Texas Instruments TI-1795 SV Standard Function Calculator

I have used a lot of calculators and this is hands down the best. I have had mine for around 10 years and have not had one issue. I work in warehouses and have dropped it several times on concrete and the only damage it has taken is some scuffs or some pieces slightly out of place that just pop right back into place. I have bought several of these for staff and never once heard of an issue. No buttons getting stuck, no buttons that you have to press extra hard, and the display is clear. Every other calculator I have used has had some issue within a few months of using it, but NEVER this one.

I had one for many years and it stopped working. This is my go to calculator because the keys are large and it is very stable. It does everything I need it to do in normal money matters. I love it.

Just what I was looking for. A good calculator for my desk, that works great for paying bills and simple tasks. Its a great size and feels comfortable when using it.

Simple calculation calculator, but it is super user friendly for the office. I do a lot of percentages at work and this guy is designed for me! just put in the % as a whole number and add it. Could use the smart phone, but why waste the batteries when I have this little guy!

Easy to use and easy to read. I bought one for my home office and one for my work office. However, this is not a 12 digit calculator - it only goes to 11 digits, so I needed to get one for work that goes to 12 digits. I was not aware of this when I purchased it.

Has large keys. The angle of your eye to display needs to be adjusted then you see well. Im done.

This review is for the SECOND version of this calculator, the slightly-larger, grey, BLACK and white model, with a rounded mound housing the keypad. I had actually ordered the older model -- the light-grey model, with the blue and white keys, slightly smaller, which I had had previously, but sadly lost. I had considered returning this newer model, but finally decided against it, as it is now listed as being discontinued by the manufacturer, so -- if I returned the newer one I did get, I very well might have gotten the same model back.......... I was, at first, extremely disappointed in the newer model. (Why both the newer model and the older model -- which look COMPLETELY DIFFERENT -- have the VERY SAME MODEL NUMBER is completely beyond me. I mean, people who work at Texas Instruments are supposed to be very intelligent and know what they are doing....but why they decided to give to truly different calculators the same model number is something I dont think Ill ever understand. I mean...what kind of genuis makes this very simple mistake? (one who wants to fool online and catalogue buyers, who have to trust that the packers will pack the right model, perhaps>) That said, this NEWER model -- though larger and more-than-slightly bulkier than the older one -- does have a few advantages....I think. I dont remember the older model having a tax+ or tax- or rate key, nor do I remember it having a battery backup, as the newer model does. This newer model has a nice little compartment for the battery, which need only be opened with a single screw. So, the entire back of the calculator need not be taken off -- with the slight dangers, therein, of getting dust into the machine, or disturbing the delicate circuitry, in the half a minute or so, that it takes to change the battery. With a neat little separate oompartment for the battery changing, the rest of the back of the machine need not be disturbed at all! This is all the more important, as more and more calculators, sadly, are made with no user-replaceable batteries enclosed, (no -- one is instructed, in these other, still newer calculators, to take them to the nearest authorized repair shop, of the designated manufacturer -- and have them replaced there, like wrist-watch batteries! First wrist-watches, now calculators! Talk about planned obsolence! (Buy even this newer model 1795SV, and keep it close!) Although the newer model 1795sv has a wrap-around, windshield numberical display, (instead of what is to me, the far more esthetically pleasing and clearer, picture-frame numberical display, found in the older model 1795sv), the numbers still are well-spaced and clear to view. It also has the nice, l a r g e numberic display, which is not only on this newer model 1795SV, but also on the older model 1795SV.....and also on the belated, dearly loved, and sadly lost original Texas Instrument 1795 model, (no sv), which I once had, and enjoyed more than both of the 1795sv models put together! (It was small, handy, and a beautiful medium-bone-yellow in colour. It also seemed to stay on FOREVER -- pr at least an hour or so, if I remember correctly. Oh, that Texas Instruments would bring THAT model back, sigh!) Well, this NEW m0del 1795SV -- though NOT the older, handier model 1795SV, nor the original model 1795 -- still has many good points, most of which are delineated above. It is also a desk-top model which can be carried in a pocket-book, if necessary -- and also in a briefcase, but not in a wallet. It is bigger than the two previous models in the Texas Instrument 1795 line...but does have that priceless customer-replacable battery chamber. Although I do prefer the previous two models, this newer one, now available, is not a bad little calculator, all things considered. But I would still welcome, (greatly!), the return of the original 1795 model, and/or the original 1795sv.

Great little calculators. Wouldn’t have to buy more if people would stop taking mine.

I love the size, the weight and it works perfect for me.

Works great! I use this calculator for everything at work and school.
