Review on πŸ•°οΈ Timeless Elegance: Royal Epoch Classic Portable Manual Typewriter in Gray (ROY79103Y) by Sean Maples

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It works but is cheaply made

This typewriter (Royal Epoch) works well. I read the instructions first to familiarize myself with it and try it out. Margins, tabs, bell, carriage return, spacing, etc. all work fine. I just don't really care about the feel of this particular model. It's mostly cheap plastic that feels like a toy. The keystrokes are deeper than what I'm used to from a manual typewriter, which slows my speed considerably. I bought this as a warehouse return and got a fair price for it (less than $90) otherwise I would have returned it.

Pros
  • 12.5" carriage and 11.6" maximum print width
Cons
  • too stupid
