I keep this at my desk and it's a great tool for anyone needing a quick calculator for the small financial tasks. I use mine all of the time, especially at the computer!

I have had this calculator since 1991. I use it alot and I have had it in my car since the day I bought it. I purchased several more to keep in my office and around the house. I especially like the big numbers for easy reading and the the big keys spaced far apart so you don't have many missed entries. You can buy alot of cheap calculators but none so easy to use and so long lasting.

The buttons and display on this calculator make it easy to use, but the size of the actual unit is nice and portable and doesn't take up too much room.

Someone asked about setting the tax rate: Hold "SET" down until SET appears on display. Press "TAX+". Enter desired tax rate (i.e. 8.75). Press "SET" again to save. You can recall the set tax rate by pressing the "TAX+" button once.

This calculator is very good. It is very durable (i have dropped it and kicked it still works great. It uses solar power but has a battery for backup inside which i have never has to replace. The button are nice and big along with the screen. Its easy to read and the screen has a small tilt which is great when using on a desk. I love this little calculator!

I have used mine for years too. It's big and easy to use. My buying point was that it was big. I didn't like looking around my desk for itty bitty calculators so I got the biggest one I could find, which was this one. I'd get a bigger model if they sold it. I've used Casio ever since I was a kid and I love their products. They are very well made, the buttons don't stick. This one has a big display and big buttons and has stood all kinds of abuse on my desk for about 10 years. I highly recommend this and other Casio calculators.

We have this type of calculator at the store where I work and I just love it and it has always been very reliable. I finally decided to buy one for my own use at home and I love it !! It is great that it will also add the sales tax in for you so you can figure out your online purchases in advance.

I have used this every day for ten years, it is the best calculator I have every owned. I can hardly function on any other kind

I own several other models of portable accounting calculators. This seems to have the best combination of functions for a highly portable calculator.
It is large enough that you can still 10-key (barely), but small enough that it is very portable. If I were going to have a calculator permanently at my desk, I'd buy one with a larger face (easier to 10-key with).
The +/- function is very handy. Many other accounting calculators come with a square root function instead. ??
I've never had to take the square root of a number during accounting.
I own model MS-80TV. I guess the latest model is MS-80TE. ?
They look almost exactly the same.
I like it so much I'm buying another.

About 20 years ago, I had a small hand-held calculator and it gave out. A lady friend gave me a small Casio Electronic Desktop Calculator (Model MS-70L) as a replacement. What an amazing little instrument! I'm still using it and it's still in excellent shape. I've never had a bit of trouble.

Well, I guess my model is no longer manufactured and it's been replaced by somewhat more advanced models. However, this model (MS-80TV) closely resembles mine in many ways and has about the same capabilities. If my calculator ever does go kaput, I wouldn't hesitate to replace it with another Casio, that's for sure, and this model would be a prime candidate.

The rating I'm giving is for my old Model MS-70L. I just couldn't be any more satisfied. Hopefully, this newer model will be as satisfactory.

This is a good calculator, once you understand how to use it. The keystrokes are a bit unconventional. Some of the documentation is on the back of the packaging which is escential to understanding the 'TAX' key. The pamplet inside only gives a few examples of calculations- no explanations. A Google search of forums on this calculator reviels some disgruntled users, though its easy to see that they didn't read what little material there is on it's functions. In the end, it does what I want it to, but Casio needs to present a decent product more effectively.
