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
This is a great calculator at a great price. I have had very expensive calculators and this one is as good if not better for half the price. I am a Controller so I use my calculator a lot!

I bought two other calculators
I bought two other calculators made by Canon and returned both because the buttons were not working properly - I use this Sharp model at my office and love it so I bought for my home office - I do bookkeeping and accuracy is an absolute necessity!!

Sharp (EL-1197III) CALCULATOR
I HAVE BEEN USING THIS MODEL OF SHARP'S CALCULTORS FOR YEARS. MY LAST CALCULTOR WAS
SUBMERGED IN A SINK FULL OF SOAP AND WATER. MY GRANDSON WAS CLEANING IT FOR ME.
SO I HAVE A NEW ONE AND IT IS EXACTLY LIKE THE OLD ONE ONLY DRYER. SHARP MAKES VERY DEPENDABLE

I love this Sharp Calculator
I love this Sharp Calculator EL-1197PIII! I actually had the same calculator before purchasing this one and had used it at least four years and I don't mean casual use. I use the calculator all day at work. I use the calculator constantly. The response time entering the figures is immediate. Some calculators run slower than this Sharp does. I am truly sold on this Sharp...
