Customer Reviews of Zelco Electronic Bookmark Dictionary II
Customer Rating: Rating: 1/5Rating: 1/5Rating: 1/5Rating: 1/5Rating: 1/5
Summary: Use as a bookmark only.
Comment: This product is better used as a bookmark only. As a dictionary the overall design and content leave a lot to be desired. As noted by other reviewers, the keyboard is too flexible where it needs to be rigid. The keys are not user friendly; very often duplicating a letter when it was touched but once. I, like others, have found the dictionary seriously flawed; not enough content, very frustrating considering the time it takes to input an entry. Further, I don't need a calculator or clock either. I suggest consideration of a different product, e.g., the SHARP E550.

Summary: Great Portable Dictionary
Comment: This is a great portable dictionary. I loved the raised keypad and the easy to read display. The clip on the back also holds it securely on the page and I am not constantly worried about it falling out of the book. The other neat thing is that it also has a conversion feature from metric to US measurements for when I'm cooking. And in case you forget how to use the thing, they've printed the instructions on the back! I love my dictionary!

Summary: ugg Where to start?
Comment: Note: product did not help me correct spelling errors in this review. So don't dis me.

Good:
Light weight, easy to hold. Battery lasts a long time
Only good for looking up words as you're reading

Bad:
* Too few display rows...letter height is small and gray on gray. I don't see color well..difficult to read

Ugly:
* Clock. Why? Designers needed to stay on task...give a good dictionary
* Dictionary. Missing, spelling lookup, pronounciation, limited vocab
* Calculator. Light Blue small text key pad numbers. If you're color blind or need reading glasses...good luck!
* Convert. Product noticably unfinished. Unusable. Convert Acres? Hectares?? who cooks up this stuff. MISSING Oz <--> ML, Mi<-->K, LB<-->kGMs

Summary: Disappointment
Comment: I seldom find a word I look up included; about 90% of the time I have to go to another, more complete dictionary. That is disappointing. I also find it hard to enter the letters, they often don't register as the touch board is too flexible. For reading on the fly it doesn't work, a hard surface is needed. So I mostly don't bother. Shame, as it's a good idea - it really bugs me to read a word and not be able to know its meaning!

Summary: Not for the Serious Reader
Comment: I bought this because it sounded like such a great idea.
Unfortunately, every other word that I needed to look up wasn't in it.
This is a good BASIC dictionary, which will probably be useful to students and light readers, but if you are an AVID READER like me, and read everything from history to science fiction, this device may not serve you well.

Choosing Appliance -> Sinks
Consider which accessories might be beneficial. Many models can be supplied with a draining basket, chopping board and strainer bowls. A drainer extension can be useful for sinks without a drainer where worktop space is limited in a small kitchen.
Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens
The standard 60cm oven has been joined by various other sizes. Now consumers can choose from 60,70 and 90cm wide built-in single ovens. Always check the internal capacity shown in litres as well as the external dimensions.

Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Maintain Electrical Safely
The insulation on electrical cords can become damaged by wear, flexing, or age. Do not use any cord that is stiff or cracked. Some clues that you may have an electrical problem are:
  • Flickering lights. If the lights dim every time you turn on an appliance that circuit is overloaded or has a loose connection.
  • Sparks. If sparks appear when you insert or remove a plug, they could be a sign of loose connections.
  • Warm electrical cord. If an electrical cord is warm to the touch, the cord is underrated or defective.
  • Frequent blown fuses or broken circuits. A fuse or circuit breaker that keeps tripping is an important warning sign of problems.
  • Frequent bulb burnout. A light bulb that burns out frequently is a sign that the bulb is too high a wattage for the fixture.
