Amazon.com Review
If you're looking for a low-cost calculator but want a unit that's sturdier than most, then the Texas Instruments TI1795SV may be your ideal choice. It offers basic math operations without the frills that you may never need. Plus, it has a combination solar/battery power supply for long battery life and easy reading in any lighting condition. The TI1795SV is a slightly larger and sturdier version of the Texas Instruments TI1706 solar calculator. Like the TI1706, the TI1795 offers functions for square root, percentages, plus and minus values, and memory. However, the TI1795 is designed as a mini desktop calculator, so its eight-character LCD is larger and easier to read, and the unit overall has a weightier and more substantial feel. Although it's too large to fit in a shirt pocket, the TI1795SV fits comfortably in a coat pocket or a purse. Use it at home, work with it at the office, or take it to the grocery store or anywhere you need quick and easy calculations. --John Frederick Moore

 Texas Instruments TI1795SV Solar Calculator March 19, 2002

In the spring of 2000 I went to Peru to help a rural commumity build a school for the local children. Needless to say, they had almost nothing in the way of school supplies. I bought a number of these solar calculators to donate to the new school. I chose the TI1795SV because the large display and large buttons. The children and teachers did not need a complex calculator but more than just plus and minus; so this one fit the bill just right. Also, because this community is poor and has limited access to technology the solar cells of the calculator will keep it up and running even if the battery were to lose power. It was a little bulky to carry 20 of these to Peru but well worth the looks on their faces when I donated them. All-in-all a worthwhile investment!

I bought 2 of these calculators to take to some of my relatives in the Philippines. They live in a small farming village in rural northeastern Luzon. It's a jungle environment that has no utilities and the closest thing to a shop is a 3 hour jeep ride away. My relatives wanted some calculators for when they took their corn and banana crops to the buyers in town, so they could quickly figure if they were getting a fair deal for their stuff. The TI1795SV can handle the rough environment, with all the dust, dirt, and getting dropped & whatnot. It would be perfect if it was waterproof (it's not) but my relatives are being careful to carry the calculators in Ziplocs (amazing you can buy Ziplocs in the jungle but no batteries) during typhoons and not drop them in the river.
Tough Little Calculator! (Style has changed - see photo) February 17, 2008

I'm SO happy to see they still make this model calculator! I've had mine for about ten years now and use it daily and it finally died today. I've used it so much I wore the paint off of the point key, and pulled it out tonight to check something and the plus key (finally) stopped working. This is an awesome and very tough little calculator, the display is nice and big and very easy to read in even low light (and I have poor vision), it's lightweight and I can easily throw it in the drawer without worrying about it getting damaged, but it's not so light you can't pound away on it without it slipping around (and it has two little rubber feet to keep it in place). And it's completely solar, no batteries to worry with. I just ordered another one tonight, and I'm so glad I don't have to get used to a different one (I key very fast and it keeps up with me), here's hoping my new one lasts another ten years :-)
Update - I just got this in the mail today and FYI the style number is the same but the design has changed (see photo comparisons above, the Amazon stock photo is incorrect). The new one is bigger and rounder, about a half inch wider and longer. It's also thicker and the key pad is 'ergonomically' rounded, which makes it a longer reach for short fingers. The buttons are a little bigger and there is an extra row of three at the top (rate, tax+, tax-) that I don't need. So it will take a little getting used to, I wish it was still the smaller size, but the display is still big and easy to read and the keys are quick.

I've had mine for 4 years now and use it almost daily. Never had any problems with it even after a few drops to the carpeted floor. Large easy to read keys with a nice feel, not too hard - not too soft. Large easy to read display. All in all, good calculator for everyday basic functions.

I PURCHASED THIS ITEM IN JULY AND THE NUMBER 9 IS FROZEN IN THE WINDOW.
I CAN NOT ENTER ANY NUMBERS OR DELETE THE #9. HOW DO I RETURN THIS ITEM?
