Yeah because many do, that's why my warning. Have a look, this short video explains it pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXV8tXrPOR4
You can still get smaller players for cheap that are not those suitcase players. AT-LP60 for example, even if I would say those aren't good either but at least they won't shred the records.
It seems decent but I don't like that wobbly records dont have any stabilisation there, it's small at least. Techmoan actually reviewed this one he liked it.
