SharpEL-377WB Business Calculator, White 2.75

This small, white, light Sharp calculator (EL-377W) is especially programmed for tax calculations; black lettering on ambly spaced white keys, solar powered in addition to (+) a small replaceable battery (4 small corner screws to remove the back), large viewing screen and small and light enough one's shirt pocket. Advice: keep the instructions sheet for future reference.

Basically this is a handy low-power shirt-pocket calculator which can be used for most calculations.Operates from solar (powering an internal battery (LR1130X1). Daylight or a desk lamp are enough to power.Works best for uncomplicated calculations of 6 or fewer decimals in doing factors or multiply/divide calculations (which is 99% of the time.Stores local sales tax for quick add-to-total which can be handy in stores/restaurants..

This is a great calculator for simple equations, as well as some more complex ones that involve calculating taxes. I like the large display and the ability to customize the tax rate. It's small enough to fit in your pocket, but the display and keys are large enough that it's easy to see. The instruction packet was easy to understand, and even gave steps for replacing the battery. Overall, this was a very useful product.

For a $8 'business calculator', I was expecting it to be able to do exponents. No luck, this calculator cannot do exponents. How is that even possible? V=P*e^rt, the famous PERT equation, cannot be done on this calculator. The instruction manual says to do 4^6, hit 4X=X==, which only works for integer exponents. Numerous other $8 calculator do exponents, just not this one.

I work in sales and have to say the convenient size makes this calculator easy to keep in a jacket pocket while still being super easy to use and program. The first person I helped today was your stereotypical entitled baby boomer who spent 45 minutes asking me product knowledge questions before saying “I’ll think about it” and walk away. Threw the calculator and now need another one.

This calculator was not at all what we'd ordered. The one we wanted was the EL334T, which is 4 1/4 In. by 6 3/4. in. This one is not quite 3 x 5. Oh well, we must buy them at a store to make sure of getting the correct size.
