Did not work with batteries or adapter. Several others posted here that the item was defective. I regret purchasing as the return process is more difficult than previous Amazon purchases (requires box, cannot drop off at Whole Foods, etc.).

Simple, small, fun. Just what I was looking for. Every now and then I'll hear a riff I just have to learn. Latest is pete rodriquez i like it like that.Has octave jump/drop buttons easy to hit when playing boosting its range.Built in speakers sound good with decent volume for what this is.Simple options to choose from. Not overwhelming. 6 AA betteries and small size can be played in car, relaxing on the bed or sofa,on the floor.Can be plugged in, but not included. Kid like without being junk. Easy to store away in a drawer. No stand and chair taking up space.Worth the price even though others can be bought at 1/3 the cost.Keys are small but still manageable for my medium sized fingers. Thicker fingers may not like the mini keys.

A nice xmas gift for my daughter and granddaughter who both, I think have the "playing by ear" musical talent like I'm gifted with. My 2 year old granddaughter already likes playing with a real harmonica!

Bought this for my 2 year old grandson, within 5 minutes he was turning it on and off, switching beats, sounds, backing tracks, and playing along. Very intuitive and looks like it will be very sturdy, it is small and portable and easy to use, while being a very capable musical instrument. If you're looking for a beginner's keyboard that will last for years, you can buy this with confidence.

I bought this so I could figure out the melodies of songs I want to play on the ukulele. It's perfect! Small, but works with adult-size hands, and very portable. Good sound, no cord, and uses three AA batteries. Perfect!

Im a musician of 25+ years, got this for my son for his 1st birthday in 2023.Obviously he's still a toddler and not a concert pianist, but I wanted something polyphonic (a real piano instead of a toy) that would last and had multiple sounds.This thing rules, he's played it, thrown it down the stairs, stomped on it, taken on road trips and it still works great.My only request is that they make the battery compartment a little more heavy-duty, but I play it just a much as my son and it's a real keyboard with 100 sounds and he will likely still be playing it in 10 years.Legit 100% recommend.

I bought this so that I would have something to put in my lap and practice chords and chord progressions when I'm away from the piano. I'm still learning piano and need to do lots of drills to get every chord in every key burned into my brain. It fits that use case pretty well. 1) The keys are, well, not great but good enough, 2) it's very small and light, 3) it can run either on AC or batteries, 4) there are some decent tones and 5) the built-in speakers are...not terrible. You will never think they sound great, but they're not nails on a chalkboard.Additional features include an octave button, so I can shift from one part of a piano keyboard to another. A metronome. A lot of rhythm patterns, most of which are too loud compared to what you're playing, and pretty basic, but some are useful. The built-in songs are of no use to me, and you can only play them all in a specific order from first to last (though you can skip through them).The good tones include electric piano, a couple of organs, vibes (remarkably good, considering) and an Indian instrument whose name I forget, but coupled with a Middle Eastern rhythm, lets me sound like the band for a Turkish bazaar. Also a strings-and-piano that, while not great, is surprisingly good for such a cheap instrument. If you are familiar with the evolution of Casio keyboard tones over the past 30+ years, I'll just say that overall the tones on this keyboard are at least as good as, often much better, than a full-sized, much more expensive Casio keyboard from 25 years ago.The keys are mini, and an adult has to learn how to play on them effectively if you don't want to hit wrong keys constantly.Cons: the keys are cheapy-cheap. We will see how long they last. The piano tone is only barely mediocre. Wish that could have been improved. No option for sustain. No Bluetooth, MIDI or even aux input. None of these really detract from my use case, so I'm satisfied.Is it good for young kids? I'm not sure how long it would survive. If the kid doesn't use it as a hammer, or use other things (including his/her own hands) on it as a hammer, it might be a good starting point. You can actually make pleasing music with it. I don't know about you, but when I was 3, everything was a hammer. Everything, no exceptions. Hammer in the morning, hammer in the evening, all over this land. So maybe more like a (non-hammering) 6 or 7-year-old.
