Love my Sharp EL-1197PIII
I have used one for many years. Now I work part time and the office just moved to a different place where I have my own desk. Bought the new one for at home and took the old one to the office. I just don't like the little hand calculators, and am happy to have the same one to use at both places.

Replacement Calculator

Sharp EL-1197PIII 12-digit desktop calculator
Ordered this same calculator on 8/31/2024 no problem. This calculator has a detachable power cord, but the cord has slits in it as if it is cut. Not the same cord as previous calculator purchased. Cord is much thicker and not detachable. See attached pictures.

A must have for my desk!
I use a calculator nearly everyday! I don’t need one that does calculus! This one more closely resembles the old 10 key I had when I started in the field of accounting…. Thank goodness

Sharp Calculator
I don't care for where the total button is on it. It should be where the multiply button is. That is the way all my old and other ones are. Sure different to get used to. :( Would not have bought if I had seen this. Proves I was in a hurry that day. :(

Sharp Calculators are the best!
I have used Sharp calculators for over 30 years. I try to use other brands but the ease of use isn't there. From the functionality to the light touch of the keys make this calculator ideal for the business setting.
