About this deal
Most karaoke machines do a lot more than just play songs, with many in our round-up coming with cool extras like flashy light shows, sound effects, a record function and even interactive games. Set-up is super-quick – you just need to connect your phone or tablet via Bluetooth, then load up your tunes using YouTube (which is a goldmine for finding amazing karaoke versions of your favourite songs).
Essentially a karaoke machine and DJ mixer in one, it manages to pack a huge amount of features into a small package – so much so, we’re still discovering more weeks into testing. Even George Ezra would have been impressed with our six-year-old’s enthusiastic rendition of “Shotgun”, that’s for sure. But, digging further into the box, we were a bit worried about the number of different wires inside.Connect to your own, external music devices and play any song through wireless Bluetooth technology. From the flashy light show and sound quality, to the endless song choices and how simple it was to set up and use, it really ticked a lot of, if not all, our boxes.
With a rechargeable battery and a leather carry handle to move from room to room, it’s definitely a karaoke machine that’s made to last. Plus, the machine interacts with the Tobi 2 Robot Smartwatch(not included) which becomes a remote control – Watch Tobi's expressions as the beat of the music changes!Two high-definition cameras capture all the action, while they can get super-creative with the green screen and built-in backgrounds – will they become a superhero, newsreader, astronaut or something else entirely? There are a whopping 80 kid-friendly songs pre-loaded, so our little testers were able to try these out straight away, but this karaoke machine really feels more suited to adults – or at least requires adult supervision as it’s far from a toy.
If you’re after something a little more affordable, the VTech Kidi Super Star DJ microphone and stand has plenty to keep big and little kids entertained.Tobi Friends have a playful, interactive personality and converse in their own special language, offering a fun and creative play experience.
