ZURU Really Works! Mini Record Player vs Zuru Mini Brands Really Works Vinyl Player

These are the same ZURU Mini Brands Really Works Series 1 player: a working miniature turntable, the exclusive pink "APT." vinyl by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars, and a display stand. Buy either one; pick whichever listing is in stock. Owners rate it 4.6 out of 5 across 259 ratings, and the common praise is that it really spins and plays. The common complaint is that it is a small, light collectible, not a real audio device, and extra vinyls are sold separately as capsules.

  • Choose the ZURU Really Works! Vinyl Series 1 playset if you want the core starter set with the player, the "APT." vinyl and the Now Playing stand in one box.
  • Choose the ZURU Mini Brands Really Works Vinyl Player if you are buying for a ROSÉ and Bruno Mars fan and want the same working player and exclusive track.

Prices

  • ZURU Really Works! Mini Record Player: $16.99 at Amazon (last seen Nov 13)

What reviewers say

Zuru Mini Brands Really Works Vinyl Player

  • 4.6 / 5259 ratings

Rated 4.6 out of 5 across 259 ratings, buyers mostly enjoy the novelty of a mini player that really plays a licensed song. Complaints center on the small sound and the need to buy more capsules for variety.

What people mention
  • SoundMixedBuyers say it plays music but the tiny speaker keeps volume and quality modest.
  • Licensed trackPraisedFans like having a real ROSÉ and Bruno Mars song on a mini vinyl.
  • CollectibilityPraisedOwners treat it as a display collectible and like the Series 1 branding.
  • Record varietyCriticisedReviewers note extra capsules are needed to add more songs.

Questions and answers

Are these two the same product?
Yes. Both are the ZURU Mini Brands Really Works Vinyl Series 1 player with the exclusive "APT." vinyl and a display stand. The boxes and listings differ; the toy does not.
Does it really play music?
Yes. The turntable spins the palm-sized records and plays the track through a small built-in speaker. Sound is tiny and thin, as you would expect from a miniature.
Which is better for a young child?
The ZURU Really Works! playset states an age of 3 and up, so it is the clearer pick for a young child. Treat the player and records as small collectibles and keep them away from children who still mouth toys.
Do I need to buy extra records?
Only if you want more music. Each set includes one vinyl, the "APT." track. More songs come in Really Works Vinyl Capsules, sold separately, with artists like Katy Perry, Kendrick Lamar and Chappell Roan.
Is one worth stepping up to?
There is nothing to step up to between these two; they are the same set. Step up only if you want more vinyls, which means buying capsules.
How does it hold up over time?
Owners rate it well, but it is a plastic collectible with a tiny motor and speaker. It holds up for display and light play; it is not built for heavy daily use.
