Canon P1DHV 12-Digit Portable Printer,Display Calculator

My old trusty reliable solar calculator was packed up when I retired. I didn't unpack it for about a month. When I did, I could barely see the numbers. I sat it in the sun for a few days hoping to recharge it some. Sadly, I had to call time of death. I decided to replace it with a printable version. When I'm balancing my checkbook (yes, I still do that), I like to look back on the math to be sure I entered everything correctly. This machine is perfect for that. It has more functions/buttons than I really need and I'm still familiarizing myself how to use it but, overall, it's a good buy. I just wish I could find the small rolls of paper like it came with; all I can find are the bigger rolls.

I previously had a calculator like this one for at least 15 years. I had to replace it because I could not find a replacement for the printing ink. I love the size and convenience.

Dislike : difficult to turn clear off, will go off after sometime, though on it's own.

The numbers are a little difficult to read on the tape AS it's printing, but otherwise it prints and functions perfectly. The portability is great for such a little calculator. Great workhorse.

It's flabbergasting to discover that the engineers who designed this product would let it go to manufacture with the readout of the functions so small and so hard to read that it would take a magnifying glass to see how the settings were set. This functionally destroys the workability of the product. I would send it back but I haven't gotten around to it. Don't buy it. The paper handling is bad enough, like other reviewers have said, but this other matter takes the cake. Simply astounding how stupid the designers had to be to let this happen.

It should include electric power cable. Calculator is very easy to use, and it is accurate.

I purchased this to replace an older model of the same calculator when the zero key quit working reliably. I always liked the machine for the small size and ease of use. It has way more functions than I need but it was a workhorse for the simple calculations I required. My complaint is that it is way to difficult to get the paper roll started. The manual says insert the paper into the slot on the top of the machine. Good luck with that. You must leave the top cover partially open to be able to align the paper roll with the feeding mechanism then manually thread the paper up through the exit slot. The older model was difficult as well but this new one seems more so.

This is my second one. The other lasted more than ten years. Does all the things that most householders would want and probably more. All standard functions, handy size, big buttons , good size numerals, reliable. The ink roller seemed to last forever
