1.0 out of 5 stars Garbage, August 4, 2005

Don't waste your money on this one folks. I bought this as a birthday gift for my mother and it's very defective. The LCD display has two large non functional strips in it, rendering it useless. This occured after only one day of light use. Seiko wants to charge us for the shipping there and back to replace it, which to Japan is pretty pricey.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless, August 23, 2005

I also purchased this item from a local store and we could not read it. The words were broken up. We purchased a new battery thinking it was low and got the same exact results. We returned the item to the store but purchased another online thinking the first one was just defective. We were wrong, the second one was EXACTLY the same. My son needed one for school so I finally bought the Franklin Spelling Ace and it is awesome.

I had to return two units because the display was missing lines!
I canceled my order. I would rate this item "0" star, but you didn't offer this option.
