CanonLS-82Z Handheld Calculator, White

It lasted me 8 1/2 years before the battery died. The battery replacement is LR1130 NOT the 357 listed in the disruption. Wasted money Ordering the 357 replacement and it didn't fit. Decided to just chunk the unit and buy a different brand. Can't really complain about the calculator itself other than to wish it was made in a different country.

I have had one for several years and so glad they are still sold. I just bought another to take with me when traveling for work. It's got just the right slant to be able to see the display when using. Have never had to replace the battery as it also is solar. Highly recommend

I really like this little calculator. I only need one for balancing checkbooks, figuring recipe conversions, and the like, so it is just the right size for me. The dispay is big and clear, and it is very easy to use. It doesn't take up much room, and it's inexpensive enough that I bought 2...one for the kitchen and one for my office. Haven't had it long enough to judge battery life, but I'm sure it will be adequate for me.

I first saw the CANON LS-82z calculator at my local bank. Itwas anchored to a table, so no one would take it, and wasthere for people to tally up deposits and/or withdrawals. It isso little, so useful, so -- well, cute -- that I found myselfanthropomorphizing it, (that is, turning an innanimate objectinto something which is living...at least in my imagination,and falling completely in love with the adorable littlecalculator at first sight, (and use!). I wanted so much to takeit home with me, (as a calculator -- AND pet!) Perhaps it'sdue to the fact that I live in a no-pet building that helpedfoister these, er....feelings in me, but the fact is that it ISa rather small and compact little calculator, (only 3.5 x 4.5 x1.2 inches in size), has easy-to-use hard, (but not too hard)plastic keys, and a nice big 8-digit display! It also seemedjust the right size fit in my hand...though, of course, tetheredas it was to the table in the bank, I couldn't try it out. No --I did NOT hear the little calculator say, "Take me home with you!"-- but it was fun to IMAGINE it was saying this. I also knew thebank had probably searched very carefully to find the right modelcalculator to put on the bank table. So -- with this free advicethat this was a good calculator, (which the bank had unknowinglygiven me -- and every other bank customer!), and my own immediateliking to it -- though I knew I couldn't take the bank's modelhome with me, I did the next best thing: I wrote down the modelnumber, and looked for it on the internet. Sure enough -- therethe calculator I had seen in the bank, (or maybe one of it'sfirst or second cousins!), was there on Amazon! Immediately, Iliberated....er, that is, bought...two of them, hoping, (in myimagination, that is), that these little calculators would finda happy home in my condo!When the calculators arrived, I took one out of its proteciveplastic casing, and immediately put the number "107734" on it.Then I turned the calculator upside down. As with any calculator,the word "heLLO!" appeared on the screen. (There's a whole bookof these calculator tricks, which I mean to look up on Amazonas at the earliest opportunity!)Well, the little Canon LS=82z does fit nicely in the palm of myhand, and works just as well in my home, as it does at thebank. The keys are HARD plastic -- which means they do NOT getsoft and difficult to use after a while. However, "hard" doesnot mean "difficult" here -- the keys are a pleasure to use!They are small enough to keep the size of the calculator down,but big enough for adult hands to use. And -- this IS a solarAND battery calculator. You can always test this on any calcu-lator. Just be sure the calculator is on, and showing numbers.Then put your finger over the solar-battery panel. If thenumbers fade, then the calculator is a solar-powered calculator,only. If they do not fade, then obviously a battery is in thecalculator, too -- as is the case here.It's true this calculator has only a three-key memory, and somepeople find this a great inconvenience. To me, it's only a veryminor inconvenience, and one I can easily live with. The "change-sign" (from plus to minus, or vice versa), key is strangely printed on the same key as "%". Sadly, there seems no way to use the"change sign" function, as directions are not given on the back ofthe package, and there are no other directions given. I don'tchange the sign, often -- so again, this is a minor inconvenience,for me. But if you must change signs from plus to minus, or viceversa, often, I sadlty must suggest you "adopt" another calculator.The biggest disappointment, though, is that, although this ISpowered by a battery, (presumably a button model), as well as solarpower, THERE ARE ONLY TWO SCREWS, ON TOP, IN THE BACK OF THECALCULATOR. This means that it's all but impossible to take thebattery out, and one will be left, eventually, with the choice ofeither using this as only a solar calculator, or getting anothercalculator altogether. A mean thing to do to both calculator...and user.Still, I plan to use and enjoy my litte LS-82z. And if I anthropor-morphize once in a while, what of it? Sometime back, an entireTV show, ('WONDERFALLS'), was based on this idea of anthropormorph-ism. It stayed on the air only a short time...but during thattime, made money for everyone connected in its production!

What's really nice about this unit is that it can be powered by the sun and the numbers are nice and large.

It works well. Good size for desk top.

Love this calculator. This is my second purchase

I have used this calculator for years to complete my payroll

Look at the dimensions "4.25 x 3.25 x 1.5 inches". The packing slip shows "Minidesk calculator". The product pic was larger. No reference to "mini". My phone with a calculator is larger than this. Taken by seller. Heads up.

La verdad es que aunque es un poco reducida en tamanio (no tengo enie en este teclado) es una gran calculadora. Tiene todos los números, del 0 al 9 y eso es muy útil para hacer sumas. Si ves un poco chueca la calculadora puedes confundir el signo de multiplicacion por el de suma. El de resta siempre uno lo puede detectar facilmente. la verdad casi nadie usa eso de la memoria m+ pero funciona muy bien. ja ja

It is rather small and that makes it expensive compared to similar units for same money!

Es una calculadora básica y cumple perfectamente lo que promete.
