Sharp Electronics EL243SB 8-Digit Twin Power Hard Cover Handheld Calculator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The best thing about this calculator is that it's got a cover that latches.No, it doesn't lock, but that little hard-plastic door closes over the keypad, so when I toss it into my briefcase and head out, I don't have to worry about damage to the keypad, or the thing being turned on and staying on as a stray pen or something just keeps pushing its buttons.The main power source is light, but it's got a simple battery backup, the batteries being accessible when you pull two small philips-head screws from the back of the case.

This thing is small and mobile, and is perfect for my mobile business needs.I'm not going to be plotting spacecraft trajectories or formulating amino acid degradations today, so I don't need anything more than the basic arithmetic functions it offers (as well as %, square root and basic memory functions).

The buttons are just the right size, not so big that I feel like this thing is a learning toy for a 2 year old, or has been made for the myopic over-70 set.The buttons are big enough that I can quickly tap out my work without mashing down multiple buttons.

To conclude, if you want a small calc you can tote with you and that will not let you down by running out of power, this is the one.If you're after a reliable little machine to crank out your daily checkbook totals or to tally up the pro-rating on your timesheet entries, then this is the one you want.Recommend.
