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

This review is for the SECOND version of this calculator, the slightly-larger, grey, BLACK and white model, with a rounded "mound" housing the keypad. I had actually ordered the older model -- the light-grey model, with the blue and white keys, slightly smaller, which I had had previously, but sadly lost. I had considered returning this newer model, but finally decided against it, as it is now listed as being discontinued by the manufacturer, so -- if I returned the newer one I did get, I very well might have gotten the same model back..........
I was, at first, extremely disappointed in the newer model. (Why both the newer model and the older model -- which look COMPLETELY DIFFERENT -- have the VERY SAME MODEL NUMBER is completely beyond me. I mean, people who work at Texas Instruments are supposed to be very intelligent and know what they are doing....but why they decided to give to truly different calculators the same model number is something I don't think I'll ever understand. I mean...what kind of "genuis" makes this very simple mistake? (one who wants to fool online and catalogue buyers, who have to trust that the packers will pack the right model, perhaps>)
That said, this NEWER model -- though larger and more-than-slightly bulkier than the older one -- does have a few advantages....I think.
I don't remember the older model having a "tax+" or "tax-" or "rate" key, nor do I remember it having a battery backup, as the newer model does.
This newer model has a nice little compartment for the battery, which need only be opened with a single screw. So, the entire back of the calculator need not be taken off -- with the slight dangers, therein, of getting dust into the machine, or disturbing the delicate circuitry, in the half a minute or so, that it takes to change the battery. With a neat little separate oompartment for the battery changing, the rest of the back of the machine need not be disturbed at all!
This is all the more important, as more and more calculators, sadly, are made with "no user-replaceable batteries" enclosed, (no -- one is instructed, in these other, still newer calculators, to take them to the nearest authorized repair shop, of the designated manufacturer -- and have them replaced there, like wrist-watch batteries! First wrist-watches, now calculators! Talk about planned obsolence! (Buy even this newer model 1795SV, and keep it close!)
Although the newer model 1795sv has a "wrap-around, windshield" numberical display, (instead of what is to me, the far more esthetically pleasing and clearer, "picture-frame" numberical display, found in the older model 1795sv), the numbers still are well-spaced and clear to view. It also has the nice, l a r g e numberic display, which is not only on this newer model 1795SV, but also on the older model 1795SV.....and also on the belated, dearly loved, and sadly lost original Texas Instrument "1795" model, (no "sv"), which I once had, and enjoyed more than both of the "1795sv" models put together! (It was small, handy, and a beautiful medium-bone-yellow in colour. It also seemed to stay on FOREVER -- pr at least an hour or so, if I remember correctly. Oh, that Texas Instruments would bring THAT model back, sigh!)
Well, this NEW m0del 1795SV -- though NOT the older, handier model 1795SV, nor the original model 1795 -- still has many good points, most of which are delineated above. It is also a desk-top model which can be carried in a pocket-book, if necessary -- and also in a briefcase, but not in a wallet. It is bigger than the two previous models in the Texas Instrument 1795 line...but does have that priceless customer-replacable battery chamber. Although I do prefer the previous two models, this newer one, now available, is not a bad little calculator, all things considered.
But I would still welcome, (greatly!), the return of the original 1795 model, and/or the original 1795sv.

I had a more expensive TI calculator (business version model BA 20) on my desk that alwyas needs bright light to operate -- but has more functions. My wife has had this one for years, and I kept "robbing it" since it works in low light, is simple, has large keys and is easy to use. It's a perfect little calculator. Love it.

My old calculator's number lights went out--3 or 8, 1 or 7, 4 or 9? But I liked it's size and shape so I searched for a similar one. This is almost the same except--much better!! The keys and numbers are larger, it has more operations, and does a neat trick: the first number and operation entered become a temporary constant. Like 2+2=4; 3=5; 4=6. Well worth the mere $15 to get it to my door. Made me glad the old one broke!

If you need a calculator that prints, this is not the calculator for you. However, if you need a handy sized, easy to read, solar calculator...this is a good one. It does everything that I want a calculator to do at work. It can figure %. I never use these features, but it can figure tax rates and has memory (mrc, m-, m+). The buttons are big enough. I would buy this model again.
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.
