Today’s best turntable Black Friday deals
A great turntable for beginners: easy to use, has Bluetooth connectivity, and won’t damage your vinyl despite being cheap. We gave it four stars in our review, and we rate it as the best option at this price. You can get it on its own, or you can get a bundle that includes the turntable and a pair of wired speakers for £189 (was £249) here.View Deal
This was only recently released, and already has a nice discount! We haven’t reviewed it, so I can’t vouch for it, but House of Marley is generally reliable – and if you want to save space with built-in speakers instead of separates, it could be perfect.View Deal
This is another turntable we haven’t tested, but Denon’s reputation precedes it. If you want a small turntable with lovely chunky buttons and a classic look, this is an excellent price. And it’s automatic, so again is ideal for beginners – just push a button and it’ll move the arm and start playing. There’s no Bluetooth here, though.View Deal
In our full House of Marley Revolution review, we said that it’s “one of the best-value turntables we’ve tested”, so getting an extra 33% discount just compounds that.
We liked the ease of use and the convincing analogue sound quality. It’s not fully automatic, but it does help you out – “Lift the tonearm over a record and the platter will start spinning automatically. Lower it and you’ll be rewarded with audio that’s surprisingly rich for a budget deck,” we said in the review. It’s nice that it’s not just a button to start playing – you have to take part in the ritual.
We said that it’s “the definition of a plug-and-play turntable” – and Bluetooth was seamless to use as well, so it’s easy to connect to headphones or a Bluetooth speaker if you don’t use House of Marley’s own from its bundle.
We also said that it doesn’t feel cheap – and House of Marley uses materials from sustainable sources, which we’re always happy to see. All of this combines to mean we include it in our list of the best turntables of all kinds, as the top option for a really cheap beginner-friendly deck, so we’re heartily recommending it for this price if you’re looking to buy in this budget range!
