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.

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.

Sharp calculator...thumbs up!
The calculator is a little larger than my last one, but it works well. Numbers are large and easy to make out, 10 key layout is spaced correctly prints nicely and MUCH quieter than my last calculator. Although calculations is not a major part of my job, I use it daily and am happy with the purchase.

Work Great
Had to replace my old version of this calculator after 8 years. This one seems to run quieter than the previous, love it.

Very nice calculator. Had to replace a Canon model after 5 years. Like this one better. Only issue was getting used to a different button placement, especially the total button. Love the large display and printing quality.

Good little workhorse
I've used this machine for years and have found it very dependable and reliable. However, unlike the description states it is not a ribbon printer (the model that preceded it was), but rather an ink cartridge.

Not exactly what i was looking for
I do not like this adding machine, the numbers are too close together. Wanted to return and purchase a different one, but i had already returned ones that i didn't like and wasn't sure if I would be able to return again.

Great calciulator
Have had the same calculator for years. Needed a new one for our front counter so, after trying a different brand, we went back to something tried and true. Although we don't use all the functions available on this model, we wanted something with a faster speed and easy to read print. Keys are spaced well and easy to use.

THE ONLY CALCULATOR I USE!
I learned to use a 10-key at my first CPA firm and have used one of these ever since. I will not use any other machine but this one because of the key placement and functionality. They last forever!

With Sharp Minds...
Sharp is the only brand of calculator I've used for over 30 years. I miss their smaller footprint though but it's still an excellent calculator regardless of it's increasing size.
