Royal 79101t Classic Manual Typewriter (mint Green)

Acts like a refurbished unit ribbon locks up won’t go from left to right like it supposed to keys don’t always go all the way in the hit the ribbon I’ll be looking for a new one

This item is terrible. We bought it for our son's birthday. He's 9 and wanted a typewriter. The machine isn't well built, it's very clear where it will break when changing the ribbon. The keys do not type well. The machine adds random spaces. It's very difficult to line up the paper properly. Please listen to all the other reviewers and don't purchase this item. It's garbage. You're better off buying a used typewriter and taking your chances on whether or not that works then buying this piece of crap.

Works great! Got for my daughter and she loves it.

This is absolute GARBAGE. I ordered the typewriter and it arrived in the box unopened defective. The cord that is used to advance the bar was severed, so I was unable to use it at all. I requested a replacement to be sent. The replacement arrived defective. Only the top half of the letters would print on the paper. I replaced with new roll of ink and the same issue existed.. Don't bother wasting your money.

The royal typewriter is made in the USA or at least their warehouse is here in the United States. Aesthetically it is really pretty. It looks amazing on my book shelf in my office. You do have to really push those keys to get an impression. After years of touch screens and laptops it took a little adjustment. I bought the Royal to type index cards on for my filing system and research notation. The Laser printer cannot suffice for art creations. I don’t know that I would write a book on this typewriter. I think it would frustrate a real writer. But for making quick note, it’s really fun. It’s a great gift for someone trying to learn how to type, especially a young person or a person who knows how to type and they don’t want to do a lot they just wanna make a few notes. I’ve heard and read and watch many videos about the subject matter. The royal really is the best new one that you can buy of its class it’s available in a lot of colors. I just chose mint because it’s my favorite color . My brother chose black because it looks great with his industrial place. I just woke up morning and had the extreme need to have a mechanical typewriter and there it is… I’m happy with it. I think it’s important to bear in mind what it is and what is available right now for manufacturing these machines. And I’m looking forward to using it in my future art studio good luck, and I hope this answer some of your questions. I am on the lookout for vintage typewriter, That’s mechanical. But if you don’t wanna have to scour, thrift shops, consignment shops and antique Mart, the new Royal will get you there. I like this machine. Remember to buy extra type writer ribbons! Good luck happy typing.😇

Love the pink! Works great!

We bought this for our son, an aspiring poet, for his 34th birthday. He just tried it out yesterday (3 1/2 months anfter receiving it) and it is not working properly. Disappointing and am hoping the seller will replace it!

Amazing Friday

Il marche à merveille, je l'adore. Je n’ai pas d’autres mots pour désigner la machine à écrire.

I’m really impressed with my purchase just what I wanted, packaging and shipping was very good.

Capital Letters didn't print, not even with the new ink. Royal Classic Manual Typewriters supposed to be good!!! but not this one. Some of the keys didn't go all way to the paper. The ink didn't print bold enough that you can see it.

It’s a lovely item and it works

I’ve wanted a new typewriter since I left mine when I moved out of my parents house 20yrs ago. How hilarious is that!?? I bought this one because of the royal brand and I love it. It’s seriously beautiful. I’m definitely an aficionado with zine nostalgia but I think this would be so amazing for any burgeoning typist. I love it!
