Solar powered: reliable in light, durable, easy to read

This calculator is like it's predecessor with only a solar powered battery no batteries to leak. It is what I have called a four function calculator but it can actually do a few things more. It will do the simple math I needed it for to check columns of additions and subtractions. Turn on a light and it will work. Funny thing is my predecessor calculator probably over 25 years old with the same number was stuffed in a box and probably had a button or two pressed. When I took it out into the light it did not initially work which is the reason I purchased this new one but sitting a while in the light it started functioning again. I guess my comment is go figure...again. Durable, simple, reliable, easy to readVer más

new style keyboard takes a little getting used to

This model has been redesigned with a new ergonomic keyboard (keys are in curved layout) which takes a little getting used to, but works great.The new version of this model also features 3 new keys. [rate], [Tax+], and [Tax-].The setting of tax rate, the +tax function, the tax- function, and the 'recall tax rate' function are nice bonus features. Many times I have customers ask 'what will be the price after tax?' and 'what is the tax rate here?'. Both of those will be very handy for those situations. Of course, it requires programming the tax rate in the first place, but that's no big deal.Tip - in faint print above the tax+ and tax- buttons are the words "store" and "recall". That is how you set and recall the tax rates.To set tax rate, type in the tax rate then press the tax+/store button.E.g. if tax rate is 8.33% you will press:8.33 [Rate] [Tax+]To see total after tax is applied, simply key in the amount and press [Tax+]E.g.: 110 [Tax+]To view the tax rate that is programmed into calculator, press[Rate] [Tax-]If you have haggled with customer on price and want to let customer purchase item for, say, $150 after tax, key in:150 [Tax-]. This will tell you the amount to enter into the cash register (since the cash register will add the sales tax to the ticket).Of course, you will have to use 5/4 rounding when entering in the price that you were given when using the [Tax-]For example, if the tax rate is 8.33% and you enter in 150 [Tax-] it will say the pre-tax amount is 138.465. You will need to put in register 138.47. This will give you a total sale amount of 150.00For percentage calculations, you do not press the =. For example, if you want to see what $100 - 60% is, you would key in:100 - 60 [%] and as soon as you press [%] the display shows 40.If you press the = button after pressing 100 - 60 [%], instead of showing you what 100-60% is, it shows you the amount it subtracted to arrive at the total (in this case, 100-60% is 40, so pressing 100 - 60 [%] displays -40).Of course, you could also do it the alternate way by multiplying 100*0.4= (since you want to see what 40% of 100 is equal to, but some people find that too complicated).Ver más

W O R T H....A....S E C O N D....L O O K....A N D... T H O U G H T

This review is for the SECOND version of this calculator, the slightly-larger, grey, BLACK and white model, with a rounded "mound" housing the keypad. I had actually ordered the older model -- the light-grey model, with the blue and white keys, slightly smaller, which I had had previously, but sadly lost. I had considered returning this newer model, but finally decided against it, as it is now listed as being discontinued by the manufacturer, so -- if I returned the newer one I did get, I very well might have gotten the same model back..........I was, at first, extremely disappointed in the newer model. (Why both the newer model and the older model -- which look COMPLETELY DIFFERENT -- have the VERY SAME MODEL NUMBER is completely beyond me. I mean, people who work at Texas Instruments are supposed to be very intelligent and know what they are doing....but why they decided to give to truly different calculators the same model number is something I don't think I'll ever understand. I mean...what kind of "genuis" makes this very simple mistake? (one who wants to fool online and catalogue buyers, who have to trust that the packers will pack the right model, perhaps>)That said, this NEWER model -- though larger and more-than-slightly bulkier than the older one -- does have a few advantages....I think.I don't remember the older model having a "tax+" or "tax-" or "rate" key, nor do I remember it having a battery backup, as the newer model does.This newer model has a nice little compartment for the battery, which need only be opened with a single screw. So, the entire back of the calculator need not be taken off -- with the slight dangers, therein, of getting dust into the machine, or disturbing the delicate circuitry, in the half a minute or so, that it takes to change the battery. With a neat little separate oompartment for the battery changing, the rest of the back of the machine need not be disturbed at all!This is all the more important, as more and more calculators, sadly, are made with "no user-replaceable batteries" enclosed, (no -- one is instructed, in these other, still newer calculators, to take them to the nearest authorized repair shop, of the designated manufacturer -- and have them replaced there, like wrist-watch batteries! First wrist-watches, now calculators! Talk about planned obsolence! (Buy even this newer model 1795SV, and keep it close!)Although the newer model 1795sv has a "wrap-around, windshield" numberical display, (instead of what is to me, the far more esthetically pleasing and clearer, "picture-frame" numberical display, found in the older model 1795sv), the numbers still are well-spaced and clear to view. It also has the nice, l a r g e numberic display, which is not only on this newer model 1795SV, but also on the older model 1795SV.....and also on the belated, dearly loved, and sadly lost original Texas Instrument "1795" model, (no "sv"), which I once had, and enjoyed more than both of the "1795sv" models put together! (It was small, handy, and a beautiful medium-bone-yellow in colour. It also seemed to stay on FOREVER -- pr at least an hour or so, if I remember correctly. Oh, that Texas Instruments would bring THAT model back, sigh!)Well, this NEW m0del 1795SV -- though NOT the older, handier model 1795SV, nor the original model 1795 -- still has many good points, most of which are delineated above. It is also a desk-top model which can be carried in a pocket-book, if necessary -- and also in a briefcase, but not in a wallet. It is bigger than the two previous models in the Texas Instrument 1795 line...but does have that priceless customer-replacable battery chamber. Although I do prefer the previous two models, this newer one, now available, is not a bad little calculator, all things considered.But I would still welcome, (greatly!), the return of the original 1795 model, and/or the original 1795sv.
