I bought this to use for the bar exam and it has been nothing but trouble. The daisy wheel breaks after typing less than 10 pages and the warranty doesn't cover the daisy wheel. Brother's customer service is pretty weak too. I've been observing a bunch of other folks using this or very similar brother typewriters and the problems with the daisy wheel seem pretty consistent. I'm pretty unhappy with this purchase considering I've typed less than 50 pages on this thing and I've had to replace the typing ribbon and the daisy wheel. It's not a good product.

I would suggest this to anyone looking for a basic typewriter

Cons
1. Margins are very difcult to set
2. Brother support is awful I contacted them to inform that I did not receive a ribbon or US daisy wheel and they wanted me to jump through hoops. In the end it was just easier to go an buy them.

This machine was a replacemtent for a TA Satellite III. It has taken some time to get used to how it works, but it is an overall good machine for the money. Still have to refer to the directions, as I do not use all of the features enough to remember what to do. My only neg. comment is that setting the margins can be a pain.

Have had a lot of time to use this typewriter and it has done very well. No print problems, smears, jams or carriage problems. Very happy with the product. Typing is very smooth and keys do not have to be pounded on.

This typewriter produces superior printing, but has a catch. That is, the print ribbon must not be disturbed, prior to or during use. Once the ribbon becomes the slightest bit misaligned, the print will become very dark, and blotchy. The remedy is easy enough: just remove and re-insert the ribbon cartridge. However, the item on which you were typing may be "corrected" but the result "will not be pretty." Bottom line: quality printing - unless the printing ribbon is disturbed upon entering media.

the brother ml-100 does all i need it to do no problems, good price, $65.00 higher here, not including sales tax

Received the typewriter promptly from Unique Findz. It works fine. This fills the void perfectly when a computer is impractical to do simple typing jobs. After I removed the typewriter from the box, I noticed there was no sales receipt included. Should I have need of repairs within the warranty period, the receipt is necessary. I contacted Unique Findz sales manager and he promised me the receipt and a partial refund for the correction tape that was faulty. It is over a month now and nothing has been received. Sure hope the typewriter stays healthy!

I do not like it as well as the BrotherSX-23 I had for 10+ years. This one is adequate for what I use it--envelopes and typing checks--things not always convenient to do on the computer.

This Brother brand BRTML 100 Standard Electronic Typewriter is very
modern and has everything a typewriter needs and more. It does have a
cover for protecting the keyboard which I'm glad it has and also
an extra daisy wheel typewriter head when the new gets old and there is
3 manuals-1 for English, 1 for Spanish, and another language I can't read.
The keys have wonderfully coded. There is everything great in this product
to use if a person doesn't have a computer and only wants to use a typewriter.

We opened this and went to use it and it would not work. We called Brother to troubleshoot and they said it was the Daisywheel and we needed to buy a new wheel and that it was not a part covered under the warranty even though the machine was brand new and this was first time use. I will be returning this and not buying anohter Brother product if this is the kind of support they offer on thier products. Horrible customer service when we called in the problem.
