Advantages: A very robust calculator.

Disadvantages: Probably costs a lot.

Ammended version of this review (My keyboard can not spell).
The Casio calculator being reviewed here, is designed as a desk calculator, meaning it sits there ready for use, and does not skid across the desk when used. It is made to take some abuse, not just be there for occasional use.

I have no idea of the price my employer paid for ours, but you can get these for about £5 these days. I have just found out I put £35 instead of £5!!!

They are the real McCoy, if you have ever seriously made do with a mobile phone calculator, for anything more than a simple sum, then you will understand the difficulties, these ones are designed with the term user friendly in mind.

These have the usual large telephone style 12 digit display.
They also incorporate 3 Euro conversion rates, this is a useful feature for converting currencies, and it has a Tax function.
The Casio MX8v is a better spec version than the older ones.

A one year guarantee is standard. If you require any more details on this or any other Casio product, try the Website here:- www.casio.co.uk,

Specifications:-
These are available in any colour you like as long as it's black. Comes fitted with an OFF button for saving power.
Well spaced out keys.
Bright red ON button for easy recognition.
Angled screen.

They are made by the Casio Computor Company Ltd, and I suppose they are famous for watches more than anything. They seem robust enough to last in a rough office environment, and they look good, come with a decent manual, and do the job a treat. All in all, I think they are a doddle to use, and ours has never let us down yet, and it certainly gets some stick.

Summary: Very strong, never breaks.
