EL-1750V Two-Color Printing Calculator 2 Lines/Sec 3" Black/Red

This isn't your cheap $8 calculator that's hard to read and the key spacing is a problem. I replaced a larger typical desktop blue-digit florescent printing calculator that cost 3-times what this little gem cost. Since I'm retired now, I didn't need a large space-taking monster on my desktop. Did I have to get use to the keys on the Sharp? Of course I did...but that's not a complaint like other reviewers have stated. It's a different machine -- there's always a learning curve. And some stated the red (-) negative key is located in an awkward area -- again, it's different, but I got use to it by day two. No big deal. Best features: good key spacing, solid feel, large, good contrast easy-to-read digits (approximately 18mm high X 7mm wide), clock/date feature, nice two color printing, fairly quiet, very small foot print, properly-angled digit display (you won't need a calculator stand), non-existent glare on the display area even with direct over-head lighting, easy to read key labels, and easy to follow directions (if you have a magnifying glass). The last statement is a small irritant of mine -- all publishers are now using tiny fonts to save paper I guess. But I really didn't need the directions since the unit works like most business calculators. I had to laugh at one reviewer that complained about the order of entering numbers -- like entering a number, pushing the "+" sign, and then entering another number, then pushing the "-" key to subtract the second number. Remember this is not a grade-school 8-buck calculator. ALL business calculators work this way -- it's based on true math/accounting principles: you first enter a positive number, then you "add" a negative number to get the result. Once you start thinking and using the machine this way it really starts to make sense. Any cons? The directions state you must enter military time to get the proper AM or PM final readout -- but it doesn't explain this very well. No biggie. Enjoy your little gem. Highly recommend!

I rarely use an adding machine, and I have had the same plug-in Canon for at least 20 year, but it got zapped in a recent thunderstorm and I had to replace it. This Sharp looked similar, had a plug-in option and the price was right - and it's a perfectly good machine except for one issue, which is a personal one. The keys are raised much higher than they were on my Canon, and my keystroke style, such as it is, doesn't work with these raised keys. Other reviews mention this feature as well, some of them complimentary. It's just a personal choice, and my personal choice is to return it and buy another Canon.UPDATE: I have changed my review to 5 stars because the customer service at this company (Shoplet) is bogglingly good. The calculator keyboard didn't suit my style, so I returned it, but I waited a while to do so. The company sent me two reminders to get my return in the mail, and then my package got lost in the mail, and Shoplet got back to me the same day every time I had to communicate with them. Really unusual customer service in this day and age, so they deserve 5 stars.

Received as advertised. Handheld size. Works well. Would advise to order extra roll of paper since original doesn’t last very long. One slight drawback is when it’s printing it’s LOUD! All in all it appears to be a good value. It’s lightweight enough to hold in your hand while working if necessary. Also, I like having the option of battery operated or plug in.

Only calculator I like to use!! So easy and buttons are easy to use

I needed a relatively small calculator to take it with me, or just to use it in my busy desk with not enough outlets in the right place. The adding machine also had to be big enough to accommodate my big fingers. Of course, I was looking for one that could operate with AC or DC.Also, it is amazing to me that calculators in this price range most of them don't have the capability to keep time and to make date calculations. If they have it, they lack a battery backup in case the machine is disconnected or the battery is exhausted.Many years ago when I learned to use the keypad by touch, there was a feature in the old mechanical calculators that allowed you to input, say, 1234 to signify 12.34, to avoid pressing the period button for every entry. This mode is called A, for adding machine. It is very handy when you want to add many entries. In this mode you don't have to deal with the dot key, which is almost always in the wrong place.The Sharp EL-1750V has all these features and more.The only con that I found (which is also very common among adding machines and I do not know why) is the odd way to perform subtractions. Let's say you to calculate 10 - 3. You will enter 10, then the plus sign, then the 3 and finally press the minus key. Even little simple calculators will require you to enter 10, the minus sign and the 3. Is shorter and more logical.Great little adding machine!This little machine was the only one that fit my bill..

Does all the functions I needed. Small so convenient to use on my desk

Perfect for my home office

I bought this Sharp EL-1750V Portable Printing Calculater and I haven't had a lot of time to read the directions or play with it much. So maybe it is unfair for me to review this product. I had another kind that was much easier to work. I cannot figure out how to program the time and date. I also cannot figure out how to make the display appear using the batteries. I always have to use the electrical adapter. I wanted the calculator to be more portable not be connected to a electrical adapter.This portable calculator has all the features that I wanted as well as being compact. Maybe I am just getting old and dumb I do like it, it works fine otherwise. It adds, subtracts, divides and multiplies, which is pretty much all I wanted it for. I bought it from Amazon as I do most of what I purchase because I know they stand behind what they sell. Everything I have bought including this calculator have been good products. Thank you Amazon.

Esegue perfettamente tutti i calcoli con tasti grandi. Sono presenti tasti utili come il Gran Totale (GT) e quelli per l'impostazione costante delle percentuali (tipo IVA) da togliere o aggiungere (TAX+ TAX-). Purtroppo non ci sono spiegazioni adeguate. Solo trafficando in internet è possibile trovare un piccolo manuale. Per capirne bene l'uso sarà quindi necessario consumare qualche metro di carta. In ogni caso è consigliabile.

La dimension est bien adapté. Un adaptateur electrique peut être acheté pour éviter les piles.

Tudo certo excelente produto

Calculator very goodUnable to obtain mains transformer with negative centre pin to power from electric power point

Produkt całkowicie zgodny z opisem. Warto zwrócić uwagę na zasilanie bateryjne (w tym opcjonalne zasilanie za pomocą zasilacza - brak w zestawie). Wydruk czytelny oraz szybki. Polecam.
