handy calculator [Posted on 2007-04-01]
I bought 2 of these calculators to take to some of my relatives in the Philippines. They live in a small farming village in rural northeastern Luzon. It's a jungle environment that has no utilities and the closest thing to a shop is a 3 hour jeep ride away. My relatives wanted some calculators for when they took their corn and banana crops to the buyers in town, so they could quickly figure if they were getting a fair deal for their stuff. The TI1795SV can handle the rough environment, with all the dust, dirt, and getting dropped & whatnot. It would be perfect if it was waterproof (it's not) but my relatives are being careful to carry the calculators in Ziplocs (amazing you can buy Ziplocs in the jungle but no batteries) during typhoons and not drop them in the river.
Great basic calculator [Posted on 2007-07-10]
I've had mine for 4 years now and use it almost daily. Never had any problems with it even after a few drops to the carpeted floor. Large easy to read keys with a nice feel, not too hard - not too soft. Large easy to read display. All in all, good calculator for everyday basic functions.

I PURCHASED THIS ITEM IN JULY AND THE NUMBER 9 IS FROZEN IN THE WINDOW.
I CAN NOT ENTER ANY NUMBERS OR DELETE THE #9. HOW DO I RETURN THIS ITEM?
Perfect calculator [Posted on 2007-12-28]
We were looking for a calculator that was large enough to actually use our fingers instead of some kind of pointer to hit the keys with. Seems like most were either too small or jumbo size (way too large) This one was just right and at a good price too.
Tough Little Calculator! (Style has changed - see photo) [Posted on 2008-02-17]
I'm SO happy to see they still make this model calculator! I've had mine for about ten years now and use it daily and it finally died today. I've used it so much I wore the paint off of the point key, and pulled it out tonight to check something and the plus key (finally) stopped working. This is an awesome and very tough little calculator, the display is nice and big and very easy to read in even low light (and I have poor vision), it's lightweight and I can easily throw it in the drawer without worrying about it getting damaged, but it's not so light you can't pound away on it without it slipping around (and it has two little rubber feet to keep it in place). And it's completely solar, no batteries to worry with. I just ordered another one tonight, and I'm so glad I don't have to get used to a different one (I key very fast and it keeps up with me), here's hoping my new one lasts another ten years :-)
Update - I just got this in the mail today and FYI the style number is the same but the design has changed (see photo comparisons above, the Amazon stock photo is incorrect). The new one is bigger and rounder, about a half inch wider and longer. It's also thicker and the key pad is 'ergonomically' rounded, which makes it a longer reach for short fingers. The buttons are a little bigger and there is an extra row of three at the top (rate, tax+, tax-) that I don't need. So it will take a little getting used to, I wish it was still the smaller size, but the display is still big and easy to read and the keys are quick.
