Casio MS-80TE Scientific Calculator

Pros: large buttons, easy-to-read LCD display with large numbers, solar with battery-backup power
Cons: no "00", square root, or backspace keys

A co-worker is spending two glorious weeks in Italy beneath the Tuscan sun. Instead of taking me with her, she left me with all her work. Is that fair? Since I can’t have the Tuscan sun, I’m basking in the glow of my co-worker’s Casio ...

Pros: It actually works.
Cons: It breaks after a few years.

This product is a Casio Scientific Calculator. It really works. MY HOUSEHOLD: My daughter is going into sixth grade in the fall and is beginning to need a calculator for school and homework. In my house we use Casio. We have had it for about five ...

Pros: Nice big keys
Cons: Rough on the index finger

The problem with the purchase of a new calculator is that they're all so complicated these days. You can even buy ones that will draw graphs for you, what's wrong with a bit of graph paper? Now, it's all very well and good to have a calculator that can, say, map the orbit of the moon around the earth, but is it really necessary? It merely adds further buttons and sub-buttons, it can leave you thinking I just wanted to sum up the shopping list not solve world hunger.

This calculator will not cause such problems. Nice big easy to access keys, and a simple interface. You won't find anything more complicated than a M+ key, superb. The LED on this gem is also delightful, not a pixel missing!

In summary this calculator should be re-named: "bog-standard-no-nonsence-simple-calc".

***** - well earned, congratulations Casio.

Pros: BIG LCD readout. Big keys. Simple entry method. Battery life incredible
Cons: No paperless tape.

This is the best little desktop paperless calculator I have ever used. If you are tired of the old "adding machine" calculators this is the unit for you.
You enter the math calculation just as you would speak the math calculation. It seems to do everything just as I want it to. It doesn't seem to have a mind of it's own.
The internal battery in the one I have has NEVER had to be replaced yet and I have had this thing for many years. I use it in my business at my retail counter. I guess the solar cells keep it going so long.

This model is not for math/science students but more for home and business. It has % and square root and thats it for "algebra".

It works exactly as it did when new. The tilted readout with the large digits is very convenient and easy to read.

I love this simple calculator...I am going to order another one right now!
