EastPin 12-Digit Solar-Powered Basic Calculator

Noel: This is a good calculator & at a great price! My only drawback is the Chinese batteries, hoping they don't blow
up. Will be changing them as soon as I get regular batteries. I also like that this uses regular batteries
and not cell batteries. Overall it is a good calculator and like how it is sturdy & is slanted up to see it easily.
If it continues working like it is, I would definitely buy another one!

Helen: I have been using this calculator for the simple functions that it provides and I really enjoy the big buttons as it makes life easier. However, I will warn that this calculator can malfunction a few times during each use. My biggest problem with it is that often I would press a key but the calculator doesn't respond. For example, I would press 123 but it would fail to record one of the three numbers. I've noticed this problem since the beginning and it has been quite annoying to deal with since sometimes I take this calculator for exams. Overall I like the simpleness and the price but I really hope the manufacturer fixes the problem. I think it may be due to the type of buttons on the calculator as the button shells seem to be a lot bigger than the actual button underneath.

the panda: This calculator is ok and does all I need it to do. It is easy to read and the buttons are large. However, it doesn’t sit perfectly flat so when you press the buttons it wobbles a little. The keys also have a different feel when you press them, not a soft firm feel, but a loose clicky feel. Of course this is not a big deal, but this calculator just isn’t the one I had in mind (which may no longer exist). For the money I am satisfied with my purchase and the sellers seem very proactive and interested in customer feedback.

Taylor Lee: I think this is perfect as a home/office calculator :-)
The size is just right - If it were bigger, it would be... well, too big. If it were smaller, it would be a little difficult to hit the keys quickly and accurately.
It's light - I used to have a Casio calculator which was about the size of this one. This one feels lighter.
Battery - you know what AA is but do you know what CR2032 is? Don't worry it uses AA battery instead of Lithium Coin type battery. Also, you don't need a tool (driver) to replace the battery. Just open the cover and replace it.
The number keys are in the left-bottom area (instead of being surrounded by other keys) so it's less likely to hit a wrong key to, for e.g., delete several numbers that you just entered.
Ergonomic design - when I placed the calculator on the table and looked at the display, the angle was just right. And the numbers are displayed very clearly.
It's a 12 digit display - you have lots of money and need to add big numbers? No problem - as long as you aren't adding trillions :-)
I wouldn't worry too much about how an office calculator looks but to me, this one looks pretty (or cute).
5 stars!

Andy W.: I purchased this calculator for my mother. She had asked for a largish calculator with large, easy-to-read numbers. She was very pleased with the quality of this calculator, and with how easy it is to use. She can read the large numbers easily. She also likes the large buttons.

My understanding is that she has not yet inserted the batteries, and that the calculator has been working just fine on solar power.
