Texas Instruments TI1795SV Solar Calculator

All new and in great packaging. Also cheaper than every where else. Will buy again!

Nice calculator with large numbers,very easy to read. A little bigger then I expected. It is solar which makes it a real plus.

I've been using these at work for years, and everybody keeps stealing them from me because they are great. They're great desk calculators with big numbers for quick, easy, and accurate entry and a -/+ key for entering negative numbers. Can't believe I'm writing a review for a calculator, but I really LOVE these.

This is a great calculator for any basic function. first saw it at my local bank. I liked it so much I had to have one of my own. It does not have a lot of bells and whistles but it does have a neat little tax rate function where you can enter any % and it will hold it into memory. I may purchase a second one in fear that it will go away at some point.

It is dual powered and I never had a problem with the display in any type of lighting condition.

It is well built and the keys are really responsive, resulting in near flawless entry everytime.

for a simple everyay desktop calculator, this one is a winner !

Has it all for basic daily work, with easy to read numerals with commas. Nice touch on the key pads.

I bought this calculator because it is an updated version of a model I've used in my office (and now in my home office) for about 10-15 years. My wife recently discovered it and I got tired of retrieving it, so I got her this one. Its got the same big display as my old one and even bigger keys. Great. But it has one new feature which is a definite downgrade - it's missing two feet. My old one has four rubber feet and it stays on the desk where you plant it. This one has two feet on the bottom edge and the thing skates around all over the place when you punch the keys - especially when you stroke them as rapidly as she does. It's a very good and dependable instrument and when I find a couple of rubber feet to stick on it, it'll be just a little bit less "improved" and as good as my old one.

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?

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 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.

In the spring of 2000 I went to Peru to help a rural commumity build a school for the local children. Needless to say, they had almost nothing in the way of school supplies. I bought a number of these solar calculators to donate to the new school. I chose the TI1795SV because the large display and large buttons. The children and teachers did not need a complex calculator but more than just plus and minus; so this one fit the bill just right. Also, because this community is poor and has limited access to technology the solar cells of the calculator will keep it up and running even if the battery were to lose power. It was a little bulky to carry 20 of these to Peru but well worth the looks on their faces when I donated them. All-in-all a worthwhile investment!
