How reliable is it? and if I buy one how long will it last? If I pay $500 I would expect it to last.

I cannot speak for its reliability yet, I've only had the stereo a couple of months, but i will say that they blow me away. I agree that they should last for the price, but worth every penny so far!

I've had mine for quite awhile now and they still sound the same. Just don't have it about 15 when you start it or you might blow a speaker

I've had mine for 2 years and it seems to be going strong. The battery charge doesn't last a long time (about 15 min or so) but that has always been the case.

I bought one of these a few months back, just for an emergency battery TV. I doubt the warranty is no more than a year or so but the odds of it failing in that time are very low. The price is almost unbeatable............go for it ! Terry Smith / Nashville , Tennessee

Mine has lasted for about a year and a half now. It all depends on what your using it for and how many times.

I don't think its unreliable, this technology has been around for quit a while now...what that being said, you get what you paid for, so if your not looking to buy the latest and greatest, then the best picture/sound quality isn't of your concern. So for the price its a good buy.

I've had mine for almost 2 years and have not any problems. I paid 13 for mine so I was very sceptical. Love it!

I purchased it more than 8 months ago and is working pretty well. You can definitely purchase one.

I have had mine since September and its still works very well. For the price I love mine, however if you want something that is better quality you will have to pay more. But for the price this turntable is very good, and I am still happy that I purchased it.

That's a great price, even used. The one I purchased NEW failed in 10 months, but Belkin promised a free replacement as soon as they re-stock. It's a very good unit when it works! Can't help you re the cable question, it's a very common cable so it wouldn't set you back much even if you have to buy one. Try your local thrift shop, they always have a box of old cables cheap.

I bought one over a year ago and it's still working! The only set back is there is no customer service for questions. Only for new ones. But the product is self explanatory. I'd do it again. I'd rather have the money I saved in my pocket than elsewhere!

I had mine for a few months and it's fine..i can't see it wearing out that easily.

I have had mine for about 4 years with no problems. Every so often I will buy a new one just to be on the safe side.

Still didn't have to repair or replace parts so I don't know. Considering that I have been using mine since October 2013 with no problems, I think buying a new one if it breaks would not be such a big issue considering the price of $74,18. I think placing it properly and checking the batteries after a couple of months for corrosion will help it last.

Why? It's priced as a disposable radio. If you are wanting a quality device that will last you years and years maybe consider something else. This is a good intro radio until you decide this hobby is worth sinking some cash until.

To be honest, I have not found these to be particularly reliable, and am on my third one in a 2 year time period. If you decide to get another one, purchase a 3rd party warranty along with it. Also, make sure it is in sleep mode when you're not using it.

I have two of them that I bought over a year ago and they have worked flawlessly. My experience has been great. Hope you have better luck with your next one.
