Texas Instruments TI-1795 SV Standard Function Calculator

The non-standard battery may cost as much as the unit, but there is solar power.

Okay, it’s nothing fancy. We all have calculators on our phones now. But I like this little desk calculator because it’s easy to read, and has larger buttons than just a pocket sized calculator. The other nice thing is I don’t tie my phone up wasting battery time on an app.

Purchased this brand calculator after contacting their C/S to see if the battery was replaceable without too much difficulty. Assured it would be easy to replace when the time came. Previous standard calculator (not this brand) when I unscrewed the back, the entire calculator fell apart — electronics, key pads falling out! This calculator has a small door on the back with 1 screw to get at battery housing. This calculator will be used to balance the checkbook & do basic addition & subtraction. It will sit in a kitchen drawer with scissors, pens, pencils & markers. It’s large enough to not get lost in the drawer. A woman with a large tote would be able to easily find it in her handbag. It isn’t credit card sized.

This is my gold star standard for a desk calculator. Big enough to quickly enter numbers without my fingers hitting the wrong one, or me squinting to see it. Sits firmly on the desk without sliding around, is super light and easy to tuck in a drawer. I have this at both my home and work office.

The numbers are easy to read and big, but there is an optimal viewing angle outside of which the numbers are slightly faded. So, numbers appear their darkest when viewed from over ~5 degrees below the tilted screens surface normal (the line that is perpendicular to the displays surface plane in 3D space). When placed on a desk, viewing is well within the optimal viewing angle, and I am quite pleased. The buttons are accommodating to rapid sequential pressing.

Well, it worked great for one day.... Now it is dead... My previous one I had for 11 years ( different manuf) This one just one day Nice!!!!

DISLIKED THAT I WAS SOLD IN JUNE, 2022, AN ITEM FROM 2018. ALSO NO INSTRUCTIONS.

I just needed a very simple calculator for work. This is perfect, its small, doesnt take up a bunch of space, yet big enough display to make it comfortable to read.

Just as described and fast shipping!

TI is known for their calculators, we used them in school and now at work. Its ergonomic, if a calculator can be ergonomic.
