Great machine
It is as close as I could get to a Ti5550 I was worried that I would have problems acclimating after using the Ti for so many year. But I am very happy with the Sharp EL-2196BL.

Smooth & Classy Calculator
Love this new machine. It's quiet has useful functions and looks very classy. Compared to my old Canon it's the difference between a Mercedes and a Volkswagon.

Great!
Our office uses our calculator a lot. We had this same calculator for about 10 years and it just gave out. This calculator is by far very dependable. We would not use any other brand.

One Year later will not turn on
I have had this calculator for One Year and three months. Came into work this morning and it will not turn on. Obviously not reliable. I liked the calculator but it is not reliable.

Love Sharp products but not this one
I have used Sharp adding machines for years. This is the 2nd time that I have purchased this model. This one seems to be a cheaper made version. I have only had it about a year and I have constant trouble with moving the decimal point around. And I have to reset it quite often. Sometimes more than once per day. Disappointed. It is a shame because I had the previous one...
