What's great about it: none
What's not so great: Cheaply made, microphone too quiet
I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone!! This thing didn't last 8months before it self destructed. But in those 8months it was only used about 2-4hrs total! Only has a 90day manuf. warranty. If you want to blow a $100 buy some lottery tickets or spend it at the horse track, don't buy this thing. What a disappointment!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Dual Microphone capability
What's not so great: Cheap design
Since buying this Karaoke machine everything was fine, I was very pleased with the performance of the unit. The only thing that I came to find out, was that this model (iJ608B) is not compatabile with the newer ipod classics. Audio plays, but you can not get video signal to show on the monitor or tv.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: I-pod dock works, but only if you keep the volume at a low to medium level.
What's not so great: Cheap, CD player didn't work AT ALL, doesn't function well, small--the picture is a bit misleading.
I read the other reviews of this product before I purchased it, and thought it was just what I was looking for--fairly inexpensive, portable, with I-pod and DVD capabilities. That is NOT what I got. This machine is very, VERY cheaply made, even the buttons seemed loose. When I plugged it in, it emitted a very loud hum (one that almost drowned out the music!). This is such lightweight plastic that if you turn the volume above medium level, it tips over from the vibrations. And that's just with the Ipod, since the CD player didn't work at all. We tried regular CDs, karaoke CDs (CD + G) and DVDs, and all that happened was the disks spun loudly and the machine shook violently for approx. 5 minutes, then a "disk error" message came up on the screen. And we couldn't even try to see if the A/V hookups worked, since it wouldn't play any of the CDs... :Z This machine is NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY!! After returning this one, I bought a Singing Machine Model (iSM-370) for only $20 more and it is great. It has even more functions, is much more sturdily made, and actually works, which is a plus. Maybe small children can't tell how cheap the iLive model is, but adults should be able to find a better product for their money quite easily.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Feature Rich, Decent Sound Quality
What's not so great: Lightweight Plastic Controls / Knobs - NOT Wireles Mic
So far, the quality seems to be right around what I epxected for the price. My only real issue was that we bought this particular machine since it appeared to include a wireless mic -- and our last karaoke machine had a wired mic that caused pulling issues for our little children.
It is made out of very lightweight plastics, you can tell when you use the controls or load a CD. But it has been fun thus far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use! Variety of ways to use it!
What's not so great: No display for words so must have TV or monitor.
I bought this for my husband for Christmas this year. He was so surprised. We used it for the first time on New Year's Eve with our grown kids and little grandchildren. We had such a fun time bringing in the New Year singing along to the Billboard 4-CD-G pack my husband bought for the occasion.
The machine is easy to use with CDs and iPods, PLUS I can just play my iPod on it and use the speakers. The echo is cool and we made all kinds of silly sounds.
Our 5 year old grandaughter had so much fun, guess what she's getting for her birthday this month? :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Well worth it!!
What's not so great: None
I've tried 3 or 4 others. This one is the best in my opinion.
Sound quality, microphone and the ability to sing along w/the real artist & real music...just like singing in the car to the radio. I love it. Options are great but I like using w/my ipod and picking the songs I love to sing. Great Karaoke Machine!!
I would recommend this to a friend!
