While the volumn is not great and the sound not wonderful, this is priced right and fun for the parties I plan to use it for. I did not want to spend a lot and think this was a good deal. I did order the first machine and there was a factory defect. I called Overstock through the chat line and they sent the return postage and I took it to UPS for an easy return. I reordered and it took a few days to get the new one which works great.
