Brother SX-4000 Electronic Typewriter

Brother SX 4000 Typewriter

For what it is (home use portable typewriter), this unit gives good service. It should not be compared with larger "office" grade or heavy-duty machines, which tends to produce a better end result. The only consideration of a negative with this machine is that Brother did not make a high quality daisy/print wheel for it as say, Smith Corona or Olivetti did for their electronic typewriters. The Brother wheels were made in various countries, attach differently to the print motor, and they do wear out. However, for what it was designed for, this portable typewriter can last many years in home and small office use.Read full review

A good typerwriter for simple tasks and workload

There was no typerwriter ribbon and corrective type spool was disconnected and almost entirely used.
Other functions of the typerwriter work well such as typing keys and adjustments for spacing etc. Read full review

Very nice printer

This printer is good with:
-correction (it hits each letter three times with the correction tape instead of once)
-very quiet, compared to other older typewriters
-very light, only 9 lbs if i remember correctly
-solid, clicky keys

This printer is bad with:
-speed. much slower than my other typewriters, as the daisywheel seems to move very lethargically
-replacing the ink. While it's doable, it's kindof a hard to reach spot
-knowing what to do. This seems simple enough, but for every little function you want to do, you have to look it up in the owners manual because they keys aren't labeled aside from their letter

Other than that, It's a great product and I encourage you to buy.Read full review

Perfect for my geneology work.

I've had two other similar typewriters. My son-in-law wanted to use one of them; but, when my daughter & he separated, he gave the typewriter to Good Will. The other typewriter crashed after my roller knob was broken off. We were so glad to find another identical one.
Perfect.Read full review

Awesome

The type writer worked well and no issues. The good thing the ink cartridge can be purchased and not obsolete.

Works well

Works well and is easy to type on this machine. The display window is why I bought it as it allows easy reading of what you type and you can correct a misspelling before it is typed on the paper.

Brother SX-4000 Electric Typewriters

Best Buy of the year!! I use it for official forms when the PDF-fillable version is not available and other forms that I would have otherwise filled by hand.
The results? Every document leaving my office looks professional. Great correction function too.Read full review

Tired of running out of printer ink?

I ordered this Brother SX4000 electric typewriter because I got tired of either running out of printer ink and/or accidentally hitting the wrong key on my laptop and losing everything I wrote!
This typewriter works great and I can write a real letter to the editor or a friend. My friends love getting a letter in the real live mail box!!!Read full review
