Summary: 10 year old daughter loves it...
Comment: I bought this machine for my daughter's birthday and we have had a blast so far. She has both High School Musical cd's and a pop music cd and is in her room every evening belting it out. My 6 year old son loves it as well.

Summary: Karaoke
Comment: This is a real cool Karaoke machine. I bought this machine for my daughter and I sing more on it than my daughter does, because she never gets a chance to play with it. It is a very durable machine.

Summary: Don't buy this...
Comment: ... if you want quiet time in your home again... hehheh..

Actually, I bought this for my 10 year old daughter whom loves to sing. It actually isn't too bad of a unit for the money. It's easy to use, and my daughter loves it, and is having a blast with it.

My observations: The unit itself doesn't seem too bad for quality, but the mike leaves much to be desired. Fortunatly, it has an industry standard jack so you can buy a better one later to use if you like. The monitor, like I read in another review is not the best. It seems kinda washed out, but it is only a 5 inch, and black and white. I also bought my daughter a CD+G that has duets on it, with color coded lyrics for both vocals, and with the small b&w screen, very confusing, and difficult. But, this unit can be connected easily to a larger TV with audio and video outs, and have the color, easier to read display, not to mention connecting to a sterio head for awesome sound. The small built in monitor can be used in a pinch for "Remote" and portable uses. I also noticed the volume sometimes changes for no reason. Not "too" noticeable though.

Overall, not disabpointed, and no regrets buying it. It has some weaknesses, but then again, it isn't a multi hundred $$ unit, it is less than $100, and a great starter set for kids that love to do this sort of thing. I hope I can get away with some quiet time every now and then when the new wears off..

Summary: Works well, good system for kids
Comment: This is the first karaoke machine we've had, and it's for our son. So we haven't been too picky about it and I don't know if there are better quality ones out there.

We haven't had any problem with the screen on the unit. But our son likes using the TV, since the lyrics are easier to read there. Sound output from the TV and from the unit seems good. There are separate controls for the CD volume and for the microphone volume, so you can adjust one or both if, for example, you voice isn't loud enough.

The echo feature has been particularly fun for our 6-year-old, even without music. He and other kids have enjoyed making all sorts of sound effects with the echo feature turned on (laughing, scary voices, other sounds that 6-year-old boys find fascinating...).

The Sampler music that came with the unit is okay. It's all public domain music, so some of the lyrics have been changed. Some songs are kinda cheesy. But there are two versions of each song, which is nice. One with singing, one without.
