Pros
The Singing MachinePortable CDG player Karaoke
machine has received good reviews scoring a 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon. Most of the purchases were made by
parents for their children, though several adults purchased this machine for family reunions and get togethers
with friends. There were many things that customers liked about this machine. The carrying case and sturdy
handle made the karaoke machine easy to carry from room to room and even to different locations. They liked the
fact that this machine operated on both AC and DC allowing them to take this machine where ever they
wanted.
Most customers also liked the fact that this machine would play different Karaoke CDs from different companies
giving them a wider choice in musical selections. They found that this machine is easy to set and up and use and
provided hours of fun for both kids and adults.
Cons
There were some negative reviews about this product the most serious of which was a problem with the cord being
loose and falling out. However, one reviewer pointed out that this may be due to the fact that the cord fits snug
into the back of the machine and users may not be pushing the cord in as far as it will go. The other major problem
seemed to be that some people felt the volume was too low to be heard clearly above background party
noise.
Conclusion
Overall the reviews on this karaoke machine were very
positive. While this machine does have some less than sturdy parts such as the door to the CD section, overall
it is well made and seems to hold up to almost constant use. It is light weight, easy to use and carry and most
people admit that this machine provides hours of fun for the entire family.
One should keep in mind that this is an inexpensive karaoke
machine and not one that is meant to be used for those large bar type karaoke nights where there are groups of
people who are noisy and loud. Most of the complaints about this machine seem to be from people who wanted top
of the line performance from a budget machine. If you are looking for a fairly well built portable and
inexpensive karaoke machine then the Singing Machine SML-383 Portable CDG player Karaoke
machine will probably meet and even exceed your expectations.
