Feature:
Well rounded basic features from recording to accompaniment to a metronome. No display though, so everything is run using the "control" button and the pressing another button or key. Can be a bit annoying sometimes to have to count out to a certain place on the keyboard and hit the right note to type in a new metronome tempo for example. But, I suppose they were trying to keep it within a certain price point. The main reason that I give the features only a 7 is because there are no output jacks save the two 1/8th inch headphone jacks. So, this is definitely not a stage piano. If you try hooking it up to a amp of any kind, the output quality is degraded. Plus, if you try hooking it into any type of stereo mix it will only come out of one speaker because most likely your chords will be set up for mono. This also means you really can't use this to record, because even if you get a 1/8th to 1/4th adapter, your sound will still be mono and therefore lose the sound quality. Also, even though it has MIDI ins and outs, I never got the MIDI to work right, using both Sony ACID and Garageband. I even enlisted the help of MIDI "pros" and they couldn't figure out what the problem was. Could just be my unit, but I would definitely not recommend this for anyone wanting to do anything more than practice a bit on a great sounding and feeling keyboard.

Quality:
Like I said before, this isn't and wasn't designed to be a stage piano. Made of mostly hard plastic, and I don't imagine it would put up with much of a beating. However, if you don't lug it around all the time it will do just fine for you. Mine is four years old and I've never had any problem with it (except for the whole MIDI thing).

Value:
I think it's overall a great value for the price. However, if you shop around, there are more and more companies coming out with similar products. I'm not saying that this is subpar to those, but you have options. Also, not much of a second hand market for these, especially since they have discontinued this particular model and upgraded. A better name like Roland, Korg, or Yamaha may fetch a better resale price if you're concerned about that at all. If you are looking for a realistic keyboard to practice with at home for cheap, this is definitely a good option for you.

Desirability:
Nice looking unit, especially with the wooden stand. However, I should note that the CS55 stand for it requires that you unscrew the two endplates, fit the ends of the keyboard into spots on the wooden legs, and then screw in the keyboard. So, it is NOT easy to move around if you use that stand. Unless looks are really important for you, just buy a typical folding metal keyboard stand.

Sound:
Two very realistic piano sounds, especially if you use good headphones and bypass the built in speakers. The speakers are ok, but definitely not high end. Then again, to have a keyboard with speakers is in itself nice. Other sounds are fine, nothing to write home about but good enough and fun to play around with. The keys feel great and respond very well. Overall, you can't beat the sounds for the price.

Ease of Use:
Pretty self explanatory. Only minor concern here is having to keep checking what keys to press while holding down the control button in order to do a range of things with it. So, sometimes can be a bit confusing but overall this is very easy to turn on and play.

Support:
N/A

Feature:
Pretty basic but I didn't expect much in the way of bells and whistles. Good metronome feature. I just wanted a good weighted keyboard for my piano practice etc. Speaking of which, the weighting is quite good and better than many real pianos I have played. It is a bit on the heavy side but that is good for training the hands.

Quality:
So far, so good. No complaints.

Value:
Worth the price, probably the best value on the market.

Desirability:
Come on, its a hammer and I have a lot of nails sticking up. Sex appeal?

Sound:
The piano sounds are quite good. The harpsichord is typical and is too "bright" but acceptable. The pipe organ isn't that great. The imitation Rhoades and Whurlitzer "type" piano sounds are pretty good. The strings were surprisingly good.

Support:
Dunno, hope not to find out.

Overall:
As a practice tool for piano, I cannot see where I would need something else. Super-dupper keyboard it isn't. But then I paid $380 smackers.

Overall:
This is my first time owning a digital piano. However, i've played many, and i must say that the action is very smooth and stable compared to many other brands. The only thing that is not completely satisfying are the speakers. If you turn the volume to the higher levels there is sometimes a soft hissing noise when you play near the center; but it is nothing too unbearable. (that problem is obviously eliminated by using head phones) I beleive that this piano is WELL worth its price. If you're short on cash, and you can't go without hammer action, this is the way to go.

Feature:
okay so it doesnt have 300 functions but who needs crappy electric guitar samples and cheap drum set functions on their keyboard? the other functions it does have are great--i particularly like the strings, electric piano 1, and vibraphone, and have used them all in my band's music. all of them have the same warmth produced in the piano sound. the split function also allows using one function for part of the piano and a second function for the other, and you can choose where the transition point is--i like his because i can play bass or strings lines and piano lines at the same time. also, it has a nice library of 30 or so awesome classical songs. i dont really use the rhythms much but they work. the full standard 88 keys is definitely a plus for someone like me also. my only gripe in this section is that the speakers could use a little more volume, but you can always hook it up to a PA system, keyboard amp, or guitar amp on clean.

Quality:
its plastic but sturdy. not too heavy or bulky. i never really had a problem with the build.

Value:
definitely, definitely the best keyboard you're gonna get under 800 dollars.

Desirability:
well its not ugly but ive never thought of keyboards to have sex appeal.

Sound:
the sound is incredible. there's enough punch and impact in the notes but yet it has a full, rich sound unmatched by most keyboards. most keyboards i've come across that were under 800 dollars sounded almost like you were plucking the keys, and was very choppy in sound but this one has warmth. damper pedal also works well with it. it's very responsive, the sound is great by itself whether using headphones or speakers, and works well with any genre from classical to R&B to rock. the only problem ive had is that it could use a little more reverb but other than that this thing is amazing, a lot better sounding than my real piano downstairs.

Ease of Use:
the weighting on the keys is realistic and comfortable. i had 4 years of experience on regular pianos before purchasing this keyboard and my fingers didnt have to adjust to pressure at all. its not too bulky either--you can have 88 keys anywhere.

Support:
never had to deal with it

Overall:
i definitely am not even thinking about getting anything else. this keyboard is awesome and at an affordable price. it's my favorite piece of musical equipment, and i've got tons. BUY IT!

Feature:
the only reason I did not give a ten on this is because I have not used all the features yet!

Quality:
Once again extreme quality for such a low price!

Value:
From what I see and hear from this product I feel it is one of the best for such a low price.

Desirability:
The looks,sound, and price all rolled together to make a very very nice piece of equipment.

Sound:
The sound quality is better than I had expected, the key response is terrific, you would think it is a much more expensive keyboard!

Ease of Use:
The keyboard is extremely easy to use and sound like a pro!

Support:
Have not had to use support yet!

Overall:
I only have praise for this product, nothing negative at all!
