    Life, Unplugged

    (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.

    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.

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

    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!

    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.
