Singing Machine iSM1030BT Bluetooth Karaoke Pedestal, Karaoke Machine with Speakers, Black

I received this for my birthday to replace an older system and I checked tons of reviews before purchasing. It works with all my purchased CDGs and hooks up to my TV no problem. I was able also to hook my laptop up to the TV and play Karaoke songs from Youtube on the tv and sing through the speakers. Fun! I did not test the flash drive or Bluetooth yet, but the slot in front of the CDG drive makes a nice spot to keep the case for the "in use" CDG.Microphones have long enough cords that singers can sit further from the system on the furniture. Volume control is separate for the two microphones which is nice if one person wants to be louder or softer. Speakers work great and are plenty loud enough for a larger size room with a bunch of people. There are silver screws and black screws provided for assembly. Keep them straight because although they will fit in the same holes, some are longer than others and length does make a difference! Voice of experience. Easily rectified but thought I'd put that out there.The speakers and pedestal are pretty lightweight which makes for great portability but my daughter has a German Shepherd and an Aussie Heeler and they were playing and nearly knocked the machine down. It is stable but a bit top heavy and can easily be knocked over by a careless dog or a small child, and the machine might not survive the fall, especially on a hard floor. I think the only thing I would change about this machine is to make the platform base wider and heavier, for that reason.I was able to purchase songs from the Singing Machine website and burn my own mix as a CDG. LOVE that as I've had trouble finding enough songs I enjoy on commercial CDGs and sets to warrant the purchase price, without duplicating songs I already have. This way I only buy the songs I like. Songs end up being about $2 each and for that you get the vocal and no vocal track for each song you buy and the option of multiple formats. I had a little trouble figuring out how to select the correct format to burn to the CDG at first. There is a link on the words I didn't see at first that let me select and download the right format in my purchased songs folder online. Burn at the slowest speed your machine allows like it tells you. The burner on my laptop worked at 10x.I burned Christmas CDGs and we used the machine at our church Christmas party without the mikes for a sing-along with the words going on the TV and the music playing (They had traditional and non-traditional fun ones. The Grinch Song was a hoot and a half by the way). Room was the size of a small gym and you could hear to the back with people talking.I love that this machine is affordable but not cheap looking or sounding. It's obviously not a professional system for recording but for family and party use it's fantastic! Very happy.

As I was assembling this, I wondered how in the world the Singing Machine company could be making a profit.This is a complete, standalone karaoke machine. There are two wired microphones, two wired speakers, a decent stand, and the actual karaoke unit. The karaoke unit has a built-in CD player, a USB port, and even a radio. That's a lot of equipment for the price, and it all works fine for home karaoke. It's even a decent way to just listen to OTA radio.Kudos to Singing Machine!

I bought this item needing it for a party I was attending 3 days later. I was super exicted when it arrived on Tuesday and my party was on Wednesday! Yay! It arrived on time! However, the joy was short lived! At first when I was opening it, it seemed really cool. It has bluetooth and usb hookups and capabilities, and taller speakers. It overall looks like its worth the money. I put one of my new cd's in and I was instantly dissapointed and angry. The master volume button was defective. I would twist it and the volume would go up or down only 1 line and would stop so you couldn't adjust it anymore. I noticed when singing that my voice wasn't coming through. At first I thought it was the speakers, but through further investigation found that the volume buttons for the microphones were not working either. Although this machine looks really expensive, it is a piece of crap. I immediately come here to write a review because I am so disappointed. My party is tonight and I promised I would bring the karaoke machine, and now I don't have one to bring! Hopefully, I can find a decent one in stock at Target or Walmart within the next hour.DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY on this piece of crap.

We have all had a family holiday event marred by a good old fashioned family falling out. Well, with my husbands family finally all reunited for their traditional Christmas group after the pandemic, there was probably no way of avoiding it. After the dust settled, we turned on the machine and lured everyone back out together one by one. By the end of the night we had the whole family laughing, dancing, and singing together. The machine was easy enough for the 90+ year old seniors to use, and was easy to hook up to the family tv. Having two microphones was a huge plus, as people were more likely to sing in pairs than alone. Highly recommend. Worth the money. If you also have a combative multigenerational family, don’t sleep on this!

The Sining machine is a machine for beginners or novice karaoke lovers. It is very easy to assemble and operate. I love the Bluetooth capability, in addition to the cd, USB, radio input. I noticed with the speakers that they are not meant for max volume. Static and crackels are noticeable. So it seems that it would be very easy to blow the speakers. Overall I love to just turn on for music as well as singing a tad. Great family activity for those brave enough to do in front of others!

Mic is of poor quality , makes a lot of scratching noise, even with mic filter .

I love my Karaoke Machine. Awesome product. It does seem that I cannot adjust the microphones volume individually. It has knobs to do so but they seem to not to work. But I can adjust the volume with the master volume knob. For that, it made it "ok" for us. We have sung with this machine at least 1000 times now and it works fine. No other bugs or glitches from what I mentioned before. The mastervolume controls the sound great, very loud, good quality sound. We really like all the settings, and often use the bluetooth with our tablet for youtube karaoke. Love this, so glad we bought it, even though it is known to come with glitches. (some of the reviews report such errors and glitches) Mine are not even noticed so I give this buy an A, it's great, works great. Thank you!
