I got this piano for my daughters since they started piano lessons. It sounds and feels like a regular piano. For the price, it is a good buy.
Rating: - great value, quality instrument
I just started taking piano a few months ago. As an adult learner I didn't want to commit to an upright until I see how successful I am at this new "hobby". This piano is the perfect compromise and I recommend it to anyone.
Pros:
It has pressure sensitive keys allow you to play as loudly or softly as you desire.
It has a volume dial for keeping your practice quiet.
There is a headphone jack for keeping your lesson completely private.
88 full size keys as opposed to cheaper toy versions of keyboards make it easy to switch to an upright when you play on your teacher's piano for your lesson.
It has some measure of portability, so it would be easy to sell on ebay if the time comes as opposed to an upright piano which would be harder to sell.
Cons:
Even the loudest setting is fairly quiet, so you would need an amplifier to play in public.
It's a little heavy and cumbersome to take out and about.
Since these are my thoughts as a new piano student, I thought they may be helpful. I often tell my husband that "I love my piano." So I guess that statement speaks for itself.

The keboard plays very much as a piano with much less weight, space, and maintenance. My favorite aspect of the keyboard is touch response, which allows me to create different sounds based on how hard I hit the keys. This feature expands the selection of songs I can play, and improves the quality of my compositions. The multiple tones of the keyboard also allow me to have fun in experimenting with other instrumental sounds aside from the piano.

Awesome, pretty close to a piano. We just love it. Great sound and very good looking :D. The price is a +.
Rating: - Excellent keyboard for the price.
I took piano (on an upright piano) for about seven years before I went to college. I got this keyboard as a birthday present in February 2007 (I had done the research and found it). It has lived in my college's on-campus apartment since then, and in a storage unit over the summer, and has experienced no problems. In the past year of use, it's been a great tool.
Pros:
Very nice, sleek look.
Enough choices to have fun - different tones, recorded songs + songbook, etc - while still "professional".
Pretty easy to adjust to weighted keys.
Good sound.
Comes with a free pedal!
Cons:
The sound of keys is very apparent while playing. You can solve this by using headphones or turning the sound up a bit.
A bit weighty - I don't know what keyboardists lug around, but this one's hard to move around casually.
Overall, I'd highly recommend it! A great value for the price.
