I am a professional flooring sales person and use it to clearly show the customers how their flooring area and project cost are calculated. It is easy to use, large display easy for the customer to view while I demonstrate their needs and folds in half for convenient pocket storage. I also bought one for my associate since the customers appreciated seeing the clarity of their flooring dimensions and costs which closes more sales.

Two minor quirks with this calculator. I liked that it was compact and would fold up when not in use. However, when unfolded, it will not lay flat. The two "halves" are not of equal thickness. The display half is thinner than the keypad half. The result is when it is unfolded to lay flat, the keypad half tilts up slightly and the display half tilts back slightly. This makes the calculator rock back and forth every time you press a key on the keypad. Very annoying. It would also have been nice if the hinge had some tension or slight resistance so that the display could be angled, or positioned, rather than always lay completely flat. Good as a compact, casual, handheld calculator. But annoying to use on a desk or table.
Comments about Staples® SPL-170 8-Digit Display Calculator:
Bought two. One for use in my shop to replace older unit without cover or dust protection and the second to replace an old non-working calculator in our RV. One of the two I purchased did not work and was replace quickly. Replacement works fine. I am very pleased with both calculators and with my purchase at Staples.

Handy pocket portable unit, fold up protects keypad and makes unit small enough for pockets while not sacrificing keyboard space. (I hate those tiny things where my finger covers more than one key). Great value for the $$$
