Sharp El-1501 Compact Cordless Paperless Large 12-Digit Display Desktop Printing Calculator That Utilizes Printing Calculator Logic

great product

PRO's --- I am most comfortable using my left hand for speedy entries as my right hand is busy on a computer or holding a pen. This calculator works especially well for left hand fast addition for accounting plus so many other functions. The dual LCD is terrific and clear with the upper screen able to record 300 entries and display them in history with forward and back buttons for double checking your work. The keys are comfortable to use and the size and layout is much like older best designs of Sharp Calculators. Cons --- Had a difficult time finding the info about how the 2nd button works as a function key that gives many keys a 2nd function. The instruction sheet is crazy tiny. I downloaded the PDF from the Sharp Website but still found it difficult to find specific details. For instance, it can turn itself off over time if unused but if you want to turn it off you need to hit a combination of the 2nd key and the C key together. That was buried somewhere unexpected in the instructions. Other than that the keys are a little sloppy with movement but accurate with good location feel non-the-less and I might opt for a slight design placement of keys due to my use of older Sharp calculators. Sharp needs to improve their instructions and especially separate the English language page from Spanish. Overall I'm significantly impressed keeping 5 stars for a great Sharp innovative product.

This is such a ingenious calculator I wish I had purchased it many years ago. The LED panel displays each operation as entered on the keyboard come up without the need for irritating paper and in noises or disposable items. The keys are easy and comfortable to press. And on top of everything, it only uses two batteries and shuts itself off after maybe 10 seconds so LED functionality lasts almost forever. So this is a bit expensive as a calculator. But I use it multiple times every single day and consider it to be worth its while. Very nice engineering!

This calculator is exactly what I was looking for, it's solidly built, the screen lights up and the keys have a great "clickability". Very happy with this purchase

Does not work in the same manner as other calculators. No instructions. Does not calculate correctly
