Victor1530-6 10 Digit Professional Grade Heavy Duty Commercial Printing Calculator

I worked as an accounting clerk for over 22 years and I never heard of this brand before. I recall using Sharp. I liked that the other reviewers said they've used this brand for a very long time. I'm retired now but still have an occasional need to add up some numbers when I file my income tax returns. I like the key action. This machine feels real solidly made. I also like that it has a ribbon. I had a machine with one of those ink rollers one time and the ink roller dried out. So I got a bottle of ink and thought I'd just ink up the roller myself. My recommendation is to just get a machine with a ribbon and then just change the ribbon as needed. Buy once and buy right.

We were familiar with the VICTOR adding Machine, it is a good professional tool for a CPA

Bought theses for my husbands office. He absolutely loves them! Easy to use and read! Will be buying more!

Seriously, do people read these? It's a calculator people it can add, subtract, divide, multiply and spits out tape if you want it to...just to prove to people you are not randomly smashing keys and giving them fake numbers. Yes it is comfortable to use, but I would think if it was more painful to operate then actually HAVING to use a calculator on a daily basis that no one would ever use one in general. It's not overly loud, it makes great calculator calculating noises which most people treat as white noise and don't even register as hearing. If it made BEE-DO BEE-DO sounds more office violence would occur world wide. Oh you DO plug it in just in-case some person is wanting to walk around with a dinner-plate sized calculator you can not do that with this. So 5 stars for doing the thing that it's designed to do well but not having the ability to play games on it like the calculator I needed in high-school (which by the way I NEVER needed a graphic calculator in the "real word" Mrs Johnson so you can just suck it).

Best 10 Key Calculator I've ever purchased. I have used Sharp, Texas Instruments, and my last one, a Victor 1260-3 over the past 35 plus years and they have all been commercial units with ribbon. The 1260-3 was a good calculator except there were many times when I tore the paper off, the paper would jam the next time it advanced. Others have experienced the same issue. This calculator costs more, is a little bigger, and the keys may echo a little louder, but I have finally found my favorite calculator for 10 keying numbers. It is not really huge physically as were some TI's in my past. I remember having Victors in school way back in the late 70's and they were great then. You don't see Victors at office supply places and I thought they went out of business or bought out by another company until I came across them on Amazon. I love this calculator. Also, this has an actual on/off rocker switch on the side unlike many that requires you to slide the small slider below the display. The display is very decent size and nice and bright. Key layout is good for me.08/12/17- I originally rated this as a 5 but recently the number 2 key has been sticking. I have not spilled anything on this unit so I do not know what the problem is. If I remove the key and let a little isopropyl alcohol run into the plastic plunger, the key will work a little better for an hour or so. Tried a little silicone lubricant but that did not help. Back to the drawing board.

I have used Victor adding machines at my office jobs since 1978. Nothing compares to Victor for durability, fastness, and ease of use. My co-worker watches me add numbers at a rapid pace. So easy to do with Victor. When my old Panasonic went out at home, it was simple to chose a Victor to replace it. Great job Victor !!

Bought this to replace another Victor that finally gave out after 16 years. The keys are smooth and printing is fast. No problems with the paper jamming or the ribbon coming loose. The screen display is bright and easy to read. Very pleased with this calculator.

My old Victor calculator finally stopped working after 20 years and so I wanted a new one to replace it.This one works great and I plan on having it a long time to come.
