Works well

I've been in the mortgage and banking industry for many years, and this has been the simplest of all the financial calculators I have ever used. I've used the smaller version as well as the mobile app and I love this version, it's a fixture on my desk.Don't be under any impression that this thing isn't big, people comment on it all the time that it's HUGE! Definitely easy to read. My favorite part is the "click" the keys make and the solid feel as you're punching in numbers. I've gotten so used to it, I hardly have to look at the calculator, a huge upgrade for me versus the squishy keys of the hand held version.If you are new to the business or a seasoned pro: this calculator has the features you need to get clear figures for your clients in a highly readable display and is not incredibly complicated to get used to.

I really like this is WIRELESS so I can take it anywhere and the display is really easy to read. It does more things than I can do and I don't remember but it has one thing that you press that gives you extended decimal points out so you get exact numbers I can't remember right now how I turned it on but it's really great cause it's so accurate. I bought the same model. smaller one which goes in my purse, but this is so much easier to read that when I'm home I use this very well-made highly recommend.

Good but very large size

I absolutely love the size of this calculator. Please ignore anyone that claims it is too large. The size is perfect. The functions and formulas are excellent. If I get a chance I will do a video review one day because I think that everyone should see how impressive and how practical this calculator can be. Also a great price for the quality and the manual that comes with the product.

Been using this calculator for over 10 years and my old one just stopped working. Ordered this new one and expect it to last as long or longer. If you’re in real estate, lending or similar fields and do a lot of work at your desk this is a lot better than using your phone or iPad, I think.

This is a must have for the desk and the app-calculator for the phone. The video's online are short, sweet, and make it easy to do what needs to be done in the MTG business. Highly recommend, just as it was highly recommended to me.

If you are used to the TI BAII line or the various HP financial calculators - expect a culture shock: The keyboard layout differs - and hides eg. FV.Functionwise I prefer the Android version which I downloaded to my 5" smartphone first, because it allows to record the key presses and a printout. Because of eyesight I ordered the desktopmodel afterwards.The limitations in readability (3 stars) concern only the font size for the shift functions. Otherwise ergonomics help well against diminishing eyesight by good readability of keybord and LCD..The software has some quirks. Especially the ARM routines cause workflow interruptions and a need to reenter values way to often, because it's very easy to press ARM a second time and change values accidentially. Also intermediate ARM results should be stored as cashflows automatically (switch to in preferences) to calculate the APR more esily.The other APR examples given in the documentation are misleading, because you have to press INT instead APR to get the correct result. Pressing APR changes the already existing data in the finance registers - sic!Where it shines is in calculating interest for odd periods easily, the whole qualification process, blended interest rates and combo loans.Would I buy it again? Yes.
