Nakajima WPT-160 Electronic Portable Typewriter with Display and Memory

I thought I could only write my book on a typewriter but…while many authors do…They obviously never used a modern computer? I never tried this typewriter ( and I type 95 WPM with no errors) because everyone in my family plus my friends told me that this was “old technology” so I returned it and purchased on Amazon…the Brand new edition of the 2024 Apple IPad with the newest matching Magic Keyboard. However, this typewriter is the only new typewriter still being manufactured and is rated Very high scores…plus is perfect for those who, for any reason, cannot, or do not, prefer a computer! = “DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS!”

It works

Very difficult to operate. Blanks out and need to restart . Received with keys missing, loose in box.

My 88 year old mother can only use this kind to write letters and cards…she loved this!!

I worked in an office all my life and haven't seen a typewriter for sale that is better than this one. I am over the moon with my purchase. Great quality. Will get lots of use because I am currently doing something I've wanted to do for many years. I am writing a book.

I just obtained this typewriter about 2-3 weeks ago. In order to properly rate it , one would have to use it quite a bit over a longer period of time-- for instance, how difficult is it ti obtain and install ribbons for it, etc.....I like to type occasional, rather involved paper letters to people though, usually authors or professors in the upper levels of the intellectual world, and an older secretary I had used who works part-time out of her home is getting a bit too old, like myself at the age of 75. So I could do it myself, I bought this typewriter. It had been 30 years since I had personally used an electronic typewriter; but I just did type a 5 pg., single-spaced letter to an author whose book I'd just read. This typewriter worked well enough, and I found the experience of using it rather enjoyable.

The machine came packaged securely. This typewriter word processor has a display window for previewing the text before actual printing. It has many features which I have yet to familiarize myself with. I like the carrying handle feature for portability. I wish the keyboard had a sturdier cover. The one that comes with the machine is thin plastic. Over all, this machine is a good buy. I am happy with this purchase. I highly recommend this machine.

This typewriter was a replacement typewriter for my 92 year old mother in law. She had a Brother that she used for years that finally stopped working. This typewriter initially did not work. As soon as it was taken out of the box she started typing and it typed two or three lines then started typing character that had no ink on them . I spoke with an extremely helpful man in support and he told me the problem were that the ribbons were shipped with tabs that prevented ribbons from unspooling during shipping. The problem was that NOTHING in the instruction manual told you this. After removing the tabs it is working fine.
