Enamorado

Everything I dreamed it would be. Life changing.

Valentine arrived and I love it. It’s everything I expected.

I collect typewriters and one of my favorites, aesthetically, is the Olivetti Valentine. When I saw Freewrite was making on ode to it, I knew I’d end up picking it up and I’m glad I did. I’ve had a Freewrite and this one functions just the same but with a better color scheme, at least to someone who likes bolder colors, and a more pleasing font. But I feel like the biggest evolution here is the case. I have the cache case they used to sale but it always felt unwieldy to carry what amounts to a brief case in modern times but the Valentine case solves that. The case feels much better to take around if you want to write away from your home desk, the strap is wide enough the weight is evenly disbursed so there’s not pressure point or shoulder fatigue and it holds the Freewrite so snugly you don’t need to worry about it banging around you move.

I am a writer and I really wanted to know how well the “Valentine” would work toward my not being interrupted etc. while I’m writing.
Well, I absolutely love my “Valentine”….never to part.
It has a very comfortable feel to it and sends work off very quickly which truly impressed me. I would recommend it to anyone who seriously wants to work uninterrupted.

I was on the early wait list for a "Valentine" for quite a while. I'd been wanting a Smart Typewriter, but unsure which to choose (ie. Hemingwrite or Standard or a special run). I went back to the website time and time again, about to pull the trigger - then Valentine showed up as a pre-order. It was meant to be! Now that I have it, I can honestly say it was worth the wait :)
