Canon Office Products HS-1200TS Business Calculator, Black, 4 7/8 x 6 7/8

I spend enough time working with numbers that I like having a real calculator sitting on my desk. Yes, I have a calculator on my phone and computer, but sometimes it's simply faster to reach over, punch in a few numbers, and get back to what I was doing. That's exactly why I like the Canon HS-1200TS. The 12-digit display is large and easy for me to read, and the calculator itself is big enough that the buttons don't feel cramped together. When I'm checking totals, working through costs, verifying percentages, or double-checking numbers on paperwork, I can enter everything quickly without constantly hitting the wrong key. I also appreciate having business functions available when I need them. For everyday office calculations, it gives me more functionality than a tiny basic calculator without turning into something overly complicated. The size is just right for my desk. At roughly 5 x 7 inches, it's substantial enough to stay put while I'm using it but doesn't take up much workspace. Canon is also a brand I've used around offices for years, so there wasn't much of a learning curve. I put it on my desk and started using it. Could I do the same calculations on my phone? Absolutely. But when I'm working, I still prefer having a dedicated calculator within reach. It's faster, easier, and keeps me from picking up my phone every time I need to check a number.

There are some jobs that just call for a big, beefy calculator. This is the one. All the functions you need for most jobs. Big enough so that your finger doesn't accidently hit the wrong key. Durable.

This is one of the best calculators I have ever owned. The size is perfect for the desktop. The keys are perfect. I don’t see how you could order a better one!

Works perfectly

I love this calculator. Owned many over the years but nothing beats this little rascal. No batteries to change, totally solar but still with an internal battery inside. Could not believe the ease of using all the functions. Even has a built in tax + and a tax - minus auto built in. Love the buttons as absolutely no pressure is required to push them, almost like waving your finger over the keys. The real beauty of this calculator is the ability to enter up to 12 digit viewing screen with auto punctuations, commas, periods once you set the decimal point to your liking. The tax key alone is worth the cheap price of this beauty. It's amazing. For example, hit the tax + plus key, enter the amount of tax in your area, and hit the tax plus + key again. The tax function is programmed forever. So simple. All memory functions are built in. The size of this calculator is perfect for desk top use. Gone are the cheap looking black plastic models. This unit is very light weight, colorful and features a tremendous viewing screen set at a slight angel. Very large keys for a mans hands. Widely spaced no clutter. The unit has two built in front rubber pads to prevent slippage. I keep my unit on a shelf with little light without any solar charging problems from the built in top mounted solar screen. This calculator is worth 5 times what I paid for it. It's a keeper.

This is a great business calculator. All the right functions including margin and tax buttons plus a really solid and satisfying feel with each press of the buttons. I'm writing this review because I'm having to buy a replacement for the last HS-1200TS that I bought in 2015. Here we are at the end of 2023 and this calculator just died on me. I think it's mostly my fault as I mistakenly set it on my wireless phone charger and then it was dead the next day. Either that or 8 years is the life expectancy for this calculator. Either way, it was the best $9.94 I ever spent as I used this thing daily for those 8 years. I'd calculate how many pennies a week that is but my calculator is dead......

A friend said calculators are an anachronism. Why of course they are. So are electric typewriters and rotary dial land lines. I guess my 1911 crank phone that still receives calls is too. When you need to add up debits and credits in a checkbook or some other mundane arithmetic or even mathematical calculation, there is little better than a calculator and this Canon HS-1200TS if far more superior than any calculation I will ever need now. Just think that this little number cruncher will out do almost any old timey calculator at far less weight and considerably faster. I only wish I saved my Friden Rotary chuchanga-chuchanga, put on the ear plugs calculator. My desktop weighs less than it did. Long gone is my Comptometer and I miss its doorstop capabilities. My last Canon calculator did not have the multiple functions and did not have the decimal capacity either: however, it just wore out from use. This new Canon has the solar battery and meaningful functions. Frankly, many of those capabilities are of little value if the keyboard does not respond properly to a user or the amount of time is too long. Canon is perfect in this area as well as providing me with a fantastic handheld calculator. Even though the full universe of calculations resides in my desktop, I seldom use its abilities since the Canon is handy.

This is an excellent business calculator, and has features similar to printing adding machines. The switches to set the decimal, rounding, margin/memory modes are a huge upgrade to having to press toggle buttons. Having 12 digits is another upgrade over almost every other calculator on the market. The solar cell is pretty small, so hopefully the battery power will work for a while.The profit margin and grand total functions are new for me and they do make calculations much faster. I specifically bought this one for the tax feature and it's easy to set up and use. It's much bigger than similar calculators, but it's also pretty rugged, and can take some use. I've tried similar, cheaper models, and they last 3 months before the battery & solar cell die to the point of the display no longer working properly. This model, while a few dollars more, is definitely worth it. I hope to get years of use out of this calculator.

Very comfortable to use. Special accountancy buttons a great help. Big buttons aid speed entry of figures.
