Canon - P23-DH Basic Calculator Review

I'm the one in the household that takes care of all of the finances.  I am constantly balancing the checkbook and writing out the bills.  It was when I had to start handling all of my father's financial affairs that I realized that the small manual calculator I was using wasn't going to be able to do the job.  I really needed to have printouts of the calculations to keep with my father's records so I finally purchased the Canon P23-DH III Basic Calculator for $19.99.  This calculator was perfect for my needs.

The Facts

• Large display and contoured key tops
• 12-digit capacity, mini-desktop size
• Dual power supply
• Print Option (two-color printing)

My Experience 

This compact calculator displays large, clear numbers and the keys are just the right size so that errors are minimized and I can get my work done faster.  The printing feature is one that is a must for me.  The numbers print boldly in black and red depending on the calculation you choose.  I especially like that there is a calendar and a clock built right in and you can print out the date and time on your calculation.  This calculator comes with many features that at this time I don't use like "cost", "sell", "margin", "tax-", "tax+".  Who knows though, maybe in the future they may be features I will use.  At this time I am content with using only the basic functions.  My AC Adapter just recently bit the dust and I am relying on the four double A batteries that I inserted.  Luckily this machine has a really cool feature where it turns itself off when sitting idle for over 7 minutes.  I am not sure what happened to the adapter or how much a replacement costs but, for $19.99 and owning this compact calculator for over three years, I think I got my money's worth.

My Final Viewpoint   

The Canon P23-DH III Basic Calculator is an inexpensive and very useful product that I have used more times than I can count.  I recommend it and am giving it a 4 star rating.
