Office Products HS-1200TS Business Calculator, Black, 4 7/8 x 6 7/8

This is a great business calculator. All the right functions including margin and tax buttons plus a really solid and satisfying feel with each press of the buttons. I'm writing this review because I'm having to buy a replacement for the last HS-1200TS that I bought in 2015. Here we are at the end of 2023 and this calculator just died on me. I think it's mostly my fault as I mistakenly set it on my wireless phone charger and then it was dead the next day. Either that or 8 years is the life expectancy for this calculator. Either way, it was the best $9.94 I ever spent as I used this thing daily for those 8 years. I'd calculate how many pennies a week that is but my calculator is dead......

This model from Canon is my favorite hand calculator. I buy them two at a time because I keep giving them away to clients; this particular model is difficult to find in stores in my area. I like this one because the screen is perfectly angled and doesn't require any adjustment. Ever. The display is big enough for me to see even without bifocals -- next year that might by iffy. The buttons are not huge but they're big enough that I don't fat finger everything, perhaps because there is actually some space between them. I don't use a calculator like this often, so I don't have the wicked fast skills that some people have. I need all the advantages I can get. The keys are soft press and silent. There's a manual adjustment for the level of rounding, percentage +/-, profit margin, and tax. Also a memory for a single value. For a calculator of this size, that's pretty good -- and all I would ever need before I jumped ship to a spreadsheet. The calculator is solar, just like most of these little calculators. One of mine I have had for years, though, and never had any reason to touch the battery. It's a good deal.

A friend said calculators are an anachronism. Why of course they are. So are electric typewriters and rotary dial land lines. I guess my 1911 crank phone that still receives calls is too. When you need to add up debits and credits in a checkbook or some other mundane arithmetic or even mathematical calculation, there is little better than a calculator and this Canon HS-1200TS if far more superior than any calculation I will ever need now. Just think that this little number cruncher will out do almost any old timey calculator at far less weight and considerably faster. I only wish I saved my Friden Rotary chuchanga-chuchanga, put on the ear plugs calculator. My desktop weighs less than it did. Long gone is my Comptometer and I miss its doorstop capabilities. My last Canon calculator did not have the multiple functions and did not have the decimal capacity either: however, it just wore out from use. This new Canon has the solar battery and meaningful functions. Frankly, many of those capabilities are of little value if the keyboard does not respond properly to a user or the amount of time is too long. Canon is perfect in this area as well as providing me with a fantastic handheld calculator. Even though the full universe of calculations resides in my desktop, I seldom use its abilities since the Canon is handy.

I love this calculator. Owned many over the years but nothing beats this little rascal. No batteries to change, totally solar but still with an internal battery inside. Could not believe the ease of using all the functions. Even has a built in tax + and a tax - minus auto built in. Love the buttons as absolutely no pressure is required to push them, almost like waving your finger over the keys. The real beauty of this calculator is the ability to enter up to 12 digit viewing screen with auto punctuations, commas, periods once you set the decimal point to your liking. The tax key alone is worth the cheap price of this beauty. It's amazing. For example, hit the tax + plus key, enter the amount of tax in your area, and hit the tax plus + key again. The tax function is programmed forever. So simple. All memory functions are built in. The size of this calculator is perfect for desk top use. Gone are the cheap looking black plastic models. This unit is very light weight, colorful and features a tremendous viewing screen set at a slight angel. Very large keys for a mans hands. Widely spaced no clutter. The unit has two built in front rubber pads to prevent slippage. I keep my unit on a shelf with little light without any solar charging problems from the built in top mounted solar screen. This calculator is worth 5 times what I paid for it. It's a keeper.

I really like this calculator . Simple to use with its many functions. However it has one major fault unrelated to its calculating ability. It is advertised as having battery and solar functions. True. however when the battery goes you have to embark on a google searching expedition on where to find the battery, which battery is needed, and how to get into the case to get at the battery. There are no instructions in the manual which you have to download. The best I could find is to remove the 3 small screws and then PRY THE CASE APART. HA & good luck. Finally got it apart and then the calculator refused to work. I'll buy another, it's only 9 bucks every few years.

Nice calculator … still Learning functions

Works perfect for figuring out a customers margin

I love this calculator! The keys are big, it sits stable when I pound the keys, and they are well spaced for easy use. Quickly displays as I type. Solar power is great. Good viewing angles too! No wonder this has become kind of a classic!
