What experts didn't like

The sleek design is great for some people. But, if you want a traditional looking digital piano, this is not the product for you. The stand is not included with your purchase of the P125. The pedal tends to break easily and feel flimsy under the feet.
Not the most realistic key action. Limited selection of sound effects/settings. Basic sustain footswitch. No Bluetooth connectivity onboard.
You'll need to replace the sustain pedal because of its quality.
Extremely basic sustain switch; you will need to upgrade to a proper pedal. Keyboard action is a little dated. Controls are awful. Plastic construction; feels sturdy but cheap.
