What can I say?
There's really not much you can say about a calculator. Either it has buttons and a display that you like, along with functions you need, or it doesn't.
This one's claim to fame is the fact that it's made from recycled Canon products, which is frankly irrelevant to me. It's relevant to my daughter though, so she's very happy. As for usage, it's actually really great. I love the tax calculation functions and we use it to do off the cuff totals at our store without having to deal with our point-of-sale software. Buttons are big and have good action, display is large and easy to read.
I wouldn't pay more for it because of the recycled aspect, but it's actually a great product and I'm very happy with it.
Basic calculator, built to last
An easy to operate calculator. All basic except for the 'TAX' keys. We've used it with our kids while teaching them 5th-6th grade math as their first calculator so that they won't be overwhelmed by the many keys and symbols found on the scientific or financial calculators. By 7th grade, they needed a 'scientific' calculator upgrade but we knew that beforehand.
Positives:
- Solar (it's really LIGHT) powered
- Large keys
- Large display
- Simple operation
- Easy TAX computations
- Solidly built
Negatives:
Can't think of any. It does what it's supposed to do, which is simple computations, the easy way.
Rating: it gets a perfect score because it does what is expected of it well and it gets extra credit for the large keys and large display.
Yeah! I can actually see it.
Great quality at a great price. Best of all my old eyes can actually see the numbers. I keep it next to the phone. I hate to do long division in my head while I'm on the phone. Heck I hate it all the time.
