I bought this for my daughters for Xmas because they love to sing and dance in front of a mirror; and this is one of the few karaoke machines with a video camera. It also supposedly has more wattage than some of the others. THANK GOD I tried it before Xmas after my daughters were in bed. What a dissapointment. The camera/video is unrecognizable -- fuzzy, dark and you can barely tell what you are looking at. Also you can BARELY hear anything through the microphone. Basically this is a not so cheap, poor quality CD player. I am returning it ASAP.

I bought this for my husband and 7 year old son for Christmas. After I had placed the order I read a very poor rating for this product. I was scared after that but luckily the Karaoke worked like a dream. We all had hours of fun on Christmas and everyday after without any problems at all. The quality of sound took abit of adjusting but once set it worked like a charm. The video camera worked well too. Kids and adults love watching themselves sing. I highly recommend this machine as a gift for either an adult or child. They should include earphones for thoughs of us that can't carry a tune though. (hee hee) Happy Singing.

Within minutes of taking out of the box we were singing and laughing! The other reviews lead me to believe that they don't know how to hook it up. It is awesome, you can see the video playing on TV. The graphics on the 5" screen are great for singing along.

For $30 shipped, this is the steal of the year!

This was fun from the moment we took it out of the box. My kids played with it for several hours straight. They love to look at themself and even though the picture is black and white and a bit fuzzy, they had so much fun. I love having two microphones so they can both sing and play together. And my son, who struggles in school with reading, is practicing reading skills while he sings, and he doesn't even realize it, but I have seen his reading speed improve dramatically.

I wish Santa had checked this before giving it to my daughter Christmas morning. The camera didn't work at all and there were no words ont the monitor. Eventually a few fussy words appeared on part of the screen. Fortunately I purchased the Buyer Protection Plan. The plan works great (so far) but I will still be out the cost of the plan (<$10.00) and alot of aggravation. My neighbor got a different machine and the stop button didn't work. Maybe the companies that make these machines have a high % of product defectiveness??? I got a different model (the orriginal has been discontinued) and it works fine, better if hooked up to a stero and TV. This one doesn't have a camera. I bought the buyer protection plan again - it's cheep and worth it since the warrenty is so short.

Less than 3 hours out of the box, it went from working beautifully to having a broken monitor (it went totally dead). Not sure what happened. The product was great fun while it lasted (2 hours), and even after (we just hooked it up so that the words showed on the TV). I will be returning it, but I am undecided if I want to exchange it for the same one, probably not.

AFTER WE GOT IT ALL SET UP WE REALIZED ONE OF THE TWO MICROPHONES DID NOT WORK. SO AFTER USING THE OTHER MICROPHONE FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES IT ALSO STOPPED WORKING. THIS WAS A GIFT THAT WAS VERY WANTED. WE ARE SO SAD THAT WE NOW HAVE TO RETURN IT. WHAT A LET DOWN. MY DAUGHTER IS VERY DISAPOINTED. ALSO THE PICTURE IS REALLY NOT THAT GREAT. ITS VERY LIGHT AND CLOUDY LOOKING. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. FOR THAT PRICE WE EXPECTED BETTER QUALITY.

My daughter received this for Christmas. The mike isn't very good, but she didn't seem to mind. The camera worked for three days, then inexplicably stopped and we had to return it. I'll replace it with a different brand.

This machine was given to my daughter on Christmas morning. IT WAS BROKEN STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. The CD drive would not even open to allow you to put the CD in to play. The store that I purchased it from was out of stock and would not be receiving anymore, so I called Craig Electronics (the manufacturer). I was told by the telephone representative as well as a supervisor that I would have to pay $15.00 to cover shipping and handling to send their broken machine back to them in order to get another one. Evidently Craig Electronics does not completely stand behind this product, since they want the customer to pay to send their broken machine back to them. Unfortunately, due to this extremely negative experience I will be returning it to the store and WILL NOT be purchasing another Craig Electronics product.

My in-laws purchased this machine for my daughter last Christmas. I read the directions, plugged it into an outlet, then went back to the owner's manual to continue reading. Within twenty seconds I smelled something awful, looked up, and saw SMOKE billowing out of the top of the machine! I could not believe my eyes--I have never had any electronics product do this before in my life. I immediately unplugged it and dashed it outside in case it caught on fire. What a total piece of JUNK! The unit was powered OFF, not even turned on for the first time! I am giving it one star because I cannot give it 0 or negative stars. This will be my last experience with any smoking Craig product!!
