What's great about it: Size, looks, sound, cost, features, 2 headphone jacks, even a separate sustain pedal
What's not so great: Nothing
From a guy who has owned 2 grand pianos and a console...I am very pleased with this piano. It even compares favorably with a $1600 Yamaha digital piano I bought 15 years ago. With inflation, that piano would now be $2500. I bought this one for $550 on a whim...and I regard that as a complete STEAL! I have not even assembled the stand. I just have it on my coffee table. I"m glad that it also came with a separate sustain pedal. It only weighs 20 pounds (or so) and that's far easier to move around than a "real" piano. The sound is excellent with headphones and no "boing-boing" on the lower keys like on my old Yamaha digital piano. The keys feel great, too! I have to admit that I'm very impressed with the size, quality and cost! I've only owned it a week, so long term durability is still unforeseen...but I'm pretty delicate with my toys.

What's great about it: Construction quality, 88 action keys like a real piano, pedals that work, and price
What's not so great: Sometimes distorted sound, but you can deal with it
Got this a month ago. The set up was a bit harrowing, and some initial steps were tricky, but not impossible or overly complex. Definitely easier with two people. Definitely easier than Ikea.
Overall construction is actually surprisingly good. The piano is a bit on the light side, but it can take a beating (I get a little dramatic with the Beethoven sometimes). The sound is pretty good for the most part. There is an electronic distortion that you hear when you pedal notes that you hit hard, but it's not a show stopper.
Very good practice piano, as other reviewers have mentioned, and 88 keys, sturdy, <$600, you can't beat the value. Great for beginners and intermediate players; probably great for advanced too, but I'm not there yet :-)

What's great about it: Great package for the price
The product is great, my family loves it! The only issues we had were at the store level, it took 3 visits and multiple phone calls to get the order correct. Product gets 5 out of 5, Bestbuy gets a 2 out of 5... I gave them 2 stars for working diligently to correct their error. I hope this was an isolated incident.

What's great about it: Sound
What's not so great: heavy
I was very cautious of purchasing a keyboard without hearing the sound first. I ended up buying this keyboard and had resigned myself to playing a keyboard that sounded very 90's and synthesized. I am still impressed with the sound quality of this keyboard! I also enjoy recording my music and downloading it onto the computer. The piano also came with a classical music book. Each song is already downloaded into the piano and you can play along with it. You can slow the tempo and also chose which "hand" the keyboard plays. It is heavy and hard to transport but I do not move mine around. This is a great buy!

I got this piano as an upgrade from a 61 key keyboard. I tried out many keyboards and (especially for the price) was between the Yamaha P95B and this Casio PX-130. These two were about the same and my untrained ears could not pick out a huge difference in sound. Ultimately I picked the casio for the increase in user memory, the base/pedals that it came with, and the USB-in for MIDI.
I have been very happy with this purchase. My mother-in-law, who teaches piano, was also pleasantly surprised at its touch and sound. The major oddity that I have found is that, if the sound is turned down lower, the keys make a lot of thumping noise. This disappears when the volume is at a more "standard" playing level. Basically you hear the key striking that physically occurs but you normally don't hear in an acoustic since you can't adjust the volume.
I like that it doesn't have many 'voices' or other toys. I just wanted a piano and that's what I got :)

I really like this electric piano. First, it sounds great and the keys feel just like the keys of a real piano - and therefore its much more enjoyable for our kids to practice on than the cheaper keyboard they've been using for about a year. Secondly, this was a great buy for us because we didn't have a good spot in our home for a full upright piano and the portability of this one allowed me to put it in my son's room on the second floor of our home, where we had been keeping the old keyboard they were using. This was just what we needed. I just wish it had been priced slightly lower, maybe $400 to $450 instead of $550. But overall this fit our needs perfectly.

What's great about it: small size, but full weighted keyboard
This keyboard is the next best thing to a regular piano. I live in a small apartment and love that it is so narrow and doesn't take up much space. It is also great that I can adjust the volume. The other added features just make it even better.

What's great about it: Great price, sound quality, feels like a real piano, not bulky
What's not so great: Heavy, need two people to put together stand
This digital piano feels and sounds so much like a real piano that people will not know any different if they were not watching you play. I love the stand with the pedals and how you can plug headphones as to not disturb anyone. It also has a nice look that can compliment any decor. And you can't beat the 0% financing with the Best Buy credit card! Great buy for beginner or advance players alike.

What's great about it: Super beginners piano
What's not so great: Weighs too much for me to take to other places easily.
What I liked most about this purchase was the keyboard, foot pedals and stand were included in the price. About all that would have made it better was to come with a bench too. It also came with a piano book of the 60 songs played on the demo. As a beginning pianist, this book was FAR too difficult for my level, but a nice touch as what to aspire to. The 88 keys have a nice touch for an electric with a fairly pleasant sound from the 2 attached speakers at either end of the keyboard. My husband likes this keyboard because I can plug in headphones and he doesn't have to listen to me practice.
If I were looking for something more professional, this would not be it, but for the money, feel of keys, look of the Casio keyboard sitting in the room, the metronome it has, plus 3 choices for key striking, a beginner really can't go wrong. :)

What's great about it: weighted keys; piano stand and 3 pedal set included
What's not so great: bench not included to round out the piano set
I am a basic piano player who is getting back into the piano now that my son is learning to play. I have always played a traditional grand piano and this digital piano feels very similar to me. I really like the weighted keys compared to the digital pianos with non-weighted keys that I played in various stores throughout my piano search. The package comes with the piano, piano stand, 3 pedal set, and the regular single pedal - a great package, especially for the price. The only thing missing the a bench.

What's not so great: Sound Quality
The piano works fine and has a good price to it. The only thing that is not as good is the sound quality. Compared to an acoustic piano you dont need to step on the sustain pedal but for this you have to always hold down the sustain to make the sound quality sound more like an acoustic one.

What's great about it: Surprising good quality for the money.
What's not so great: Nothing!
This is an amazing piece of kit for the money, I was genuinely shocked by the quality of the sound produced. The feel of the keys must have taken an awful lot of work, it's perfect for me - not at all plastic feeling - beautifully weighted. Admittedly, this advanced keyboard is chock full of complicated features that most of us will never use, but it's good to know they're there. The stand is really sturdy and a nice piece of furniture, the packaging's great with all components (keyboard, stand and pedals) separately boxed within one big box. Be warned, that box is a two-person lift!!

What's great about it: Price, weighted keys, classy look
What's not so great: No lamp for my music
I've had this piano for 2 months now and I really love it. It has a simple, modern look to it. It adds a touch of class to my living room. Now that I've owned a piano with weighted keys, I could not do without. Even the black keys are weighted perfectly, no matter where you're applying the pressure. I think the piano sounds great. If you really want it to sound pristine, hook a midi cable up to your computer and load Alicia's Keys plugin. Some people on here said the speakers are not that great on the piano. They certainly aren't bad - they have good stereo imaging (all the piano samples are stereo), and they don't distort or rattle the chassis even at full volume. Double headphone jacks is a great feature, they get plenty loud. The only feature I think the piano is missing is a lamp for my music. This piano has been a pleasure to learn on, and it's an exceptional value. I have no regrets about this purchase.

What's great about it: inlcudes stand, 3 pedals
What's not so great: does not include bench
I've had this piano for about 6 months now and so far I have not had any problems.
pros***I love the headphone jack so that I can practice without disturbing anyone. Does not require an extensive amount of space. The build-in songs/book are great for learning new pieces.
cons***When you lower the volume the the keys will become heavier no matter what setting you put it at. Also, the sustain pedal requires a lot of force in order to hold the notes all the way through.

What's great about it: Key weight, action and response/Value
What's not so great: Initial confusion with function settings, limited voices
The key weights, action and response are very good.
The sounds is not huge but is sufficient.
There's a limited number of voices but for the intended piano purpose it is good.
What you don't get for this price is a way to see the settings -- using a function key is necessary to set most things. This is ok but can be confusing initially.
There are better keyboards/electronic piano but for the price this is a great value.
