Spectacular and worth the wait.

I ordered mine in November and received it April 1st. I was a bit nervous paying all that money up front and it taking so long but just know that it will take several months. Probably 6 months to receive it but when you do, it is so worth the wait. It is spectacular! I spoke with the owner via email multiple times, and he was polite and kind and assured me things were going well and as expected. I was a pain in the butt but I am telling you that you do not need to be like me. Trust the process and be patient. This is a big purchase and well worth the wait.

Rock-0la Stereo Rocks

Our new Rock-Ola stereo 45 jukebox arrived a few months ago and we are enjoying all the many 45 RPM records we have, While the unit has a great stereo solid state amp built in I liked that they give you plenty of options in the back of the unit as I like a broad wide stereo surround sound speaker system sound as many of our records are in stereo. We hooked up the unit to our stereo amp and many of these old 1958+ stereo 45 records give off a surround mix of sound not just right and left ch. We like the color lights that this unit gives off. Thanks again Rock-Ola for still making these units that play records.

I went thru a Dealer March 2023 and yes…

I went thru a Dealer March 2023 and yes it’s now over 2 years ago. I have lost interest in owning that jukebox now since I’m in my 70/‘s . I’m still waiting and yes they don’t return phone calls and I can’t believe that customer service is like this. The sad thing is my vision is going and the Digital Jukebox will most likely be useless for me. Thank You Rock Ola

Love Rock Ola in Torrance CA…

The people at Rock Ola in Torrance CA built us a digital bubbler full size jukebox. These people are a delight to work with. Especially Alexander. The jukebox is stunning, sounds heavenly, and is fun to operate with the touch screen. It was delivered on time even tho there was a little hickup along the way. It is a work of art. It got us dancing💃 🕺 again!!! Thank you!!!!

Outstanding performance of CEO of Rock-Ola Jukeboxes

I spoke with Alexander Walter-Smith the CEO of Rock- Ola Jukeboxes regarding information that I needed regarding a JukeBox that I purchased directly from Rock Ola 15 years ago and still performs as it was brand new. He solved my problem in a very professional and friendly manner. Alexander went above and beyond providing me with the information that I needed. Alexander has great customer service skills and produces a wonderful product. I highly recommend any Rock Ola Jukebox for their outstanding quality and reliability. If you want a Jukebox, buy it from ROCK-OLA!

The wait is worth it! But get ready to wait!

After a 16 month wait, my jukebox was finally delivered. It’s an absolutely beautiful machine. It sounds exactly how a jukebox should sound with a lot of power at the low frequency (play Partition by Beyoncé to demonstrate). Obviously, it can be turned up very loud, but it can also be enjoyed at low volume - that’s important too! Bluetooth is very convenient. Mark helped set everything up over FaceTime which is huge.

I would recommend Rock Ola if you want a new jukebox. But be prepared to wait, and make lots of phone calls asking for updates! Don’t be discouraged if they don’t pick up their phones all the time, they are a small team with a tremendous talent but a huge workload.

Harley Davidson CD bubbler Juke box

We received our HD CD bubbler juke box, approx. 6 weeks ago from Rock-Ola. The quality and sound are exceptional, and it truly is a piece of artwork. There were some delivery timeline issues, but this was resolved once Ollie got involved. Setup instructions were easy to follow, and we quickly had CDs loaded and Bluetooth connections made with our mobile devices. The result is we are extremely happy and looking forward to many hours of fun listening to our favorite music and watching the mechanics and lighting effect of this Beautiful nostalgic juke box.

Thank you for your kind words Mrs Wright and we appreciate the review. We have had some challenges catching up with manufacturing and are pleased that we finally shipped your Jukebox. We are a small team and every box is handmade to order, in our factory in California, I will pass on your comments to the guys on the line. Thank you for your business!

Rockola and Alexander the CEO made good

We purchased an $8000 jukebox in 2020 and unfortunately it never worked right from day one. Although we had difficulties with this machine for four years, I have to commend Alex for making good on his promise to deliver.
What CEO calls you personally and follows through with his technicians to ensure the computer was installed properly? (Thank you, Jonathan). The computer was completely overhauled, shipped to our home and followed up with a phone call to assist in the installation. It’s working great now and we are so thrilled to have quality music again. They even installed 700 CDs until we could get our own music reinstalled. I highly recommend Rockola as it is definitely a quality company that stands by its product and guarantees customer satisfaction.

Cheers, Bill Kerr and Susan DeHart

Hi Bill and Susan,
I am sorry to read of your experience and of course, you know I will put this right. I recall you had problems 4 years ago which I was involved in resolving. I will be calling you tomorrow to sort this out just as I did last time. I was very grateful for your order and I stand behind all of the Jukeboxes that have been sold under my ownership. I look forward to speaking to you again and getting some music back in the house.

I had recently purchased a used. rakola digital c8 machine. Unit came with no instruction manual. Try to find information locally and online. After 3.
Weeks with noi results. I finally called rakola rakola. Alexander answered the phone who was driving home and on the freeway. I.
Am 86 years old and I think Alexander realized my frustration. He asked me to hold and to my surprise. He pulled off the freeway and began answering my questions. He solved most of my problems. Right, then in there and said he would call tomor no. The following day he emailed me. The instruction manuals and answered the rest of my questions. If this is the service I can expect from rokola. You have a member for life. Thank you so much. Alexander gets 5 stars from me. Sincerely Ronald Salvaggio PS i am not his father or a relative.

A truly beautiful well-made machine.

A truly beautiful well-made machine.
Like some others that have bought recently, I had a few issues at first with slow production, but once Alexander, the owner got involved, everything was extremely well handled. I've spent some time on the phone with Alexander, as we are both business men. I understand what he has gone through, after buying the company, to get everything running up to his standards. I think he has a good hand on it at this time and everything should be handled much better from here on out.
That being said, I still don't regret buying this jukebox over the other brand new Jukebox that was available. I had debated on buying a refurbished used one, but did not want to have to deal with ongoing repairs to keep it running.
As I stated they make an extremely beautiful machine, I think it is well designed and put together. I don't regret for a minute, having to wait a little longer than I wanted, to receive the machine. The wait was worth it, to get the quality of machine that I desired. If I were in the market for another jukebox, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to purchase from Rock-Ola again.

Thank you guys for making the best jukebox ever. I had to wait a while but I guess these machines take a while to make. It's been fun getting to know you all and I thought the factory was awesome. I have been playing it ever since you delivered it last week; amazing sound and it’s beautifully made. I am proud to buy American- Thank you Mr Walder-Smith.

rock-ola rip off

Placed an order in Feb. 2024. It is now Oct. 2024. No Jukebox. I have tried everything. I just want my money back. It was a lot. Now I read that others are having the same thing happen. Stringing people along after taking their money, and leaving them with nothing. It can not possibly take that long to rebuild a jukebox. I have contacted the BBB and Attorney General. DO NOT BUY from these guys. It's a sham. An expensive one. E-mail replys promise to send pictures of progress and nothing. I don't know what else to do.... except warn others.

Hi Lori,
I am sorry to read your review however can assure you that your restoration is progressing, it will be shipping out in November. I cannot offer you a refund as we have restored this Jukebox, made in 1957 to order. I will ensure you have pictures on your email to show you where we are with it, I have already sent you some in the past so you do know it is in progress. I will share this with the BBB and Attorney General if they contact us as well.
Restorations do take a long time and it will be absolutely grade A1 when we ship it out to you. I understand your frustration with the lead time but your comments above are not true.
I will follow up with a telephone call to you as well.

Buyer beware

Buyer beware. Because Rockola is one of very few Jukebox companies out there, they feel they can pay very little attention to their customers and get away with it. In fact, their customer service is among the worst I’ve ever experienced. Bought a CD bubbler and needed tech support to resolve a problem. One has to pay a fee to get someone on the phone to help! Seriously a disgraceful company. You’re better off buying an older refurbished unit manufactured by a real company. Also, the sound quality of my jukebox is awful. Imagine a music playing device with second rate speakers. Ludicrous.

Hi Brian,

Thank you for your review and I am sorry to read of your experience. I am very customer focused and so is my team so would sincerely like to sort this problem out for you. Our Jukeboxes have first-class sound quality so there must be a component failure. All of our Jukeboxes are covered with a 1-year parts warranty so can conclude that your Jukebox must be an older model if you have been quoted a fee, however I am happy to waive this if it was purchased over the last 5 years and get you up and running with good quality sound, free of charge.
I will look back through the sales records and try and find you as all I have to go on is your first name, from this review. Please call me at Rock-Ola if you get the chance.

Jukebox is AMAZING

Our jukebox arrived last Friday and is amazing. It is everything we hoped it would be. The delivery by Jesus as well as the set up and explanation was a great experience. As noted in many other reviews working with Rock-Ola through delays in the custom building process was trying but they are working on it and doing better. Based on the quality of the machine I would highly recommend a Rock-Ola jukebox. We had a party Saturfday night and everyone loved plugging coins and picking music.

Ross,

Thank you for your review and we really appreciate your business. We are trying to do more installations directly from the factory to improve on our white glove delivery service. Lake Almanor was quite a drive from Torrance, but from your very generous review, it seems it was worth it! It was such a nice surprise for your wife and you put so much effort into sourcing the music she likes. We were really pleased to supply you with hand-typed title strips to match your record selections. It all came together so well.
Appreciate the review, please come and see us for a factory tour when you are next down near LA.

Following a period of less than…

Following a period of less than satisfactory communication and a visit to the Rock-Ola factory, I am pleased to state that I am completely satisfied with my jukebox and the quality service I received with the delivery and professional set-up service I received. I have had several fruitful conversations with the company owner/president of Rock-Ola whom I sincerely applaud for retaining more customer service personnel and overseeing quality control.

Hi Darrly,

Thank you for your kind review and order. It was great to come out to your home in Nevada and set up the Jukebox. Our technician reported that all went well and so pleased that you were happy with his service.
It would be great to see you again if you are over near LA, I would be happy to give you a factory tour and you can meet the guys and girls who made your Jukebox.
I appreciate the business, thank you.

So far nothing

So far nothing, I waited for that phone call and eventually several days late it came, basically telling me how great they were and how they are getting better etc. Then came the pitch, "if we build the thing will you still buy it" etc. I told him I was not going to send them my money again, if they build it and they ship it I will pay COD, so far nothing. Unbelievable.

Alexander, Cheron and the entire team at Rock-Ola are top notch. I had a great customer service experience and absolutely love my jukebox. The craftsmanship is second to none. If you are looking for a HIGH quality jukebox and fantastic customer service Rock-Ola is the company. Could not be more satisfied.
