LED Back-Light Calculator Desktop SMT-200 / Added Sound Function (White)

This item has a lot of negative reviews and was cautioned with its high return rate. It was the only battery operated calculator with a backlit display at a great price point. I took my chances and ordered one. There were many negative reviews about the backlight not working. Mine works fine. You can turn off the confirmation beep if needed. Yes, the decimal key is located in an awkward position. That was not a dealbreaker for me. I’ve had it for over a week now and it’s still working perfectly. I hope this review helps with deciding to purchase.

NICE BIG NUMBERS THAT LIGHT UP IN DISPLAY

When you turn the unit on and use it (pressing keys) it beeps. It defaults to beep on. If you turn off after using it or it times out and cuts off the beeping comes back when you turn it back on. This is annoying to me. I have to turn it off every time I go to use it. The only other CON I would say about the calculator is the location of the decimal point. It is in the upper right side of the calculator. It is a very odd place to have a decimal point.Other than that, it lights up and I can see it if I am working at my desk with low light. It is a calculator and that is about all I can say about it.

I've been so disgusted trying to read LCD calculators, and have often wondered why I can't just pay a little bit more for one that I can actually read. Finally, browsing around, I found these little beauties. They are exactly what I was looking for. First off, there is a nice backlight, which makes them easy to read. LOVE THAT! Then, they have a sound function which can be turned on or off. Personally, I love having it on so there's an audio clue whenever a button is pushed. Speaking of buttons...the buttons are HUGE, making them easy to find and easy to use. My only quibble, and it's one that I'll get used to, I'm sure, is the placement of the decimal key. It's up at the top instead of down at the bottom where I keep looking for it. Not a big deal, but moving it to the bottom would make these perfect.

Don't buy this. There is not backlight, as advertised, on this calculator. Inserted (after testing) the batteries, and nothing... zero lighting. Also difficult to get used to as the decimal point is not in a USA standard position down near the zeros (0 / 00 ). Every other calc I have ever used has it there, but not this one. Its way up near the top, just under the on/off button. The small base rubber feet pads also do not grip, allowing the device to slide all over a normal desktop. You almost have to hold it still with the other hand! Forget fast finger motions with this thing. You will be hunting for the decimal, while chasing it around the table. Piece of Chinese junk!!

I bought this because I thought, erroneously, that back lit meant the screen and the keys would be visible in a dark room so that I can still work while my granddaughter sleeps at night. The screen does light up but not the keys. Overall this is the only thing I found that I did not like about this item. The keys are spaced nicely so that you can see them in the light and not hit the wrong keys. All the functions work, it is a nice little desktop calculator for doing basic math functions.

It's light weight. Feels a bit on the cheap side BUT it works and serves it's purpose. I'm happy enough with it. I can't speak to longevity as I've only had it a few weeks

My cateracts love this calculator. I can finally correctly see the numbers with its super large nunbers and lighted screem. I've given my calculator hard daily use for months and it is still going. I'm thinking of buying another one, just to be safe, since I am so addicted to it. It was cheap and it is an awesome improvement for people with poor vision.
