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.

Good machine
I have only used this for a few days, but so far it has performed well. It is very similar to the one I had which finally gave up the ghost after many years of service. Hopefully this one will last as long!

Good calculator
Solid machine that is reliable and works well. The only con that I can see is that it was larger than my previous calculator and it was difficult to make room on my desk for it.

Why would I use another
Heavy user-calculator gets replaced about every three years; other units don't even come close to the quality construction of this unit; weight and firm keystroke response; layout is practical and price delivers good bank for the buck

PERFECT!!!!!
Spilled a large glass of iced tea on my old Sharp that I loved, but the tea got inside and fried it. So glad it did, I love the newer model so much better. It tells you the date and time and the best new feature is that it is NOT very loud when typing and the buttons are like butter, smooth and easy.Great Job SHARP!!!!!!!

Sharp"s Are Always First Rate
I have always found Sharp calculators to be a great machine. The office/home office models are quiet, steardy, and well made. I always buy a Sharp whether if be for the office of my home office.

Quiet and soothing sound!
I had previous model for 10 years and upgraded to new model and very pleased with design and functions. The most pleasing feature is the soothing quiet sound when you are performing functions.Thank you Sharp designers!

Good for the price
Bought this for my mother when hers quit, she has cripled fingers and is able to use its wide key pad easily. Would have liked for it to have had a seperate total button.

since I'm colorblind, why not have minus
as I am colorblind, can you also have minus signs
instead of two colors for a negative figure

Love my Sharp calculator
I had a Sharp calculator for many years and after it stopped working decided that I could get by with a cheaper, smaller calculator. I was never happy. I'm glad to have one very similar to my old one.
