Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

If you need a typewriter with an international keyboard and a 78,000-word English dictionary, consider the Brother ML-300. It includes an interchangeable cassette daisy wheel that is easy to install and allows you to type using English, Spanish, French, or Portuguese characters. Plus, a 16-character LCD allows you to find and correct errors quickly.

The ML-300 provides many automatic time-saving features and allows you to type at a speed of up to 12 characters per second. Its automatic paper insertion ensures that each page is positioned exactly one inch from the top margin. It includes automatic centering, underlining, bold printing, and right margin flush. You can easily erase a word or an entire line with just the touch of a key using the automatic correction system. Its one-line correction memory with automatic relocation makes using the ML-300 almost like using a word processor.

The ML-300 supports superscripts and subscripts, one-touch tab set and clear, selectable line spacing, and framing capabilities to outline specific areas of the page. The sleek design includes a paper support that doubles as a lid cover and a carrying handle for convenient portability.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good at Making You Angry, May 17, 2006

If you have not been mad- I mean really good and mad- for a long time, this is the machine for you. It will guarantee frustration as long as you try to use it. I ordered this machine and the first one arrived broken. The second one worked but made the worst sounds when I would hit the return key, or backspace. Good for annoying my boss so I kept it. After a few days it randomly would assign margins, I would hit the margin release, clear any and all settings and it would work for a line or two and then at random indent, assign margins ect. No 2 lines of text would ever line up, and it felt like the typewriter equivalent to writing with a crayon. Eventually (within 30 days) I was unable to do anything with the machine. I could go on, but you get the point, I would pass on this machine.

1.0 out of 5 stars piece of crap, August 8, 2007

This review is from: Brother ML-300 Electronic Display Typewriter (Office Product)

I guess we are spoiled in this office with IBM typewriters. Unfortunately, our main one quit working (after about 10 years of use)and needed to be replaced. We did not want anything fancy, just functional. Every person in this office hates this Brother machine. We are returning it and will not purchase another Brother. There are several things about this that make it more of a hassle then its worth.

1. Can't see where you are typing. We use this for forms, so it is important to be able to line it up nicely - we waste so much time erasing and trying to line it up in the right place.

2. The keys couldn't be any harder to type. It can't keep up with your typing and you need to hit the keys hard. Lame and exhausting!

3. Have to reset the tabs, margins and pitch every single time you turn the machine on? No one can find instructions in the manual on how to make these adjustments stay.

So once you spend five minutes adjusting your tabs and reseting the pitch, you struggle to line it up, erasing and readjusting a million times. It feels like crap while you do it. And Wha-la, it took you 20 minutes to type a form that took 3 minutes on the old IBM Wheel writer.

Spend the extra cash and buy from a company that makes smooth comfortable and efficient machines.

1.0 out of 5 stars Brother ml-300 not worth considering, February 8, 2006

I have had two of these units. I would definitely not recommend anyone buying the ML-300. Save yourself some money and get something else. Both of the units lasted only 14 months. I did hardly any typing with them. Only multi-page forms and applications. The printwheel motor failed on both of them and so did the electronic board for the keys. Took in in to a repair center and was told it was not worth repairing. Contacted Brother International USA and was told that the warranty was only good for 12 months. Save yourself some money and buy a Big Chief table and a number 2 pencil.
