This unit performs exactly as anticipated. It has a large bright display, and a simple, friendly user interface that makes using it a pleasure. The function is intuitive enough that a manual is almost unnecessary.The slender profile and light weight make it easy to carry or store if the need arises.
All in all I would rate this as a highly price effective unit.
