Victrola Retro Wood Bluetooth Radio with Built-in Speaker,Elegant & Vintage Design, Rotary AM/FM Tuning Dial, Wireless Streaming, Walnut

Great little radio
I love the color, and the size is perfect for my office. It doesn’t take up too much space, but I like the look of it on my shelf. It picks up stations pretty easily – I didn’t unwind the antenna, and it picks up all the stations I was looking for. The Bluetooth works great and has great sound with my music from my phone.

Thank Goodness They Still Make Knobs
Our first priority was to find a Bluetooth speaker with a knob for volume control. The primary user has difficulty finding and pressing the +/- (plus and minus) buttons found on most speakers. The fact that our search for knob speakers turned up in vintage styles was an unexpected bonus. Apparently, knobs are considered so old fashioned that that’s the only way you can find them. But that’s fine. It only adds style to function.Next, it had to be sized right for the spot where it must sit in order to be reached. Several cool styles were just too big. One was too tiny and toy-like. This model was described as a middle-of-the-road size and turned out to be just about right.The sound quality was our next concern. We wanted it to sound decent but we weren’t going to spring for Bose, so we kept our expectations in check. Narrowing down the choices left us in one-speaker territory, so we hoped for the best. Sound quality is very subjective, so to us, it sounds decent. It can be heard fine, the volume is good for the range of use, the adjustable bass/treble knob helps (but we just put it in the middle), and the tracks sound like the quality of file that’s coming out of the computer. Is this a party box? Of course not. But for our room-range, simply listening to music purposes, we’re happy with the sound.The color wasn’t so important, but it’s nice that there are color choices. We liked the oak color in the picture, but it was labeled walnut. Hmm? Could be a typo, so we went with that over the awful dark color or the expensive light color. Why items have different prices for different colors, we’ll never know. It’s the exact same thing! But we digress. When it came in, the oak color on the box was right, but the item itself is definitely a darker walnut color. Apparently, nobody makes anything in oak color anymore. It’s very hard to find. But the walnut is tolerable.The radio is immaterial to us. It’s cute to have a dial there for retro looks, but we have no intention of using it. This is only a Bluetooth speaker to us. Incidentally, the Bluetooth connected to the computer in a flash! We never even opened the manual. It’s self-explanatory to set the dial to BT mode, turn it on, and then go into the computer settings and Add A Device. Boom! Victrola showed up and Elvis was playing instantly!The power cord was an unexpected bonus. We may have assumed a rechargeable battery, but the description does say corded electric. Honestly, we read about so many speakers, we can’t remember what we thought its power source was. As it turns out, the power cord is great. The fact that it’s plugged in means that it can play forever, just like the old days when you didn’t have to think about charging every device before you can use it.

Great Radio but FM Antenna a Problem
Good sound, easy to use dials, cute design. Only issue for me was the antenna was tied on itself in a figure 8 on the back, almost impossible to unravel. Husband worked for half an hour with tools to get it unraveled.

Two years later, still using it daily with no issues!
What’s not to love? It’s small, portable, reliable, works great even after regular daily use for 2 years, and just makes me feel cozy in my space! Beautiful blend of a vintage aesthetic with modern functionality.

Performs well. Decent sound. Good reception, even in remote areas. Vintage look. Perfect kitchen radio if that is what you desire. Bluetooth range is better than most devices. Easy to use for the Elderly.

I really like the overall quality of this radio. It is simple to use, attractive, and has terrific reception and tone. The construction appears quite good but the finish is not wood but plastic that does resemble wood. It is a neat package and its compact size does not take up much shelf space yet still allows for good sound quality. I also like that you can choose between three different sources and can adjust the tone to suit what you are listening to (it has a good bass sound which enriches music very nicely). It is a worthwhile purchase and, in my opinion, fully deserves five stars based on appearance, sound quality, and function.

Muy bonito, le gustó mucho fue de regalo cumple perfectamente su función
