I have owned this dictionary for about 18 months. Used it once in a while, however, its screen started to show signs of failure not a long time ago. The Ectaco refuses to repair (I was told that they, actually, do not repair its products at all, they just replace them), and asks ~$200 to exchange it for another model which will probably last another two years... I have two Ectaco electronic dictionaries, and based on my experience, all of their products are overpriced. Their Customer Service is far from being perfect.
