SHARPEL233SB Standard Function Calculator

I bought my first ElsiMate in 1993. Sometime in 2018 I started to worry that the battery might run out, so I bought a replacement. Sure enough, the battery ran out in late 2019 after lasting a mere 26 years, actually closer to 27.During those 27 years, I used the ElsiMate a lot, maybe not every day, but certainly several times a week, mostly to crunch money numbers. Never even came close to failing, never had the slightest problem. Worked faithfully, year after year, decade after decade. I intend to replace the battery. Meanwhile I have my brand-new ElsiMate, which worked perfectly out of the box of course.If you want a simple calculator to do simple numbers, and never have to worry about it breaking or running out of battery for a loooooong time, this is it. Highly recommended.Update: March 2020. It looked like the battery had run out, but the calculator started working again and worked for several more months. Finally it started giving unusual display results. I replaced the battery but it had no effect, so it must have been the LCD monitor that conked out, not the battery. So, after 27 years, the calculator has finally given out, but believe it or not the original battery still has juice, it's the display that finally stopped working. I would say I got good value!

This is a fine little calculator to keep handy in your office or car.

I bought a box of these cheap calculators for the final exam of my statistical course, because my students wanted to have a small calculator. Most calculators come with preprogrammed things, and I wanted to avoid having them show me nothing was stored in memory. So I simply purchased these for that class, so they had a calculator, and I knew it was so basic nothing could be stored. I left them in the original packaging as they come with batteries, and that way, I could show them it was covid-proof. I will be reusing these once they are disinfected at our university. The buttons pressed fine, you can read the screen, and it has basic calculations. I did not need anything more.

I thought it was going to be a lil bigger.,. Lost it already.

Easy to read screen and easy to use buttons. Great basic calculator

I must say this calculator was way smaller than I expected it to be. Great for maybe kids in elementary school but for an adult it’s way too small. I needed to purchase a calculator for a state exam and I wanted something that I didn’t have to have trouble using or seeing the numbers. For me it had al the basic functions I needed but the size and small screen I didn’t like too much. But for the price I guess I can’t complain too much.

This little calculator was purchased at the first part of 2012 and is still going strong. I usually keep a solar calculator by my chair which I've had at least 20 years and although it looks beat up, is in fact still going strong. But I wanted a battery hand held one that I didn't have to turn on the light to use. What a nice choice I made with this Sharp and so very cheap.....costing, so far, less than $1.50 a year to use! Yes, the numbers are little and rubbery but hey, cheap and reliable is what I wanted and that is what I got. I couldn't ask for a better hand held for this low price. Reliable, durable, well made and cheap!

My husband really likes this, easy to use and big enough to see

Compacta y hace lo necesario, ideal para cargar

You can do better by shopping in store. I was a bit disappointed.

I bought this calculator after my dollar store brand died after about 16 years so I am really hoping this Sharp brand will do the same for me. It's nice and small, fits into my palm nicely. The screen is a good size for easy reading. Paid $7 which is no problem. Buttons are a good size too.

This calculator is really small (probably my fault for not reading dimensions) I bought it to use at work and it's too small for the tasks I bought it for unfortunately.

Pratique calculatrice de base pour calculs de tous les jours.
