GPO Chesterton DAB Record Player Retro 7-in-1 Music Centre with Vinyl Turntable, CD Player, USB, FM Radio, DAB Radio, Cassette Player, AUX IN and Built-In Speakers-Wood Finish

Great to have so many ways to play music in a compact player. I was worried it’d look plasticky but it’s attractive with modern controls integrated sympatheticallyThe cassette has a solid thunk when loaded and no controls seem to work to stop/fast forward/rewind but it sounds okThe biggest problem on set up was how concise the instructions were. The time set up instruction via front panel didn’t work, online version not edited to correct it. Time set via remote straightforward but use of DAB set it automatically which wasn’t mentioned. The labelling wasn’t clear on a few things, reading product description here had solved the mystery of what the round piece back of record player area is (adaptor for 45s with large centre hole). There’s no information about how to replace record needle and what type to buy.Despite all of those niggles when you’ve worked out a few things the product works well and great to revisit some music I haven’t heard for years and play radio/music from phone on Bluetooth.

Love the vintage look plays CDs tapes vynal does everything I'm really happy with my purchase I bought the speaker and it has an amazing sound this is one of my best buys this year

-Very good service! (They contacted me because I’m living in Belgium and ordered UK version (UK plug), so they changed it to a EU version.-Shipping was faster than announced-The Chesterton DAB is absolutely beautiful and does not look cheap-Easy to use, sound is good (except the PHONO player that sometimes sound weird)-I like the fact that you can plug extra speakers at the back.

I love it, very nice quality, real walnut wood external cover, but also good sound quality for the level of speakers and price. Great value for money 👍🏻!

First off, a confession. I didn't expect it to sound great, but the plan was to use the line out to my Sonos system anyway, so I wasn't surprised by the lack of quality of the built-in sound. Playback through the Sonos isn't at all bad.So, the good bits, I like the design, the fact it has most of the features I wanted for my non-streamed music was promising. The cassette player is extremely basic, it plays a tape and that's it. Haven't found a way to fast forward or rewind a tape. The only way I've found of stopping is to switch function to cd or something. The CD player is slightly better, but if you're using the line-out you get noise switching functions which is quite loud (reminds me of an old 70's amp which had push buttons for selecting the function). DAB works, but without the use of the remote, I've only been able to scroll through the stations on the front, and not then actually select the displayed station, although this works fine via the remote. FM radio is actually the easiest thing to use via the front panel controls and works fine. The recond deck works OK but needs a light to see the controls, I played a couple of 12" LPs so far and the sound is OK but quite. Bluetooth pairing was straight forward and works fine.Most functions seem better served via the remote, than the front panel. Annoying things found so far, the FM dial is not illuminated, lack of functionality on the front panel, there is only standby not an actual off. Overall it seems to be bits thrown together and not been subject to being designed overall - for example, the LCD panel shows the function selected, yet you get a blue led shown in the FM dial when streaming from Bluetooth along with the LCD telling you Bluetooth is in use, the DAB, and cassette controls on the front panel don't work, yet work on the remote; if you're using the line out for payback, it's weird, when after powering off at the mains, when powered back on the speakers have volume and not quite like they were before the power was turned off. The retro look is fine, but then why stick earphones, aux in and USB and those LEDs in the FM dial, why not hide the inputs behind a flap, and do away with those darn LED's, in the FM dial, and add some illumination for the record deck. This may all sound quite negative, but the overall package is 'adequate' and for the occasional times I'm not streaming music, it will be fine I'm sure - it's just a little quirky.

Got this for my partner for Christmas. He absolutely loves it, sounds great, looks great! Highly recommended

I love this retro radio but unfortunately have had to return it.Its record, cd, tape, DAB, usb and bluetooth and the idea was brilliant but the only fault with it was the fact when its in standby mode you get a constant high pitched whistling sound you can hear over the other side of the room.Hubby looked into this and said it was a fault with cheap capacitors so eventually they will pop.£172.28 was the purchase price so its a lot of money for a faulty product.The same item has been reviewed on the argos website and a man has said that his is doing the same thing.Shame that its had to go back because it was a nice little radio.Anybody that has got one and its whistling id advise to unplug it unless you are using it or send it back if you are still within the return timeframe.Very upset ive had to return it.

Absolutely brilliant. Bought as a present for my partner and he loves it. A little tinny at high volumes but much better than expected for the size and price of the unit. Can't fault it at all!
