Many other reviewers have already made the point, I can only affirm it. For the price, it's a great calculator but the instructions are awful and very difficult to follow. I ended up spending $12 after the fact for replacement ink cartridges because not only are the directions/illustrations unclear about how to install the ink cartridge, but if one is not careful, the cartridge slips out of your fingers and easily becomes irretrievably lost inside the guts of the calculator. (I can hear it rattling around in there, but cannot get it out.) Be warned, local supply stores' listing of replacement cartridges will not have this model listed in their stores, so be sure to ask and make sure that you get the proper replacement cartridge (the HR 100 is NOT the same as the HR 100TM; I learned the hard way.)

For the money, and for general office use, this is a great printing calculator. I have owned a number of Canon and Casio printing calculators but I think I've found the best one to date with this Casio model. I am especially appreciative of the extra-large digital display.

this calculator replaces a very old calculator that had died. This one is easy to use and has many options whether to print or not to print and is relatively quiet during operation.

I bought this calculator because my elderly mother wanted one that prints a tape. I was very pleased and surprised to receive the product within 2-3 days because I purchased it just one week before Christmas. The biggest negative for me is that the only instructions are very difficult to read and comprehend, and do not address basic usage - such as inclusion of something identifying the purpose of each of the keys and examples of simple mathematical functions. Accountants are not the only people who want to calculate with a paper tape; elderly people and less skilled users also want this feature.

If you currently use a non-printing calculator it will take a bit of time to get use to this printing calculator. You cannot do simple math eg. 100-10=90. With a printing calculator you must make entries like this if you need to subtract an equation eg. 100+ then type 10 minus to get the answer of 90. Its strange to explain if you are not familiar with a printing calculator. For those who are I hope I explained correctly. Other than that, its a great product.

This item is easy to use, and very handy for all my needs, from simple to complicated problems. I love the fact that it prints out in two colors, quite quickly.

This is a very good calculator - uses batteries also has a cord for plug-in. Its keyboard arrangement has changed very little; so it is familiar to me and I can use it easily. I am very pleased.

If you only want an adding machine, this unit is overkill. You need to know a little math in order to appreciate the extra features it has. However, if you need a calculator to do tax computations, etc., I think it's OK for the job.

Love it. Nice size and stability. Great large numbers on screen. Good key placement. I particularly like the addition/subtraction entry system: 5+ 6- = -1

I replaced my old adding machine with this compact & light one. So far I am greatly satisfied with this purchase. Operates with batteries too for easy portability. Very nice machine and I recommend it for personal/home use.
