What is the quality and performance level of Fluance turntables??

Turntables are available from under $100 to well over $50,000. In general, you get what you pay for. In the budget range Rega is well respected.

As mentioned, you get what you pay for.

Other than novelty, sub $1000 entry tables are a waste of money, IMO. I’d up my digital setup before playing with a turntable.

Call the company, and get a new motor

@sunnyjim , in answer to your question, so far I've found the Fluance RT85 table to be of good quality and it performs very well. I mean over 1,000  5-star Amazon ratings must mean something. That said, don't let yourself be deterred by the low price. 

Also, not that specs tell the whole story, but I compared things like wow & flutter and SNR numbers to other more well known and accepted TT brands - like ProJect and Rega. The RT85's acrylic platter is standard versus an upgrade for Pro-Ject. FWIW I had a Pro-Ject in for a trial, and sent it back.

If you look at the basic features and build quality it is a good base to build from. I immediately replaced the Ortofon 2m Blue with an Audio-Technica VM750SH and this thing sounds excellent! Could stand to be a tad warmer, so I've been considering a Nagaoka 200. But overall, I'm pretty happy with it.

I've had it about a year, and can't speak to how it'll stand up over time ... since I generally only listen to vinyl on Sundays. But so far, so good. Hope this helps.

Happy Listening! 

Here ya go!!
