 Makes math fun. October 8, 2008
Anne D. Watters (Missouri, USA)
My old calculator's number lights went out--3 or 8, 1 or 7, 4 or 9? But I liked it's size and shape so I searched for a similar one. This is almost the same except--much better!! The keys and numbers are larger, it has more operations, and does a neat trick: the first number and operation entered become a temporary constant. Like 2+2=4; 3=5; 4=6. Well worth the mere $15 to get it to my door. Made me glad the old one broke!

If you need a calculator that prints, this is not the calculator for you. However, if you need a handy sized, easy to read, solar calculator...this is a good one. It does everything that I want a calculator to do at work. It can figure %. I never use these features, but it can figure tax rates and has memory (mrc, m-, m+). The buttons are big enough. I would buy this model again.
Tough Little Calculator! (Style has changed - see photo) February 17, 2008

I'm SO happy to see they still make this model calculator! I've had mine for about ten years now and use it daily and it finally died today. I've used it so much I wore the paint off of the point key, and pulled it out tonight to check something and the plus key (finally) stopped working. This is an awesome and very tough little calculator, the display is nice and big and very easy to read in even low light (and I have poor vision), it's lightweight and I can easily throw it in the drawer without worrying about it getting damaged, but it's not so light you can't pound away on it without it slipping around (and it has two little rubber feet to keep it in place). And it's completely solar, no batteries to worry with. I just ordered another one tonight, and I'm so glad I don't have to get used to a different one (I key very fast and it keeps up with me), here's hoping my new one lasts another ten years :-)
Update - I just got this in the mail today and FYI the style number is the same but the design has changed (see photo comparisons above, the Amazon stock photo is incorrect). The new one is bigger and rounder, about a half inch wider and longer. It's also thicker and the key pad is 'ergonomically' rounded, which makes it a longer reach for short fingers. The buttons are a little bigger and there is an extra row of three at the top (rate, tax+, tax-) that I don't need. So it will take a little getting used to, I wish it was still the smaller size, but the display is still big and easy to read and the keys are quick.

We were looking for a calculator that was large enough to actually use our fingers instead of some kind of pointer to hit the keys with. Seems like most were either too small or jumbo size (way too large) This one was just right and at a good price too.

I PURCHASED THIS ITEM IN JULY AND THE NUMBER 9 IS FROZEN IN THE WINDOW.
I CAN NOT ENTER ANY NUMBERS OR DELETE THE #9. HOW DO I RETURN THIS ITEM?
