Comments about Brother Daisywheel Electronic Dictionary Typewriter, SX4000:

This is a good basic typewriter. It is a little slow. I have to adjust my typing speed to keep from losing info. Not a big deal, just a little annoying. All in all, a good machine so far.

Previous typewriter was also a Brothers. I knew it would work for our small office from past experience. Had the other Brother for over 10 years. This new one comes with a keyboard hard cover which is very useful.

Comments about Brother Daisywheel Electronic Dictionary Typewriter, SX4000:

My Smith Corona PWP died. I needed a replacement at once. This is all there was. It's better than nothing. But not much better.
Computers have their place, but nothing will ever be better than that old Smith Corona PWP.
