Obviously you will never get a true concert piano sound out of a digital, but this unit is pretty good. I would still say other digitals starting in the $4-5k range sound better, but not that much better.

I do not care much for the features, and I think it has more than I will ever need.

The manual is short, and it does not need to be any longer. The buttons and the layout make sense - this is not a complicated product. Easy to assemble, but you will need 2 people for that.

The finish is flawless, no loose parts or cosmetic blemishes. The parts you need to assemble fit nicely. Only on the keyboard I see a tiny little bit of misalignment when the music sheet rest is closed down, and the distances between the keys vary a bit. But these are very minor and barely noticable.

I wanted an inexpensive digital piano, but not a cheap one. I compared the ap45 with the ydp223 side-by-side, and the feel was the same, whereas the ap45's sound was far superior to the ydp223's. That convinced me about the casio, and I do not regret getting the more expensive one. For anything under $2-3-4k this is the best you can get.

No problems yet, although I did just get it only a couple days ago.

My only problem with this piano is the way it looks. The shape just seems to be a little bit odd. Also I wish it came in different colors. (Darker, preferably). But the quality/price ratio makes up for it plenty.
