Ectaco EI200D is very good........2006-08-14

This is a great machine for the price. The word database is more than adequate at over 400 thousand words. I don't have the battery problems that some customers have. I attribute this to the mfr making corrections based on customer complaints. I notice that my manual is dated 2005, and that the battery cover is plastic. The plastic cover obviously negates the requirement to place an insulator between the batteries and the cover. There is no problem with contrast either. The contrast is easily controlled with the contrast knob to give me optimum brightness. I've been using the unit for about two weeks. I don't know how long the two CR1220 batteries will last. I have no complaint with the unit but one suggestion for enhancement. And that would be inclusion of definitions of acronyms.

Solid value and dependability.......2006-05-18

I found this device really good at what it is meant to do - namely replace a regular paper dictionary. The vocabulary base was suitably inclusive and the search functions make it really quick and easy to find the words I am looking for. I haven't had any problem with the batteries myself and when I called customer service about how to use some of the bonus software, I was treated well.

One thing I really appreciate is the new words recording function that lets me add to it in the rare case I don't find the word I need.

Overall, a good product.

The first one didn't work from the start and I returned it to Amazon.Com. The second one drained the batteries in a matter of days. I returned that one...The replacement had the same problems. The fourth one worked a little better. I kept replacing the batteries every month or two. I just replaced all three batteries and it doesn't work at all. It is not worth all the hassle. The product has some serious design flaws. It should be taken off the market until the problems are corrected.

Poor Excuse.......2002-03-26

In general the definitions are better from Italian to English. The unit had the potential for being terrific. I have used a Casio Boss for years, with very few battery replacements. The Ectaco goes dead before you can use it. The games could really help with vocabulary, but the words used are usless. Had very little success in dealing with the company - most of them seem to be native Russian speakers and communicating was difficult. In the end I have a dead, worthless piece of electronics.

Junk.......2002-03-20

The product didn't work it all... which I discovered after about 30 minutes of trying to get the batteries in place. I'm sending it back.
