Nothing turns a simple gathering into an epic party like a karaoke machine.

What features should you look out for?When considering karaoke machines for sale, pay attention to the features available. These might include:
- The ability to record – Would you like to play back your performance, or are you happy to put it out there and be done?
- Auto Voice Control – You can use this to separate your voice and the audio track, giving you the ability to alter the volume of either.
- Display – If you want to see the lyrics on the machine itself rather than through a TV, you will need to choose a machine with a screen.
- Wireless connectivity – Karaoke machine Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity means that you can play tracks easily through one of your compatible devices.
- Lights – Some machines have disco-style lights to enhance a performance.
Yes, home karaoke machines are available as portable units. A common type is known as a plug and play, which means that you can plug the machine into an external device such as a TV or a speaker system and it is immediately ready to use. Although they are easy to set up, you should always check the manufacturer site for details of the weights and dimensions to make sure that a machine is practical for you to transport.
What audio inputs are there?Many karaoke machines offer a range of inputs. Most plug in directly to a device such as your phone, tablet, or even your TV using an aux cable. Many have the ability to accept CDs via a top loader system and some have wireless connectivity via Bluetooth.
What power options do you have?Many karaoke machines will be powered solely through an AC adaptor, which plugs into any power outlet. However, if you plan to use the machine outdoors or in an area without sockets, you should consider purchasing one that can be powered with batteries. These machines will have built-in, rechargeable batteries, although cheap karaoke machines sometimes allow you to insert your own.
