How we ranked these digital pianos

Every pick has at least 100 customer ratings on Amazon and a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

  • Keys weight 3
  • Weighted / hammer action weight 3
  • Max polyphony weight 2
  • Built-in sounds weight 1
  • Speaker power weight 2
  • Bluetooth weight 1
  • USB-MIDI weight 1

Buying advice: digital piano under 1000

Weighted keys decide the feel

All five list 88 keys, but the action differs. The S100, FP-10 and UMOMO list hammer or graded hammer weighted action, while the DEP-08 and PX-S1100 list velocity-sensitive or touch-responsive weighted keys. If you are coming from an acoustic piano, hammer action tracks closest to what your fingers know. The PX-S1100 is the only one here that lists battery power, at 24.7 lb.

Count the tones you will actually use

Built-in tones here run from 17 other tones on the Casio to 380 on the Donner DEP-08, with the UMOMO listing 128 tones. More tones matter if you play beyond piano sounds; if you live in one piano tone, the action and speakers matter more. The DEP-08 also lists 88 demo songs against 80 on the UMOMO and 3 on the S100, so check the song lists before you decide.

Connectivity sets up the learning rig

Every pick here lists USB-MIDI. The S100, FP-10 and PX-S1100 add Bluetooth, and the PX-S1100 includes the WU-BT10 adapter for audio and MIDI together. The UMOMO is the only one here with standard MIDI ports alongside USB, which suits external sound modules. Pick the ports that match your apps and modules, not the longest list.
