We got this for my daughter for christmas. Actually we got her the STVG-700 which broke 10 minutes after we got it. Singing Machine replaced the broken one with an STVG-718. I give them high ratings for very quick and friendly customer service. Now that we have the replacement, we love this machine. What a blast! Nobody can resist singing along. We end up giggling and laughing - It's addictive. The picture quality is ok, I wish it were in color though. When you hook it up to a color TV it's much nicer. The picture quality from the camera is low, but my daughter LOVES seeing herself as she's singing. A cool thing to do is to hook the camera output up to the VCR and record herself singing. LOTS OF FUN.

Got this for my 7 yrold.........she loves it. Actually way too much for her aqqt this age, but she will grow into it in time. Only drawback to these is there just aint many CD's with appropiate music for kids her age. But who cares as long as she enjoys using it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall it works well, but it will initially struggle with playing cds, December 1, 2007

Overall I am happy with this karaoke machine. My only complaint is that the machine often takes a while to play a cd properly which i find very frustrating. When I initially put a cd in the machine and play a track, it will often give me a message that indicates that it cannot play any songs on the cd. After stoping the player and playing it again a couple times, it will eventually play the songs on the cd without any problems. So the karaoke machine does get the job done, however, the initial waiting period for listening to play a song is annoying to say the least. I have not yet tried to play the Karaoke type CDs yet, so I can not speak to the effectiveness that this machine has playing this audio format.
