kurt wiesenbach: I already had a couple of calculators, but they were a bit flimsy and hard to read the numbers sometimes. This one feels much more like the larger desk calculators, and was working on solar right out of the box! Haven't put a battery in it and have been using it for the last couple days without a hitch. I like the feel of the keys, and while I typically don't need all the functions, it does provide all of the same functions that my desk calculator at the office has. Overall I really like this, and feel the price is very good for what you get!

Al in SoCalAl in SoCal: Firstly, for around $10, having it delivered to my door "next day" and being able to use it in its basic form right out of the box... I will say it appears to be a fair value. It's not "great" in any way, if compared to high quality desk calculators. But for a "private label" knock-off, it appears to do what I need here in my home office.

Having used calculators since their introduction in the early 70s, I do remember the first generation of cordless calculators, circa 1972. This is not that quality...... it's today's level of expected "utility" quality; it's lightweight, and has mushy button-push with side-travel. Quality calculators have button push travel that's "straight down" where the button feels well supported, somewhat like your computer keyboard. Regarding the power sources, I've read reviews about the "solar cell" being a non-operative item, so I'm relying on the AA battery I put into the unit upon receipt, and the auto-shut-off that kicks in around 5 minutes.

SEE MY ATTACHED PHOTO of the calculator's instruction sheet..... For the average "I just need a basic calculator", this should fit the bill. But if you're looking to utilize the...

Ethan: Very helpful calculating basic math related to my company's finances etc as well as computing the more significant calculations required by the built-in-time machine, if you want to end up in the right epoch of history, that is. You will definitely want to use the advanced functions to ensure you do not end up eaten by a dinosaur or suddenly appear in the middle of a 19th century smallpox epidemic. Even if you're not up for time travel in the literal sense (and to be fair, DS200MKL held its own in that capacity!) gazing upon its retro contours will likely inspire nostalgia for a time when a desktop calculator could inspire excitement, intellectual curiosity, and -- dare I say it? -- the dream of a more sensible human society defined as much by its love of reason as its compassion for fellow humans and animals alike. Except sloths. They're useless.

N. Brasfield: This is exactly what I was looking for--a big, easy to read calculator with nice keyboard keys. It's made well, I love the way it's laid out, and the keys function wonderfully. Don't be deterred by the fact that there's not a brand name anywhere on it--it is definitely worth the price.
