Awesome sound, cool lighting. Like the docking feature, able to control the iPod with a remote. But I only paid $14 for it at Toys r Us, yes, fourteen dollars
Which Crosley record player should I buy?
I’ve decided on a Crosley for my first record player. Beyond that, I know next Crosley Jukebox to nothing about record players in general and I’m hoping someone could give some advice on which Crosley record player I should purchase for under $100. A good player for someone who has never had one before.Thanks a lot, any insight helps

I love this jukebox. Well worth the price. It’s got surprisingly powerful little speakers in it, and it’s beautiful to look at.
I saw the mixed reviews here, so I wanted to add my ‘5 cents’ as well.
First of all : For the same amount of money, you can probably find a better sounding iPod dock, but you won’t find a better looking one.
The sound is really not bad at all, I have definitely heard worse. After reading some of the reviews here, I expected a thin, bass-less sound, but that is definitely not the case. The built in speakers sound very good, and the volume can be cranked up high, without any distortion.
Also, there are hookups for external speakers (not included) which is very nice.
There is a ‘line in’ to hook up external devices (i.e. non-iPods).
The design is very nice. I own an original Wurlitzer 1015 and the details on this replica are actually quite accurate. Also, it was a great idea, to have a ‘remote control’ holder in the back of the unit.
I agree, that the actual iPod dock in front of the unit is a bit ‘fragile’, so you definitely need to be careful, when docking and un-docking your iPod.
Also, the unit works with the iPhone as well, but keep in mind, that this iJukebox was not made for it (i.e. if you do not activate the ‘Airplane Mode’ on your iPhone, there will be the occasional interfearance, when the phone accesses your Network). However, the iJukebox charges the iPhone and plays the music (this includes streaming Audio) with no problem. Even the remote control works with the iPhone.
So overall, I think this is a great iPod dock…. a bit pricy, but you definitely get something, that is nicer to look at, compared to most other iPod docks.
The sound was great. It filled the store w/ great sound and did not distort at high volume. I had to tap at the bottom of the bubbler to start it running, but that was in the instructions to do. After reading some of the negative reviews, I will keep the receipt just in case. Target is great about returns.
Crosley CR12-10 Full Size 10 CD Jukebox with Storage Base
Despite the negative ratings I read before I purchased this item, I was quite pleased with the sound quality and durability. My son was expecially happy with the sound quality and overall appearance.
THIS JUKEBOX IS ALL ITS CRANKED UP TO BE,FIRST OFF IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD IN MY MAN ROOM,THE SPEAKERS ARE SUPER CLEAR,THE LIGHT EFFECTS MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR IN YOUR FAVORITE BAR OR SPORTS PUB.FAIRLY EASY TO OPERATE,WHETHER USING THE RADIO,CD OR IPODDOCK.HOWEVER THE DIRECTIONS THAT CAME WITH SYSTEM COULD HAVE BEEN DONE A LITTLE CLEARER,THE ONLY DOWNSIDE TO THIS ITEM IS IT ONLY TAKES ONE CD AT A TIME,SO YOUR LIMITED TO THE MUSIC.ITS NOT AN ISSUE HOWEVER IF YOU USE THE IPOD DOCK.ALL IN ALL POSITIVELY WORTH THE MONEY.
Despite the fact that this jukebox was not created for Iphone 3GS (and you’ll get repeated alerts telling you so on your Iphone) it *is* working. Make sure the switch on the back of the unit is set to “internal speakers” and put your Iphone in Airplane mode (under the Settings icon on the Iphone home screen). It’s charging and playing great! And it’s a lot more fun than the generic black box units. I’m not an audiophile but I think it sounds great — at least as good as a 70’s boombox.
This is a stunning looking, great sounding remake of the classic Jukebox. The remote control is extremely handy when you fist wake up and all you have to do is hit play. The lights are psychedelic and light up the room in the dark. The only peeve I have is that you can’t turn off the lights with the remote, to do that you have to press the button yourself; that’s only a problem when I want to go to bed.
This guy is a winner. I picked mine up after season last year when it was discounted. I had been wanting one for about a year before that. This Jukebox is loud (for its size) and clear. Has the bonus of CD player and after a few minutes the bubbles start to flow on either side of the machine’s neon sides. Just like the old-style bubble jukeboxes of yesteryear. It definitely attracts attention in the room when turned on. I consider it a very good quality made electronic device. Crosley is not known for junk. I think any time you can pick up this item for under $100 you got a deal, but over that I would consider upgrading to a bigger Crosley jukebox system. If you can’t afford to own or have the space to have a full Jukebox, this desktop scale version is IT! Love it!
This is cute mini replica of an old Jukebox, plus it has an added cassette player!
great sound and appearance. Bought for a child’s birthday gift. More appropriate for an adult because of durability.
UPDATE: After about 3 months of rare use, the unit stopped responding to remote commands; due to the limited controls actually on the unit, I can no longer operate the CD player (at all) or change the volume. I’ve tried new batteries, and even an additional remote; very disappointing. The lights are still working, but without audio, it’s almost pointless.
2nd Update: The unit DOES still respond to remote commands; but I had to unplug the unit for a few minutes, then plug it back in. Now it’s working again. I don’t know why this happened, or why it worked, but I’ve used this “fix” twice already.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I bought this Crosley Bubbler iJuke CR-16 after seeing a similar Crosley in a store locally last Holiday season, but was gone when I went to buy one. I did a lot of research deciding which one to purchase; mostly within the Crosley line.
What I wanted (so you know the basis of this review): a pretty speaker set-up for a new Zune mp3 player which could also play CD’s, and ideally be controlled by my universal remote.
What this is: Very pretty, unobtrusive when the lights are off, OK quality machine.
How it works:
The built-in radio is controlled by a dial tuner which is usually hidden behind a flip-down piece of decoration.
The CD player is hidden within the “Crosley” slide-out tray.
There is a 1/8″ (mini stereo / standard TRS connector) input on the back for connecting mp3 players, etc.
A mostly-full-function remote, in 50’s styling, can be hidden/stored inside the back of the unit to help it from getting lost (nice touch).
There are auxiliary speaker output wiring jacks, which I haven’t tried, which I would assume from the data sheet would be OK but not very powerful.
Options/controls:
There is a toggle switch on the back where you can select to have the led “infinity” lights steady on, or flashing.
There is a toggle switch on the back by the mini jack input where you must select whether the radio/CD player are active – or the mini jack. (see complaint # 1 below “control”).
The push-button switch which turns the lights on or off is hidden behind the flip-down radio control display (see complaint #2 “control”)
Opinion / Review:
I wanted to put all of that information first, because it’s hard to find out the specifics of each of these units – and one should know what one is considering purchasing.
Sound Quality: “Good”. You must keep your expectations real; if you want a 700watt surround-sound speaker system; this is not for you. If you just want to be able to play a little music or listen to the radio – and don’t mind not having heavy bass; this can handle it.
Lights: “Great”. They claim there’s neon – but I’m a designer and I don’t believe them. I think there are either fluorescent tubes or LEDs behind there – which is fine with me. The lights are pretty exciting, and the bubbles are fun.
Bubbles: “Very Good”. When you turn the lights on, it takes about 15 minutes to “warm up” before the bubbles begin to bubble. Before then, they look just like one of the regular light tubes. I’m OK with that, not always patient, but physics are what they are. The challenge here is that often (about 40% of the time, informally) one side or the other doesn’t begin to bubble. You can usually hear an audible “chung” when the bubbles begin; to unstick the side that’s stuck, you lightly tap (brush-punch) the bottom housing of that tube. Not wonderful, but it does work easily every time.
Control: “Poor”. I purposely got this unit because it has a CD player and a mini-jack for my zune. The radio was a bonus – unfortunately, you have to flip a manual toggle switch (black by the way, surrounded by black) on the rear of the unit to go between auxiliary input OR the CD/radio. Why couldn’t this be a switch on the front? Better yet, why not make it electronic so it can be controlled by the remote?
The lights – let’s face it: that’s why you buy a mini juke box…for the light “show”. Otherwise; there are better speakers for you out there. My #1 complaint is that to turn the lights on, you have to flip-down the front of the unit, push a button, and flip back up the decoration. Not hard, but very inconvenient. Again; why not an electronic switch so it can be controlled by the remote?
If not for the poor control choices, this unit would have gotten 5 stars.
The bubbler feature on the juke box did not function. I contacted price pros and was told I would receive a shipping label and a new product neither of which I received. A week later I emailed them to finally get a return label to be told they are going to try to fix my NEW product by shipping it back to the manufacture. This was a gift?!?! Very Frustrating. The juke box looks good and sounds great. Waiting on the refurbished juke box. I was not offered a refund.
I was amazed at the great sound that boomed from this little Crosley Radio ijuke Jukebox. The bubbler is just like the ones on larger expensive sizes. The colors are great fun, and the size perfect. If you love music and like to dance you will go crazy over this jukebox. It makes me feel happy. Nonie
