Customer Reviews:

Always liked having an adding machine on my desk [Posted on 2007-04-08]
I can't explain why, but I've always been fascinated by these machines. Well, fascination may be a bit strong, but I've liked them and usually kept one handy when I could. Most of them were handed down to me by my Dad (starting when I was young, with a real old clunker from his work that was fun to play with), who's also sort of a junkie in this area. I even tried the tapeless model once and hated it.

While I'm not sure I even use the machine enough to justify this exact model, I recently bought a lower level Canon machine and didn't like it. The machine worked fine, but the printing was so slow, it was painful. Not that I'm THAT impatient, but it was just irritating, given my experience with these machines. The printing on this machine is pretty fast. It may be outclassed by the higher end ones, but this is sufficient for 90% or more of you out there. It prints negative in red, has the item list (gives a line total of what you added for easy averaging), and has the clock and date feature which is cool if you need a dated paper trail. Plus, the tape load is the best I've ever seen. Took a few seconds even when I don't think I put it in there straight.

I bought this machine (or an earlier model) several years ago for an organization I was a director of. I used it there and like it a lot. After leaving the organization, I've made due with a smaller solar calculator. Part of the reason, I think, is my desk wasn't clear enough to put a machine on there. Good old Dad gave me one of his, but the printing got screwed up on it, making it useless. So, after buying the cheaper model discussed above, I took it back and got this one, knowing it would function with all the horsepower I need. It does.

This calculator is essentially the same as one we bought five years ago and loved .. if repair work wasn't so expensive, we'd still have it, as it was working fine except for the on-off switch. And in our house, the calculator gets moved (and sometimes dropped) a lot.
