Royal Epoch Classic Portable Manual Typewriter - Gray (ROY79103Y)

I bought this as a birthday gift for my sister, she's in love with it! It comes with a case, it's not electric it's not super loud it looks sleek and nice, it came with ink but I got extra, the universal spools are exactly what this machine uses, it took a minute to figure out, the 'user manual' is not a user Manuel, it only tells you the parts of the machine, but we managed to figure it out. She's writing again! Thanks much, also IT GOT HERE A WEEK EARLY which was perfect timing for her birthday, saved the day on that one!

I purchased a typewriter for my granddaughter and was unable to set it up until last night due to illness. When I open my product, it had been used and has no working functions! The products case was dented and the only product info was a piece of paper with Chinese writing on one side and typing with red ink on the other. I offered to send a picture to the seller but they didn’t want one. They said that they reached out to the manufacture and that they were unwilling to send me another one as the 90 day return window had closed. I told the seller that I could provide medical documentation showing that I had been ill and she said that they wouldn’t Be necessary. I also told her I could send her a picture as you could tell it is not for three months where in tear because I could show the damage she also told me no that wouldn’t be needed. Within 10 minutes I got a response from her stating that there was nothing they could do. I was sold an item that was $149 for my eight-year-old granddaughter for Christmas all I wanted was a working typewriter I didn’t ask for cashback I just wanted another working new typewriter but be necessary. I also told her I could send her a picture as you could tell it is not for three months where in tear because I could show the damage she also told me no that wouldn’t be needed. Within 10 minutes I got a response from her stating that there was nothing they could do. I was sold an item that was $149 for my eight-year-old granddaughter for Christmas all I wanted was a working typewriter I didn’t ask for cashback I just wanted another working new typewriter but they declined to do anything for me

I bought this to use in a small library, typing labels, check out cards, etc. The ribbon gave me a bit of trouble at first, but I found a tutorial on-line and everything is up and running now. I didn't want to pay much, and this little guy is delivering the goods. It is manual. Old fashioned. If I want to type fast, the strike bars bunch up, but with patient typing it gets the job done. I am not disappointed.

I know there is an abundance of “help” in new technology. Some of it works for me, some not so good!😩. Fed up with my old lap top ( it was hooked up to printer) Great! But when the LP decided to give up the ghost, that was first problem. Then, my classroom of adult women, a few not having email, decided to get a familiar old manual ROYAL that does the job just fine. Type one copy, run it through the printer, add a postage stamp, goes on its way to recipient just fine! The machine itself is beautiful and does the job.

For $150.00, it's really not bad at all. I read review saying how it's really bad, but honestly it's pretty good. Not amazing, but it's decent & I honestly really like it. It took 4 days for shipping. I got it today which is Thursday & I ordered it on Sunday. I was so excited to get it that the wait seemed like forever, but I'm happy with what I got. I opened it immediately after UPS delivered it to my door. It was well packaged. It's sort of heavy. I opened it up & I fell in love! I read the manual like directed by some of the reviews on here that I read & YES! IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ THE MANUAL FIRST IF YOU ARE A NEWBIE! After I followed the directions, I pop a piece of paper in & tried it out. So here are the things that I experienced while using the typewriter: 1. The lower case q comes out looking like the letter a. 2. You have to press really hard on the keys & it's pretty loud. 3. Replacing the ribbon was a pain at first, but I just watched a YouTube video on how to replace the ribbon & I was good to go. 4. The spacing skips from time to time, but not all the time. 5. The Carriage Return & Line Space Lever is a bit lower than usual. None of these really bother me that much, so I'm really happy with my purchase. I love it!!

This has been every bit what the seller promised. My son really enjoys older artifacts and loves using this typewriter!

Well.. I started out like the common fool, to see how well this product actually stood to its name and price. At first this machine was a pain to deal with BUT IF ONE SIMPLY READS THE INSTRUCTIONS, AS INSTRUCTIONS WERE MENT FOR, THEN ONE WOULD UNDERSTAND THE USE OF THE MANUAL TYPEWRITER... and yes if done correctly, you do not have to be heavy handed to use with this awesome device... I give it a 10/10 stars all the way around... Thank you Royal

This typewriter is a piece of crap!! it types the letters crooked keys are so hard to push you have to hit them to type!! Doesn’t space correctly to sum it up it’s a piece of crap do not buy this I just wasted over $200 on this piece of junk!! BEWARE…. DO NOT BUY THIS TYPEWRITER

I like the product I got! Well manufactured and easy to use. Thank you!

Delivered promptly and works well. Perfect for for my mother who can't manage computers.

The typewriter is terrible. Because it doesn’t hold the paper tight enough, the typed characters were not straight, they were up and down. It looked so unprofessional. I would never have bought this had I known.
