3.0 out of 5 stars Not well made, December 31, 2005

By	Research Mom (Wayne, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Memorex Home Entertainment System with Video Camera, 5.5" Monitor and Cassette Recorder - MKS8580

This karaoke machine would be great with all of its features, except the mic did not work from the beginning and we had to take it back. A big disappointment for Christmas. My husband, who purchased it at Circuit City, said they told him it was the nicest karaoke machine they sold, but he recommended purchasing a 1-2 year warranty because a lot of customers complained about parts breaking... as we saw firsthand.

Otherwise, it has a great set of features - you can record on cassette, watch yourself on the camera, read lyrics from the screen, or sing a duet (only 1 mic included, but you can plug in another). You can also plug it in to a TV so that you either see yourself singing thru the camera OR watch the lyrics on the TV. It really would have been a great all-in-one machine...

It seems like to get a quality karaoke machine that doesn't break easily, you need to step up to the next price-point, at around $250-300+.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Player, January 14, 2004

This review is from: Memorex Home Entertainment System with Video Camera, 5.5" Monitor and Cassette Recorder - MKS8580

When the children saw the Karaoke machine for the first time they were thrilled. Working with so many children (in a child care center) the machine gets lots of use throughout the day, a real durable machine. Set up was easy, just plug-in and go. A great machine and loved by the children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good system; camera is nice feature, January 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Memorex Home Entertainment System with Video Camera, 5.5" Monitor and Cassette Recorder - MKS8580

This machine works as expected but the camera makes it better than other machines. My kids and their friends really enjoy seing themselves on screen. By the way for those with CD compartments which do not open: if the function switch on the front is set to 'Tape' or 'Aux' then the CD tray will not open. The function must be set to 'CDG', then the open/close button works.
