Perfect for beginners/ practice piano
Bought this piano for playing at home, but right now it serves as one of my gig pianos.
The reason I chose go:piano is because it seemed to have really good sounding pianos and electric pianos. Wasn't disappointed - they do sound really warm and just right for my taste. The feel of keys is good, surely doesn't have a feel of cheap plastic. Got the chance to compare this with Yamaha NP-32 - the feel of the keys and sounds they provide is an easy win for GO:PIANO (if less keys is not a deal breaker for you)
Also love the bluetooth advantage.
The things I don't like about this piano is that whilst playing it's easy to accidentaly click the metronome or octave shift "buttons". Thanks god, it only happened during rehearsals.
Overall, good sounding piano, for a budget price, that will work well both for home playing and gigs.

Good little keyboard
I know the other reviews say this is a beginner/practice keyboard but I've use this at live concerts on 2 tours. I run it into a little eq pedal and some light FX and it sounds like a piano! I also recorded it on an album when I needed a low-fi piano part. This keyboard is super light and portable. Pretty solid if you take care of it. It was in the back on the van in a soft case and still worked every night. I think I got a lot of good use out of this keyboard.
I do wish it could be used as a normal midi controller. That would have been fantastic. But all in all this has been a workhorse and I continue to use it. Thumbs up!

Great bang for buck
Great little keyboard that I use for practise in the house, or on the go. Nice warm piano sounds, and various others. The keys are full size but the action is small - which is not necessarily a negative. Batteries for portability.
Pros; price point, strong piano and rhodes, full size keys.
Cons; you can press buttons accidentally when playing (not a big deal) some sounds are a little weak - strings for example.
Overall, highly recommended. I've heard it played through a p.a. at a jazz style gig, I genuinely thought it was a nord or something high end - and it was this little board eq'd and played very well...which just goes to show you.

Perfect for what I want
This is likely aimed at the beginners market and rightly so - it's battery powered and was (probably) bundled with tuition stuff. I like to play a few songs on piano at gigs and don't have a car so this was a compromise.
We all like weighted keys but unsurprisingly weighted keys equals weight. This is LIGHT!
I'm used to controller keyboards with pianoteq ran on logic so whilst the sound is not on that level - I definitely favour the sounds of this over the older Korgs and cheaper Yamaha's I've owned previously.
Comparing it to the similarly priced Yamaha NPs this has loads more features and I like that there are actually buttons rather than hold a function button and hit middle C or whatever.
The Bluetooth feature I think will be useful for me to wirelessly run background music from my phone whilst I'm at the bar on a break!
If I could change one thing it'd be to have control over the ratio of piano to strings rather than it just be one patch - but I'd still buy it again definitely - in fact I already have!

Best 61-key Keyboard if you are interested in learning piano
This is the best if you want to learn piano but are not sure yet if you wanna invest the money and space for a full-sized one.
+ Value for money
+ The keys feel great to the touch and feel slightly heavy (even though this is a non-weighted keyboard)
+ It is super light and compact.
+ The sound is decent for the price you pay
- If you want many different sounds other than piano, this is not the keyboard for you.
- If you are serious about learning classical piano, definitely buy a keyboard with 88 weighted keys
