections next: all four offer Bluetooth input and RCA output, while the TANLANIN suitcase turntable adds USB recording to a computer and the Crosley adds a cueing lever with adjustable pitch control. Compare controls last: the TANLANIN vintage turntable adds adjustable bass and treble, while the Udreamer adds a tonearm lifter and a detachable dust cover.

Check speakers, weight and warranty

Built-in speakers let a turntable play without external speakers. The Crosley, the TANLANIN suitcase turntable, the Udreamer and the TANLANIN vintage turntable all offer built-in speakers. Weight differs: the Crosley weighs 7.2 lb, the TANLANIN suitcase turntable weighs 6 lb and the Udreamer weighs 4.9 lb. Warranty differs too: the Crosley carries a 1-year warranty, the TANLANIN turntables carry 24-month warranties and the Udreamer carries a 30-day warranty.

Set up for first listening

Place the turntable on a steady surface and connect speakers or headphones if needed, then lower the needle with the cueing lever where one is fitted. The Crosley includes a cueing lever for lowering the needle, and the Udreamer includes a tonearm lifter for the same job. Use auto stop where fitted to stop the turntable at the end of a record, and keep the dust cover closed between sessions where one is fitted.
