Sharp EL 334 Calculator

Absolutly love this calculator (and I normally prefer Casio!)It is super robustLarge size buttons for ease of useSize is ergonomic to hand - i.e. not too spread out or too compact - your fingers are at a nice relaxed, natural position for typing.The fold out stand is great and easy and has a strong feel to it.Superb feel to the buttons when you press them, not that hateful loose feel. You know when you have pressed them and there is a light but definite click sound, the satisfactory feedback that only a real keyboard can give, yet they are light almost like a touch screen.Easy to read screen and no lagYou can buy cheaper ones but this one just feels better and makes calculating more enjoyable. It's ergonomic and a great desk calculator.Bought as the "house" calculator for grown ups and the kidsBUT we have them in work and they are good sturdy and robust, the casing doesn't crack and fall apart. It has a bluey/grey rubber edging, that adds to the feels when you lift it but also must absorb shock from bumps/drops etc. (Note I havn't purposely dropped mine - but I'd say it would take a good few knocks) They keep on working.I reach for this instead if the calc app on my phone - everytime.

This is the second one of these I’ve bought. Just the right size. Easy to read and no batteries required. Good size buttons. Overall I’d recommend this.

Useful

Love this it replaces a similar one and works well. Arrived promptly.

Great size for my desk and looks smart. I have the stand out which gives a nice viewing angle. Screen is clear. Input symbols are again very clear and I like the = sign, bottom right.

Love the product but still think it’s a bit pricey compared to other models

This is my second Sharp EL-334F calculator - the first one has finally succumbed to old age, 12 yrs to be exact.I'm self employed and need the calculator for VAT purposes, it's super simple tp input the current VAT rate and once this is done, at the press of a button you can input a value, add vat, subtract vat and see the vat value on its own.Big buttons, large screen, solar power recharges the battery, so you never need to replace it.As I said, my last one lasted 12 years of use so I was really pleased to see that the same model was still available

This replaces an identical one we'd had for years. Even that one didn't break down, just went discoloured. Large clear numbers, for simple maths. Memory and percent buttons. Solar power, but uses an LR44 battery as well, in case you keep it in a drawer.
