DMQ221 Collins English Dictionary with Thesaurus

Bought to replace an older one that died through old age! In regular use.Comprehensive. Other makes may have slightly bigger screens.Type more or less same size.

This product is poorly designed with a display that is too small and lettering difficult to read. Its dictionary content is less than in earlier models. It is a waste of money

After sending and returning other versions of this item I have decided to keep this. They are all far too small. My old Franklin was much easier to use and the thesaurus much better. This is very fiddly and I find that using a rubber pointer is better than fingers. The makers of these should realise that quite a percentage of customers are in the older age bracket. The screen is too small for older eyes and especially one of the other types had a green screen which was not good at all. Black printing on yellow or white background is the best. It also switches off too quickly and you have to reset it again each time. It would be much better to improve the dictionary and thesaurus rather than have calculators, clocks, phone number storage, etc. One of the plus points of these is supposed to be that they are pocked-sized. My old Franklin was a good big bigger but still pocket sized. Smaller is certainly not better.

the item was alright but I could nor read the writing on the lid how to use

Excellent product and service

Product easy to understand good r many uses

I am disappointed. I purchased it mainly because of the advertised black text/white background colour combination. In actual fact it is blue text on a hazy grey, meaning that it is nowhere near as easy (for me) to read as it should be. Even the box image glows with black text on a white background. Not only that, but being a crossword fan, as as an anagram test I always write 'subpost', hoping that 'bus stop' will appear. 'subpost, sub post and postsub all return 'No anagrams' as the response. That's strange, I thought, and so I tried bus stop in the dictionary ... same response. It is anyone's guess how many normal English words and phrases are missing. Disappointed.

THE BEST QUALITY

This is a good product however it stopped working after less than 1 year. I have no idea why. We put in a fresh Duracell battery too. Very disappointed. I had this growing up 30 years ago and that unit lasted decades. Build quality has decreased!

Easy to carry with word games for children.

good product

Over all I have to say it works for what I bought it for. My grandson was using his tablet to look up the definition and spelling of words. But, when I wasn't in the room he gets side tracked with videos or ads that would pop up. Ironically, the dictionary he had doesn't always have an easy explanation for a second grader in defining words that they can understand. I have found that this is working great we've had it for about 2 weeks now. There are only 2 dislikes. 1) is the size; I wish it was a bit larger. On the box that the owner uses to advertise it You can see that it looks like a good size. You could see by the picture that it's not very big at all. 2) Is if it was black on white meaning the background in white and the writing in black. However, it's an older model so it's bluish black lettering on a green background. But it gives you the definition and it also has a thesaurus that works great as well. I would recommend it to anybody looking for a quick way to help when spelling and finding the meanings to words for first grade to adulthood.

コンパクトで軽く持ち運びには良いのですが、記述内容が簡素過ぎます。ちょっとした単語や熟語は調べられず、座右に置いて使うのには殆ど向かないと感じます。現在持っている同じFranklinの電子辞書は落として蓋の部分が壊れてしまったので、本品を買ったのですが、正直の処買わなければ良かったと反省しています。
