Hmm... June 30, 2009 B 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Works fine, great price, but too small. You don't realize a small calculator is annoying until you have one.
not bad at all--despite a couple of minor flaws June 19, 2009 Matthew G. Sherwin (last seen screaming at Amazon customer service) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Canon makes a fine small pocket calculator that I trust. I understand, of course, that some people will want this for the same reasons I wanted it while other people would never be satisfied with this calculator. Therefore, here are the pros and cons of this calculator:
PROS:
1) It can use either solar power or battery power.
2) The keys are pretty much the right size.
3) The numbers on the screen are relatively easy to read and it's got a memory feature.
4) The calculator comes with a "function card." This will help you or refresh your memory as to how to use this calculator to its maximum potential.
5) This product is relatively inexpensive; this is perfect for anyone who wants an affordable pocket calculator.
6) The display is angled toward the viewer's eyes so it's easy to read the display--and the display doesn't even need full brightness in order for you to read it!
CONS:
1) It doesn't have features that a statistician would want. If you want to use this for matrix and vector calculations, you're flat out of luck. Get a scientific calculator instead.
2) The change sign button is very difficult to even notice--it's on the "%" button!
3) The three key limit on the memory function may frustrate people.
Overall, this calculator is perfect for anyone who wants a regular, reliable and inexpensive calculator just to do basic functions. Again, statisticians and other people will not be satisfied with this; but I was pleased overall. It's a great calculator for most people; and so I'll give this a four star review.
Small calculator as the size of a standard wallet April 29, 2009 Kei Wong (usa) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you are looking for an office-size calculator like I do, this product is NOT for you.
Not what I expected October 14, 2008 Canuck (Los Angeles, CA) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Let's face it...it's only a calculator! However, for the price I thought I might get a little bigger and better quality. The buttons have a cheap feel and the size is smaller than your typical desk calculator. If you really don't care then just get it...it's only $10, but if you want a little better for your money then shop your local office supply store.
Great Calculator October 12, 2008 Michael D. Aldridge 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Even though the calculator fits in the palm of your hand I find it easier to use than some of the larger ones. Highly reccommended.
