I'd first consider how you're going to set it up. A turntable needs to
be level and on a solid platform, and it takes up 2 or 3 square feet of
table space. Do you have that much space within a USB cable reach of
where your computer is?
The setup shown on the web page, a short cable between the turntable
and a laptop computer, will take up about half your dining room table.
If you have a substantial record collection and you intend to transfer
all your records to digital format, remember that this is a real time
process, and you might have that setup taking up table space for two or
three years.
It looks and is priced like a cheap turntable, so it probably is. If
you have the space and just want the functionality. it's probably OK.
If you want to get the best fidelity off your records, that isn't going
to do the job.
