Didn’t even realize it doesn’t take cdg’s. It encourages you to pay ridiculous prices for their online karaoke songs. I just use YouTube. It likes to cut out. I would not suggest purchase of this. It’s a pain in the behind not only for my kids but for me when it won’t connect to the iPad via aux. it just makes a clicking noise like it wants to connect but won’t.

Dancing Machine

Excellent party machine. I purchased this compact karaoke machine for a fun evening of singing and dancing. It has all the bells and whistles. Yes, I would recommend to others to purchase.

Get what you pay for, no screen or songs included.

This little machine works nicely. Naive me thought the screen came with it (as pictured on ads, and above), but you provide your own tablet. Then you need to use an app (preferably theirs at $130 pa) to get the songs. If you don't subscribe you only get 30sec trials. We tried to subscribe but process was clunky and didn't work. Was fun up until that point.

It is at least a shame.

The box was already opened, ripped off, and there was tape on it. Also, the microphone is missing and there was a instruction manual from another product included a piece. It is really frustrating and disrespectful. i bought it as birthday gift for a friend. I am so upset with that shame situation.

Listen to the negative reviews

Overall poor experience. It's fun to use while it works but dont expect it to last more than a few months if that. I've purchashed 2 of these already.The first ones light feature started to glitch after a few months (about 4-5m) passed by with occasional use. I could never get it to turn off completely as the light feature would continuously flicker even when shut off. Obviously that drained the battery since it could never fully turn off, so now that takes out the portability feature as well. I couldnt get it to ever fully charge because the light feature was always on. It got to the point where I could only use it if it was plugged in it at all times.I really liked it when it worked and thought maybe I just had bad luck with the first one so I got a second one. ... MoreOverall poor experience.

The second one was even worse. I was able to use it 3 times before it no longer held a charge. It cant be a coincidence. Theres definitely some quality control issues. I cannot recommed purchasing this machine. Look elsewhere or you'll end up with a dead karaoke machine in the corner of your closet like me

Missing parts

It sounded good and worked well, but it seemed to have already been opened and used. There were markings on it and it was dusty. It was also missing the cord to plug it in. I liked the product itself and will be trying to exchange it, but because it seems used and missing things I have to give it a low rating

Pleasantly Surprised

I bought this for my 10 year old wasnt really expecting much. HOLY COW the sound on this thing is intense, I was blown away. Im not going to say its the absolute best speaker out there but for what it is it is pretty darn amazing. I used it for my New Years party and it the sound filled my whole apartment. And you can charge it and move it around. 5 stars across the board.

Too many flaws to be useful

This is the worst designed piece of sound equipment I've ever encountered. Right on the box it says you can use this as a PA system, which you can, but only if you aren't planning to leave the machine on for more than 20 minutes. The unit "features" two mic jacks (which are controlled with a single volume knob, so you'd better sing/speak at the same volume), a line-in 1/8" jack, and Bluetooth connectivity. However, if there's no music playing through the Bluetooth or line-in, the machine turns off after 20 minutes as a "power saving feature." If you're just using the mic jacks (which you probably are if you're using the machine as a PA or running sound off a mixer) it won't recognize there's still audio running through the system and it will turn off. There's no ... MoreThis is the worst designed piece of sound equipment I've ever encountered.

There's no turning it on before a party and going to check on the coffee pot either, because once the power is on the timer for it turning off starts. In addition, unless you're connected to Bluetooth or switch the mode to Aux (line-in), the power button flashes constantly. It also doesn't remember what light setup mode you left it on if it powers off or if you turn it off manually (it starts with the disco ball and speakers flashing at the fastest setting, but both can be adjusted or turned off individually). Honestly, the best part about this machine is it seems relatively rugged, and comes with wheels and a handle, but because the thing is so light, there's really no reason for them. I hope the people from Singing Machine see this review, because this could have been an impressive machine with minor changes to the design, but there are just too many flaws to actually use it unless you want to constantly be messing with it instead of enjoying your event.

Turns off every 20 minutes

I bought this because it was small and in wheels. At first it didn't disappoint. Then I really used it and noticed that it turns off every 20 minutes. I plugged it in straight to the wall and it still shuts off every 20 minutes. The speaker itself isn't that loud. But good enough for what I needed it for. The microphone is good.

two units... two different problems...

Two units did not work correctly... I ordered this during Black Friday sales. we opened it up at Christmas and it would not charge. Walmart quickly sent us a new one however the second unit would charge but there seems to be something wrong with the speaker or the volume control would not work properly. unfortunately I'll have to let go of the deal that I got during Black Friday and look at other brands and models to find something better.
