Our best advice for checking out the quality is reading reviews, but also use some of these to help you get an idea of the quality:

Price analysis
AUDIO TECHNICA AT-LP3 Belt Drive Turntable scores 8.5/10 for price in our review.
Price is normally the most important factor when considering a purchase. Especially when you’re shopping online, it’s really easy for us to shop around now so we can easily compare prices of the same product against many retailers with just a few clicks. In fact here at Review Pros we do that leg work for you, by comparing many different retailers to find you the best price. But price is also a big factor for which product we choose too, not just which retailer.
To give an example, the most expensive product that we found in the Turntables category was £599.00, whilst the cheapest we found was £15.99 so there’s a significant variance in the prices that different products are available for. For this reason we always recommend that you set yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a product. It’s easy to get carried away and buying a much more expensive product than you really need, but setting a budget will help to avoid this.
