Avalon 8-Digit Dual Power Desktop Calculator for Home and Office

Colin C. Williams: The simple calculator did not work. First off, it was used and had food on it. Did I mention it was broken and had no functionality? Reading the paper that was included, I was instructed to contact the manufacturer. The company only makes water purification equipment, and was 100% clueless about their calculator products. Despite a call and email, I received no reply. What company sells used, food covered products, that don’t work, and despite the paperwork with the product, denies make the product? Extremely poor form. Avoid this company and their calculator…..total junk.

AmazonianJoAmazonianJo: Has 4 pencil eraser-size grey foam feet to keep it from wobbling while typing.
The screen is shiny, so it does catch quite a glare, but it hasn't impeded my ability to easily read the big numbers. Wish the display was angled a bit more forward or was adjustable; if sitting erect, it's easy to see, but if you recline in your seat, it can be a little harder to read.
It is sloped, but wish there was a bit more incline for good ergonomics --- but I give it a pass since it makes it more flat to be portable.
The commas separating 100's displays at the top, not the bottom. But decimal appears at the bottom.

There is a click when numbers are depressed which might annoy Dilbert and sensitive cubicle mates.
Square number and primarily circle symbols make it easier to type by feel. LOVE that the equal and plus buttons are oversized and conveniently placed to just tap with thumb or pinky respectively
No OFF button, but it does turn itself off eventually (seems like after 5-7 minutes) before draining all the solar power.
Number buttons are a bit larger than adult finger tips, and symbol buttons fit large adult finger tips exactly. So should be...

Corrine: Exactly what I needed to wrote a payroll exam, no extra buttons just a basic calculator, good size for a desk as the buttons are ideal.

John TurcotteJohn Turcotte: I purchased 3 of the Black and White calculators and I must admit they are the nicest looking calculator you will possibly ever buy. I was going to get one of the pink coloured calculators and I now wish I did. I'm sure its absolutely beautiful looking as well with its Red keys and White function buttons. Now lets get down to the quality and specifics of these divine looking calculators.

It's a " Solid Well Made " basic calculators and thats what I love about it ( BASIC ). The number keys are rectangular and the correct size 1/2 " x 5/8th " and the white round function buttons are 1/2 " in diameter. It's super light and the dimensions are 4 inches wide and 5.75 inches long and I can easily hold it comfortably in the palm of one hand and type the number in with the other. It's simply the perfect size. You can either hold it in your hand or leave it on the desk. The LCD display has the correct amount of tilt to the screen for viewing and is super large and really crisp and clear. The display is 3.58 inches long and 3/4 inches wide. The numbers are black and clear and very distinct and easy to read. The size of the display numbers are what I consider...

Amazon Customer: No problems. Works fine. Big numbers, easy to read display, seems to do fine in low light. One drawback is no memory function. Very inexpensive.

nascarbettie: I'm VERY happy with this calculator. It's big but still fits in my hand. The keys are easy to push and the display is very easy to read. It's everything I wanted in a new calculator. It's made well, It doesn't look like it's cheap or junky.

AcerAcer: My old calculator, which I had more than 15 years, did a lot more than this calculator, but I never used half the functions. When it finally died -- battery changes no longer helped -- I looked for something simpler and found this.

It does everything basic that I need, has big, easy-to-hit buttons, a nice LCD display (which the packaging says is "titled" but which is actually "tilted") and it's a great size. The price was certainly right. I love the fact that it's dual powered. Adds, subtracts, multiplies, divides, does square roots and percentages. There's a simple instruction sheet that explains how to do sample calculations. This is a great buy if all you need is something basic.

Jerry. Fleming: Haven't had time to make a whole lot of use of this item yet, but here is my initial quick and dirty --- good product... display is good and dark, easy to read. Calculator is large enough to sit still when being used, but small enough to tuck away nicely when not in use. Buttons are reasonably large and easy to use without fat-fingering. My only negative is the battery is not replaceable. I know, it is solar powered, but that assumes you will always be working in a fairly well lit environment... Not always the case.
