This is a great little calculator. It's small, lightweight, and has a small solar cell, so it's efficiently powered. The buttons are a good size. The only problem I have with it is the plus button (which I don't use all that often for my purposes) is in the spot the equal button usually is on most calculators. I'm constantly pushing the plus button instead of the equal button because of it. It's rarely a problem and only mildly annoying, but it's something to think about if you're considering buying this model.

This thing works great and you cant beat the price. Numbers are nice and large so you can see them. Buttons are in the right places with no trouble hitting just one (good spacing). Very handy to have around. Good quality from a name brand. Will be buying another one soon.

Update Feb 4, 2009: Still going strong and use all the time

If you need a basic calculator at a nice price, this is it. The display is sharp. The numbers are large which contributes to readability. The buttons are also large for this size calculator making data entry a breeze. This vendor provided fast/accurate service and I would do business with it again and recommend it to others. Happy calculating!

Something previous reviewers failed to mention is that every calculation returns accurate results!

I spent hours trying different functions and values, checking each time by hand. No matter what I did, the calculator was correct. Even the few times I didn't match the Sharp's answer, after double checking, I found that it was me that was wrong.

Buy with confidence.

Be aware - the size of this calculator is 4 1/8" x 2 3/8" - it's not as large as they say in the description. I was disappointed as I was trying to replace a lost calculator of a larger size. 5 Stars for how it works - 1 star for size problem as listed on Amazon. Hence 3 stars!

I like it because its small enough to carry with you but I can fat finger the buttons when I try to use it with gloves on.
