Great calculator.. only complaint would be that it only has two rubber feet/pads on the base as opposed to four. Still very stable though. I've been through many and this is probably my favorite "desktop" calculator.

Fist, mine arrived a few weeks ago and looks quite different than the picture, but has the same model number on it. However, that does not bother me but...

It feels cheap, and does not work well unless you operate very slowly! If you press 2 buttons too close in succession it may skip the second. I used it for 3 days, then bought another, cheaper, Canon that I can press keys on as fast as I want.

      Comments about Staples® SPL-290 Desktop Calculator:

      Overall good product, but for those of us that don't have to look down to use it will find an issue with the buttons not always working without a thorough downward push. If sensitivity was better this would be a great product. Maybe I can break it in.....

        We just wanted a large form factor calculator for basic check book balancing, This model was the only one in stock at the time so we bought it. It has many more features than we needed but it works well. Just wish the (local staples store) had the cheaper/basic model in stock
