Fits in my suit pocket, helps with the odd word i forgot how to spell or when i need to clarify some meanings. It has the Express Collins dictionary so its not a massive dictionary like the more expensive ones but for everyday use it’s great.

This was such a waste for money for me!
As an OU student I was very keen to buy an electronic dictionary/thesaurus – I chose this one as it seemed a reasonable price and promised much. What the packaging doesn’t tell you is that the screen is tiny, the text difficult to read, and the definitions are very limited.
I have ended up having to spend 3 times as much to get a really good model with a big screen, as I just found this model a waste of time, money and energy.
My advice is to save up and get a more expensive model, or stick to the heavy and cumbersome – but much more detailed – paper versions.

Excellent. Brought for kids. Fits in a pencil case. Definitions are short and concise and they don’t confuse our 10yr old. Not too expensive to take to school.

Small and compact and fits neatly into a top pocket. Its only fault, the keypad is a bit small (large fingers may find it a bit difficult) but you can always use the end of a pencil or pen. I would certainly buy another should the occasion arise again. Good value!
