Our verdict

Smith Corona's SL480 comes with very little detail in its listing. Confirm features, ribbon type and warranty with the seller before buying.

Overview

Smith Corona sells the SL480 as a portable electric typewriter, a compact machine meant for home or school typing. The listing gives only the model number, weight and package size.

The listing confirms a portable electric format and a manageable weight, and that is nearly all it states. Ribbon, correction, display and keyboard details are missing, so the feature set is unknown from this page.

Who it's for

A writer or student looking for a basic typewriter for letters and forms may find it useful once the specifications are confirmed. Anyone who needs spell checking or storage should verify those features first.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Model number clearly identified
Cons

Performance notes

As an electric typewriter it uses a motor to strike characters, rather than relying on keystroke force alone. Beyond that, the listing does not say how it handles correction, pitch or paper.
