  • An excellent product! Far superior to earlier versions like the 2100 and 2150!
Don't be swayed by the lack of reviews (at this point) for this spanish english dictionary. It's only because it's the latest version. I decided to take a gamble on it by purchasing a barely used one for $30 and it has really payed off. Before I ordered this model I had used the 2100 and the 2150. Both of these models are ok if you want a dictionary that is good enough, but that is not a well made product that is user friendly. With the 2170 it seems that Franklin has finally decided to catch up with the times and make something that works more intuitively and does what an electronic device like this should do (make the act of using a dictionary easy and quick). The way that the keyboard is set up makes more sense than the previous versions and just pushing down on the keys is easier than the previous two versions. The backlight works well, but for me it isn't really an issue. I don't usually need a backlight. The 2170 seems durable, but only time will tell. The instructions seem to be better than the instructions that came with the two previous models but I can't say with certainty because I've never been one to read directions unless I have to(I usually just fool around until I figure things out), but at a glance, they are definitely more comprehensive than the small one page abreviated instructions that came with the other two models. So to sum it up, this dictionary basically has the same data inside it as the two previous models (from what I can tell), but delivers it to you in a much more thought out and user friendly way. Whether it is worth the full price being charged for it depends on why you are purchasing it I suppose. If you aren't very serious about learning another language, or money is an issue for you, you might want to go with less expensive model. If you're going to use the dictionary alot and ease of use is important to you then I would shell out the money for this model. I am a serious learner of the spanish language and I agonized over finding the best electronic spanish english dictionary I could find for quite a while, and with this one, it seems that I have finally found it. Anyway, I hope this will help others who find themselves in the same position to make the decision for themselves. ... show more

  • First rate except for one thing
This is my second Franklin Spanish-English dictionary. It is the best of those I have used and are useful in both classes and in Centro-and South America. This is the most complete dictionary of this kind and I have no interest in changing to another dictionary. That said, two criticisms: When you turn it on your first choice is a comprehensive ENGLISH WORD DICTIONARY. I didn't buy this dictionary to be given my first choice and English Word Dictionary. Me prefiero un dicionario en ingles y espanol solamente. So it is necessary to scroll down to select either English or Spanish word translations. Second, some of the verb conjugations are incomplete so you're left to wonder or get a verb conjugation dictionary (Note: Barrons has a wonderful pocket size verb dictionary of 300 common verbs with COMPLETE conjugations. This means you don't have to lug around the "2000 Verb" books that weigh 10 pounds or so.) Also, although a minor complaint is some of the definitions are incomplete. IMHO: Best electronic dictionary on the market. ... show more

  • Works and easy
Got the BES 2170 Spanish English electronic dictionary shipped quickly. Product is like the condition stated as used but "like new", of course it has an easy so visible scratch but it's ok shiny and not worn out of shape, and I know what I want. I am glad I saved money by my gamble buying this one instead of buying a new one BES 2100 which is about $ 15 more. This Spanish English dictionary works, sometimes speaking Spanish with man and woman voice alternately (no computer voice). It seems easy to use. After turning it on, you have a list of dictionaries, including an English, you move the cursor to choose a dictionary and enter (type) the word and press enter. It displays the meaning of the word quickly. If you want a voice then press the speaker button. I have not test others but another family member tested it and saying other ... worked. I don't know much to say that it is a perfect 5 stars product in comparison with others but it is 5 for me. Thanks. ... show more
