Arkrocket Full Size Jukebox Vinyl Record Player Bluetooth USB SD CD Player Radio Retro Turntable Classic Jukebox (Taurus II + Stand - Oak)

I bought the Arkrocket Saturn V Full Size Jukebox with Stand. Well I was shocked at the big difference between this one and their cheaper model. This one has lots and lots of extras that the cheaper model just doesn’t have. This model is well worth the extra money! Let me tell you a little about this one. First off it has many ways of playing your Music. It can use a USB A Flash drive or USB C with an adapter on it (up to 999 songs per drive), an SD Card, a CD Player, a Turntable (78, 33 1/3 &45 RPM) with a Magnetic Cartridge and Record return, an FM Radio and of course Bluetooth. It does NOT connect to Wi-Fi or the Internet. You can use your Phone, Tablet, Laptop etc. to play Music from the Internet using Bluetooth. Mine has 2 Tweeters for the high end sounds, 2 Mid Range Speakers for the Mid Sounds and 1 Huge Woofer for the Low End Sounds. It comes with 2 Remote Controls. One for the Music player functions and one for the Lights (more on that later). The sound is incredible! It sounds just like the Jukes of the 50’s, 60’s era! It goes very loud! It has 100 Watts RMS. Most Speakers and equipment sold today use IPP to measure Wattage. So 100 Watts IPP is really only about 20 actual Watts. But this baby uses RMS to measure its wattage and that means it’s much much louder than regular Speakers are at 100 Watts. It goes so loud (if you turn it up that high) that it’ll blow you out of your socks! It has an EQ button on the Juke (and on the Remote) and it should be set to ROCK for the best sound (especially from the Woofer). The cheaper model of this unit has a Crystal Cartridge for the Record Player. Those are junk Carts. A Magnetic Cart like this model has, has much, much better sound quality when playing old Records. The Music Remote controls just about everything on the Juke without having to go over to it to hit any buttons on it, and yes, it can play the songs Randomly (aka Shuffle) so that you will NOT always hear the songs in the same order. On the Remote you can skip ahead or skip back through the songs. Set the EQ (Equalizer), Raise and lower the Volume and a bunch of other things. The Color Remote can do the following: Change the Jukebox Colors (that go around the edge of the Juke) to many different Solid Colors such as Red, Purple, Yellow, White, Blue, Green, etc. It can also be set to be Multicolored and move around the Juke to give it a really cool look! You can also vary the speed of the Colors dashing around it. You can do a lot of different Color patterns on it. The Color Remote has 24 buttons on it, so you can imagine all the Color Combos you can do on this thing! The Colors can work separately from the Music, meaning you can shut off the Juke and still have it lit up the way you want it or you can shut off the Color when playing the Music (who would do that). The Remotes use a single CR2025 or CR2032 battery that comes in the Remotes. NO stupid built-in battery that will go dead and then you can’t use the Remote anymore. Make sure you pull the clear plastic tab out of the back of the Remotes so that they will work (that connects the Battery to the Remotes). Now you are going to say Oh, no, more Remotes! No problem! There are two Magnetic Remote holders on the Juke to put the Remotes on when you aren’t using them so they won’t get lost. Each Remote is almost the size of a credit card and about 3 times as thick. I bought the one in Oak because the Wood finish looks like the old Jukes. Some of you younger people like Black and might want to get that instead. The Black one is actually the Oak one, but it is painted Black. I bought the one with the Stand. It serves two purposes. You put the Juke on the Stand which makes it higher and the Record Player is also then about your eye level (depending how tall you are). The other reason for getting it is it has 2 drawers on it. I have one drawer filled with 100 CDs that I made of my songs and the other drawer is filled with the other Remotes I have for all my other stuff that I have in the same room (I have the Juke in my living room) and I even put several USB drives with songs on them in there too! The cheaper model Juke has a couple of buttons on the back that you have to reach behind it and move them to do certain things, but with this model you don’t have to do that because those buttons are on the Remote. Well I hope I’ve included most of what this Juke can do. I probably missed a couple of things, but what the heck, no one is perfect. I hope this review answers a lot of your questions you might have of this Jukebox. Oh yeah, one more thing. It weighs approx. 100 pounds and comes double boxed. It has wheels on the bottom to roll it where you want it, but when you put it on the stand, then the wheels are no longer movable while it is on the stand. The outer Box also tells you which end to open it, and that’s so the wheels will be on the floor to push it where you want it. There are 4 holes on the stand where the wheels go into when you put it on the stand. Enjoy!

Somehow my first review wasn’t complete. So here I go again! First I second the first review of the Saturn V. I can’t think of anything they didn’t cover. I bought the Saturn V. I love it! I had a problem with the lights that I caused. I sent a message to them, not expecting a reply until the next day. He responded immediately, and in a simple text, he helped me correct what I had caused. After I checked the radio, CD player, and record player, I was ready to set the unit in the base. The Saturn V comes with wheels on it, but the base doesn’t. So I added casters I bought at a hardware store. Raised the jukebox a couple of inches. Now it is almost 64” tall. Took a few minutes to install them, and now I can easily move the juke box anywhere I want to. I still have to find a place in my home to display it and listen to my 50’s and 60’s rock and and roll. I have to find the perfect place for it since I want everyone to see the nostalgia and sounds of that era. Sound quality is excellent to me. Volume is great. I can hear it from anywhere in the house. A beautiful piece indeed, and worth every cent I paid for it. Excellent company to purchase from. They are quick to respond, kind and thoughtful. If you are pondering on if you should purchase one or not, don’t wait too long, or they may be sold out. You don’t want to miss this one.

Quality build, looks so retro, only thing is I didn’t realize it only plays small records and not regular size, but I love it!

We are unfortunately returning this item as it is defective. VERY disappointed in the lack of quality in the components and the cheap CD player, which will not work and keeps returning ERR on CDs it was initially able to play. The door won't open or close reliably, and then when you DO try to touch the panel to open the CD using the Open button, it is incredibly cheap... it feels like it would break if you touched it too hard. For the price of this order, I have to agree with several of the other reviews that it is an overpriced light show... which is the best part of the item. This was a birthday present for my husband, and we BOTH wanted so very badly to love this... but we cannot overlook the poor quality and defective component. The sound was decent, but the speakers struggle at anything over 65% volume. I was willing to overlook that as we didn't expect it be able to handle today's speak technology, but that's not the reason for the return. That said, we chose the Elvis edition over the other model because of the review that it was superior sound over the model that was half price, but seriously... for the amount of this machine, it should have been better. The controls are cheap plastic that feel like a child's toy that hasn't been broken (yet) and do not feel like they were manufactured to last if actually used... the streaming functionality worked great, and that's probably what a lot of people would use this for... but the whole point of WHY we chose this was to actually PLAY and USE the record player AND the CD player... and it won't work. I think we've had it 17 days and have played two CDs successfully... but now it just fails and I can't even get the Open button to respond 100% of the time... after several attempts to get it to respond (both manually and with the remote), it eventual opened to reveal perfect alignment of the CD, so it's not as if it was in their improperly... doesn't matter what CD is put in there, it just chokes. And I used to work for Circuit City back in the day so I DO know a thing or two about how to operate this technology... anyway, not looking forward to putting this back in it's original packaging that I THANKFULLY held onto this month just to make sure it operated properly... it's rather large so this will be quite the chore... have to take it to a UPS store... oh well. Back to square one.

I am really pleased with this jukebox I went for the one in oak... Sound is great and looks great. The customer service is excellent too as I asked few questions before hand because alot of money to spend but I'm overall happy.

Bien reçu dans les délais prescrits. Reçu en bonne état et très bien emballé (double cartonnage) bravo. La radio, la prise USB et le lecteur de carte fonctionne très bien de même que la connexion Bluetooth, pour le phono et le lecteur CD, je n'ai pas tester et ne crois pas non plus revenir vers cette ancienne technologie, mais plutôt fonctionner avec des fichiers Mp3 et Flac qu'il li très bien. Pour la qualité sonore, je vie une légère déception, je trouve que la "Bass" est trop sèche et ne voyage pas beaucoup, mais bon comme c'est pas non plus un système à 5,000.$, donc qualité/prix ça se défend assez bien, sans oublier le côté nostalgique qui cadre bien dans mon décor.

Nice unit. Really a big toy. Retro look adds to any decor. The 50’ look hides modern features such as USB and CD. Record player good quality. Not a pro. DJ unit but good value and good sound. I am satisfied as it is as I expected.

Finally thanks to this incredible company (Arkrocket) releasing these beauty’s in the UK, I can now live my childhood dream of rockin & rollin forever in 1950’s style! Originally I did think the price was a bit steep for a half sized jukebox but trust me when you see it in person glowing away and playing your favourite tunes, it’s well worth the price at any cost! Simple to use and a joy to behold, I can now relive the 1950’s in todays terrible modern world

Sounds bad. Will not retain radio station presets or clock after turning off. I recommend anything else
