The Cruiser Deluxe fit my criteria to a T: It’s a very basic record player that sounds good, looks great and costs under $100. (Realistically, I also couldn't.) I wanted something stylish, functional and affordable, and I wasn’t overly concerned with perfectly crisp sound.
I knew going into the shopping process that a record player is a worthwhile investment for many people, but I wasn’t willing to spend hundreds of dollars (or perhaps even thousands) on a device I’d be using for background noise. A year later, I’m still just as obsessed as when it first came out of the box. A few TikTok videos and Pinterest photos later, I gave in and bought my own turntable at the start of last year: the Crosley Cruiser Deluxe.
Several of my friends already had record players they loved when I started looking for my own, and I’ve seen them all over social media over the last few years (vinyl sales hit $1 billion in 2021, their biggest year since 1986). I’m the type of person who always needs some background music, and I’ll usually reach for my record player for casual listening when I’m cooking, cleaning or simply existing at home.
