Does it need a receiver or preamp?

No. The built-in phono preamp can be switched on to connect to powered speakers or a line input, or off to use a stereo's phono stage.

Can I upgrade the stylus?

Yes. The AT-VM95C cartridge accepts replacement and upgrade styli from Audio-Technica's VM95 line.

Is it fully automatic?

Yes. The tonearm starts and returns automatically, so you don't have to cue it by hand.

Does it have a USB output?

No. It offers Bluetooth and analog outputs only, so digitizing records requires a separate audio interface.

What reviewers say

Owners treat it as a strong first turntable: easy to set up, automatic operation takes the fuss out of playing records, and Bluetooth works reliably with speakers and headphones. The AT-VM95C cartridge draws praise for sound quality at this level, though some note the conical stylus and belt drive limit how far it can go.

What people mention

SetupPraisedOwners say it is quick to assemble and play out of the box, even for people new to vinyl.
Automatic operationPraisedThe automatic tonearm is called convenient and gentle on records compared with manual cueing.
Sound qualityPraisedThe AT-VM95C cartridge is said to deliver warm, clear sound that beats typical beginner cartridges.
BluetoothMixedPairing is reported as reliable, but some say wireless playback loses detail against a wired hookup.
StylusMixedThe replaceable stylus is welcomed, while the conical tip is seen as the weak link for critical listening.
BuildCriticisedSome owners find the plinth and belt-drive assembly lighter and less solid than they expected.

About the Audio-Technica Fully Automatic Wireless Belt-Drive Turntable AT-LP70XBT

The AT-LP70XBT is a fully automatic, belt-drive turntable with built-in Bluetooth. It plays 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records. It can send audio wirelessly to Bluetooth speakers, headphones and other devices, including those that support the Qualcomm aptX Adaptive codec.

It also has a built-in switchable phono/line preamp. With the included dual RCA cable, it connects to a home stereo, powered speakers or another component, with or without a phono input.

It has a fixed-body AT-VM95C Dual Moving Magnet cartridge with a 0.6 mil conical stylus, mounted on a J-shaped tonearm designed to minimize tracking errors. The stylus can be replaced with any stylus from the VM95 Series, including elliptical, micro linear and Shibata types. A tonearm lock reduces the risk of stylus damage.
