Review: Great basic calculator that lasts several decades - I first got this calculator model some thirty-odd years ago. It still works, I have never changed the battery, and the solar panel is great. Even after being in storage for several years, it charged up off the solar panel in the ambient light in the room and was working in a few minutes. It is thin, light weight, easily fits in a pocket or pencil case, and does the basic computations. I most recently bought this one for my toddler niece who wanted to keep my original, but I didn't want to give it up because I still use it for quick computations at my desk, even with my (much more powerful) computer around. The display is still clear, the buttons are much more responsive than many of the "dollar store" varieties, and it has a useful memory function. Being limited to the basic four functions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), this is definitely not a substitute for a scientific calculator or a graphing calculator, but if you just want to tally your bills or check your addition on your homework problem, this is just the thing. The new model is nearly unchanged and even came in a nice little protective case. My niece loves her new calculator, and it is perfect for her to learn her numbers and basic math. I hope it will also serve her well for her studies and basic computations as mine has for me for many years. Mine has certainly stood the test of time!
Review: Great 8 digit solar calculator with plastic cover… - Great to drop in messenger bag/backpack/briefcase or even carry in portfolio. 8 digits handle most calculations. Three key memory (m+, m-, cm). square root and percentage keys. Standard calculator, battery/solar powered. Good price. Should last a long time. Button size generally good fo such a compact calculator. Blue soft buttons on a light grey background.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handy Pocket Sized Calculator!
*by M***E on February 17, 2019*

I bought this to use in the classroom at our local humane society. We weigh the classroom animals monthly and needed a calculator to convert pounds to kilograms which the docs use to calculate drug dosages if meds are indicated. This calculator is perfect! I love that it has a cover which will keep out debris as we clean their nearby enclosures. The buttons are a good size (for a lady's hand). It opens easily - like a makeup mirror, it has opposing tabs so you push the tabs with your thumb and index finger in opposing directions. Reasonable price for a sturdy calculator.
