    • Very happy with product n delivery

    • Excellent Electronic Dictionary
This is a nifty electronic dictionary that is useful for writers who need help but are not allowed to use online resources for writing assignments. There is not an internet connection so it is an excellent option for those who need an accommodation in school without it being considered cheating. The bad news; overpriced for what it is…just a prebuilt dictionary and thesaurus. The directions for clearing the opening message DO not work or are so unclear I have yet to figure out how to stop them from scrolling every time I power it on. Just press clear. It would be nice to stop getting that opening message. ... show more

    • I don't like it as well as my older Franklin Spellchecker.
I had an older Franklin Spellchecker that finally died. This one works, but I don't like the smaller size.

    • Don't waste your money!
After spending more time with this product, I've come to the same conclusion many other reviewers here have: it lacks on assisting difficult puzzles, which is at the core of what makes devices like these so handy. I figured this would be an improvement on their older model, the CWP-206, but it takes longer to create an answer list. The time it takes goes up dramatically the farther into the word that your first known letter sits. It took the CWP-206 only one second to finish searching for the word "harem" with the first letter a wildcard, but took 8 seconds to finish on the SA-309. ??REM took less than 4 seconds for the CWP-206 to produce five words, and 37 seconds on the SA-309 to produce only two words. If you start to try longer words with more front-end letters missing, it gets so slow as to be unusable. What really annoys me is that it seems like they removed a lot of answers that were specific to solving difficult crosswords - certain terms, first/last names, or short phrases you would not normally find in a dictionary. My best guess is that they used a smaller crossword solver database to make more room for the spellchecker and thesaurus, the primary functions of the device given the "SA" product prefix. Giving Franklin one more chance, I considered purchasing the slightly more expensive CWP-570, which I figured would be the real upgrade I was looking for. I was shocked to find the reviewers there had the same complaints. Through my searches I also found that Franklin used to sell it as the NYT-570CWD, with the New York Times logo printed on it, but must've realized the folly of their ways and removed the reference. They're so full of other useless games and features that the main selling point seems like an afterthought. Over the last few years I've finished thousands of New York Times crosswords and, like others, have found Franklin's (sadly discontinued) CWP-206 to be one of the best solvers around. There is also a more compact CWP-106. If you can't find either of those used, I would recommend Seiko's line of crossword puzzle solvers, ER3200/ER3700/ER6700. They can be found on Amazon (I found the ER3200 for $35), but it may take some time to find a reasonable price since they're usually coming from the UK/Ireland. They use the Oxford English Dictionary and run circles around Franklin's current solvers on the market. You can read their customer reviews on Amazon's UK site. ... show more

    • The product is inconvenient and slow and requires too much repetitive reentering
The asterisk and? Keys do not work at all and make it worthless as a user friendly

    • As advertised and on time!
The product arrived promptly as promised and meets all expectations. It is a replacement for a similar product that finally failed after over 30 years of use.
