Customer Reviews:

Wow! Nice setup!
This was so easy to hook up to my phone and stereo system! I can't speak to the speaker it has, as I didn't use that. We had about 25 teens over for a karaoke party and this baby did the job perfectly. Would absolutely recommend.

Grreat
I am very happy with this.

Didn't
Ugh.

Very pleased with the machine
It is user friendly and a great value for your money.

Family fun
This has been so much fun for our family!

Lightweight and easy to handle
I haven't figured out how to use the Bluetooth yet or record.

Nice compact with plenty of options.
Nice portable machine. Speakers are not the best but has ports for additional speakers.

Karaoke machine
Is not what I wanted not enough volume. Not the quality I wanted.

The same fault developed on Two different karaoke machines ????
I was delighted to receive this karaoke machine & it worked fine for a few months then it developed interference noises through the microphones. Amazon asked me to return it & they would replace. I very quickly and efficiently received my replacement karaoke machine which was an upgrade but the same fault occurred a few months down the line so it was returned again. Neither of them were overused or roughly handled so it neither would last very long being used at parties. Such a shame because I absolutely loved all the features of it.

Fun
Bought for my daughter's 10th birthday, she loves it. The music provided isn’t great as we don’t know most of them and some aren’t suitable for children but you can buy your own. Sound is great, lights are good and set the mood. It looks a bit cheap and probably a bit expensive for the look and feel but daughter loves it so we're happy.

Plastic Rubbish
This was a Christmas present for our 8-year-old and hasn’t worked since day 1! I’ve returned the product and still nothing, so not only does my daughter not get her present but I lose £189!! Disgraceful.

Well worth the money
This is a superb piece of equipment. So pleased I took a gamble and bought it. Superb sound quality on songs and DVD. Mics are also great quality, and to have two is a bonus. The big plus is also the ease of use. I am one very satisfied customer.

Viewed lots of Karaoke's & the GF842 definitely the best there's was a lot that was exactly the same...
