Life, Unplugged
EvelynW Posted
(2nd submission) while reading guidlines it seemed to have disappeared. I appreciate being able to do work without all the trappings of being online, where you worry about privacy. There is a safe feeling in being unplug. Thank you for a less complicated product still being offered and available.

Cool manual typewriter!
HappyCustomer73 Posted
I bought this as a gift for my daughter who likes to write and wanted a different experience than a computer keyboard. It works as expected and seems well built.

My wife is loving her typewriter so far it seems to be easy to use no issues so far thank God she's been wanting it for a long time now. The price was on the high end which sucks because I'm paying extra just for the color.

IT'S PURPLE!!!
Uzzee Posted
I LOVE IT! Granted, I have always wanted a purple vintage looking typewriter mostly as decor for my office, however, this machine is made very well and it's a pretty sturdy typewriter! As a matter of fact, for fun, I have started typing my latest novel on it!

Works like a dream. My daughter wanted it when she graduated college to finish writing a book.

Junk

Junk. Purchased as a holiday present, and this typewriter literally fell apart when it was first used.

Bringing back the old school ways

Bought this as a gift for someone looking for a functional yet classic looking typewriter. His eyes lit up when he saw it…I hope it provides years of inspiration!

Excellent starter machine
Oceansmuse Posted
Not really sure why people give this such bad reviews. I’ve been typing on it for over a week now, and it works great! If you’re looking for some that is as clean as Microsoft Word, you’re barking up the wrong tree. If you’re looking for something to help you craft messy and wonderful first draft, this is it!

What a piece of garbage
Diva Posted
Removed from box only to find out the keys don't even hit the paper. Changed the ribbon and still doesn't work. At this point its just a paper weight. Will be returning.
