Customer Reviews

IT'S NOISY!!!
excellent brand equipped with lots of features. instruction book well
written and easy to understand. doesn't weigh a ton like some other
typewriters. the only drawback that i can see (make that hear) is the noise. it makes a lot of noise when in use. all should keep in mind
that this is a personal opinion and is not meant to be any slur on the
manufacturer.

A great typewriter
I received this for a gift and am extremely happy with it. I love to write short stories but often have writer's block, so I'm excited to have a new format. The best part about this typewriter is that even though it's electronic, it still makes the familiar old "clacking" sound as you type, and has the familiar typewriter font--really sets the mood for creative writing. I wouldn't have expected a typewriter to have spell-check, but this one does--it makes a little dinging sound if you spell a word incorrectly, and gives you the ability to erase one letter, the word, or an entire line with the (included and already installed) correction tape. You can adjust the positioning of the paper yourself with the knob on the side, which would be helpful when filling out forms. Includes a keyboard cover to keep dust out of the keys, and a carrying handle. Overall, the typewriter is easy to set up and use.

Charming
I got one of these from my neighbor who was moving out, I only paid $5 for it. I've been wanting to get a typewriter for my wife for some time now, and this one is it. We got the starter kit from Amazon - it has everything you would need to get it going. I had only used an old mechanical typewriter in the past, but never actually did anything on it since my IBM PC30 in 1987 landed on my desk. I have to admit there is some charm in using a typewriter. This product is very good, sturdily build, worked like new after we wiped the dust and dirt of its face. The only shortcoming I can see is the limitation of font types available - Brougham (10 Pitch) and the same in italics.
