EL-1197PIII Heavy Duty Color Printing Calculator with Clock and Calendar

Works great,

Good machine and good price

I love this adding machine! Very easy to see the numbers on the screen and on the paper! Some adding machines have a colored plastic over the paper and it makes it hard to read the numbers on the paper, this one has a clear cover, so REAL easy to read. The buttons are the perfect size, and responsive. It keeps up with me with no problem. Easy to program the tax buttons. Instructions are included. This is a pretty lightweight adding machine and yet full sized. Fits on my desk perfectly, doesn't move around and I'm able to use it without looking at my fingers. Perfect!

Not water proof. 😔🤣 good machine

I have use Sharp EL-1197PIII calculator for 30 some years. The one I received is not like any I have bought before. It sounds different and frankly its annoying. It sounds tinny and cheap! I use my calculator in my small accounting business and they get a daily work out. I don't understand why this would be? Is this dealer selling a copycat calculator? I am confused! Or did Sharp cheapen this machine? I just know I am not happy with this one.

Nice old school adding machine.

This item is essential for my small business. Our last one worked for 6 years before dying on us. For the price, there are no complaints at all.

This unit replaces another Sharp calculator which finally expired after more than 20 years of hard service. This unit is almost the same, but unfortunately, nothing is made as it was years ago. Manufacturers have found it advantageous to make everything lighter, thinner, and generally more cheaply, and the quality is not as good. On the other hand, at least out of the box, this calculator does exactly what it is supposed to. The keys are arranged in the right place for me (some manufacturers seem to have the keys in rather bizarre arrangements). It is also fast and quiet and compact without being cramped. Importantly to me, the feel of the keys as you input data is good. The keys themselves, and their distance from each other, are comfortable (I personally do not like the sculpted "Chiclet-like" keys that butt up against each other; for me at least, those keys tend to encourage physical slips that result in incorrect entries). The "Chiclet" keys also seem to have a short distance of travel; in other words, you do not and cannot press the keys very far. Some might find that an advantage - I like to be able to depress the key for what feels like a 1/4" or so. This gives feedback to your brain when you are entering data (particularly in a hurry) that you have actually made the entry. This unit provides that feedback. My much-missed older printing calculator described above cost several times the price of this one, and I would gladly pay that price again for the heft and quality of the unit, but no one seems to offer anything similar. I was going to rate this unit 4 stars, because it is not perfect. But is does all the basic functions well - and then some. From my extensive explorations of what is available, I don't think there is a better unit out there, and some are offered at two to three times the price.

Initially, I received a defective unit, on replacement received a good unit fully functional. Locally bought a 50W Voltage converter 220V to 120V to use this as power input. Satisfied with the finish and quality of the product.

Es la mejor sumadora de uso rudo que conozco tengo mas de 10 años comprando este modelo y el anterior son rapidas y muy buenas

Good service and product

Does it's job

Great machine!
