We love this karaoke machine. It's a high quality guitar amp with a karaoke machine built into it.
The only problem, as per the negative comments posted here is that when you first set it up, it seems you can't set the microphone volume (the vocals) loud enough. The mic input volume control maxes out and it still isn't loud enough. If you crank up the volume using the the master volume control on the side, then the background music is too loud. This would be a fatal problem IF it there weren't a way to fix it.
They key to this problem is to understand that the background music is controlled separately by the REMOTE CONTROL. There is no hardware knob for that. You need to turn DOWN the volume of music playing off the CD by using the volume controls on the remote. This lowers the background sound relative to the other inputs, including the microphone input. Once the CD volume is lower, you won't have a problem getting everything balance the way you want it. But you have to know to use the remote control to adjust the CD output volume. Once you have everything balance the way you like, you only need to adjust the master volume on the side to get it loud our soft overall. No more twiddling of the levels.
Very happy with this purchase. Enjoy!

Initial opinion:
This is our first karaoke machine and we are very happy with it. Sounds like the other reviewer giving bad marks on the mic output might have a bad unit. We have ours turned up about half way and it's plenty loud. The unit I purchased and received from Electronica Direct was only $197, but it did not say in their description how many watts or what was included with the unit. The owner's manual shows 60 watts and I only received 1 microphone whereas the current description says its a 150W unit for $226. Every other website that had a description (e.g., acekareoke.com) advertised a 150W-unit with two microphones. So I was a little dissapointed, but the unit I received plays both the music and the mics very loud. We are looking forward to years of fun with this unit. I definitely recommend this unit.
Update 11-11-11.
I now use this machine only for voice. I have all my .cdg files on my laptop and output my laptop's audio to a Bose Sounddock II. I use Karafun software to launch the .cdg files. This setup is way way way better than playing the .cdg files on this karaoke machine, as you can open windows explorer (not internet explorer) and see ALL your .cdg files in one big window, not to mention the Bose audio quality over this karaoke machine. Scrolling thru a long list of .cdg files on this karaoke machine is quite annoying! The Karafun software is downloadable on the Internet.

I absolutely love this karaoke machine!!! I've owned two karaoke players prior to this one, but this is by far the best! It's like having the equipment of a professional DJ in this little portable machine. The speakers pump with amazing power. You can record yourself singing to background tracks. If you mix the mic level and music levels correctly, you'll sound like a professional! I did have a little trouble adjusting the mic to the music at first, then I realized that you needed the remote to adjust them to the proper levels. At the end of this item's listing, it explains exactly low to do this. ( it's not explained in the instructions manual) Follow the instructions and you'll be amazed by it's sound!
