5.0 out of 5 stars Seems Sturdy, Needs +/- button (Key)

2026-02-02    -gary green

Seems to be pretty sturdy. I bought this with the foreknowledge that it lacked a +/- key, but i wished it had one. The keyboard seems to be full and lacks space for another keylike a +/- key, so i do not know how they would add one if they wanted to. I haven't had any problems with it so far. The numbers on the screen are large enough. The keys are a nice size and the space between them is good. Oh, I just figured out how to add a +/- key without messing up the key board arrangement: The + key actually consists of and takes up the space of two buttons. So, just reduce the size of the + key to the same as the other keys and add a +/- key. That would probably violate the industry standard of having the + key larger than the rest for faster addition or something. This calculator might be small enough to fit in a woman's purse but is not small enough or slim enough to be pocket calculator. Oh, just thought of something: Could be carried inside a men's briefcase or backpack. Ha Ha.

But after all it is a Canon...

It is rather small and that makes it expensive compared to similar units for same money!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tiny but great

I have a larger Business edition Canon that I’ve had for years and really like and use a lot. The problem is that everyone else likes it too and it is never on my desk where it is supposed to be!So I thought I would try this little one and put it out as bait. It is small, simple and cute. It is smaller than I realized it would be as the entire thing fits in my hand. However it is great for carrying around and using wherever you may need it. It is also easy to move around amongst stacks of papers and receipts on your desk. The little drawback that I’ve found is that it’s smaller buttons are harder to use as fast as larger ones. It is kind of like going from typing on a full sized keyboard to using one on a small laptop. You trade a little finger room for portability.If you have big fingers you probably will feel like your doing calculations in your smartphone, otherwise this is a great little calculator from Canon. It even works well in dim lighting situations. Often the brightness of my computer screen alone will power its tiny solar cell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite of all time!

This is by far my favorite calculator of all time. I have used many over the years and this one is so easy to use. Plus, with the solar I've never had to worry about if it would work. I ordered this for our company mail room after using one for 10 years with no issues. Absolutely love it!

NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REFUND

Look at the dimensions "4.25 x 3.25 x 1.5 inches". The packing slip shows "Minidesk calculator". The product pic was larger. No reference to "mini". My phone with a calculator is larger than this. Taken by seller. Heads up.

This thing is tiny, not like the one I had growing up. It's definitely pocket size and will work well for me taking it to the store as planned, works fine, love the solar or battery option. Batteries will cost you about three bucks to replace for this unit so beware that, it does not take double or triple a batteries, takes button cell, though with the solar, I'm guessing about once a year having to replace the internal battery. Good deal overall, I love the little thing. I have small hands this might be a problem for really big hands.

I first saw the CANON LS-82z calculator at my local bank. Itwas anchored to a table, so no one would take it, and wasthere for people to tally up deposits and/or withdrawals. It isso little, so useful, so -- well, cute -- that I found myselfanthropomorphizing it, (that is, turning an innanimate objectinto something which is living...at least in my imagination,and falling completely in love with the adorable littlecalculator at first sight, (and use!). I wanted so much to takeit home with me, (as a calculator -- AND pet!) Perhaps it'sdue to the fact that I live in a no-pet building that helpedfoister these, er....feelings in me, but the fact is that it ISa rather small and compact little calculator, (only 3.5 x 4.5 x1.2 inches in size), has easy-to-use hard, (but not too hard)plastic keys, and a nice big 8-digit display! It also seemedjust the right size fit in my hand...though, of course, tetheredas it was to the table in the bank, I couldn't try it out. No --I did NOT hear the little calculator say, "Take me home with you!"-- but it was fun to IMAGINE it was saying this. I also knew thebank had probably searched very carefully to find the right modelcalculator to put on the bank table. So -- with this free advicethat this was a good calculator, (which the bank had unknowinglygiven me -- and every other bank customer!), and my own immediateliking to it -- though I knew I couldn't take the bank's modelhome with me, I did the next best thing: I wrote down the modelnumber, and looked for it on the internet. Sure enough -- therethe calculator I had seen in the bank, (or maybe one of it'sfirst or second cousins!), was there on Amazon! Immediately, Iliberated....er, that is, bought...two of them, hoping, (in myimagination, that is), that these little calculators would finda happy home in my condo!When the calculators arrived, I took one out of its proteciveplastic casing, and immediately put the number "107734" on it.Then I turned the calculator upside down. As with any calculator,the word "heLLO!" appeared on the screen. (There's a whole bookof these calculator tricks, which I mean to look up on Amazonas at the earliest opportunity!)Well, the little Canon LS=82z does fit nicely in the palm of myhand, and works just as well in my home, as it does at thebank. The keys are HARD plastic -- which means they do NOT getsoft and difficult to use after a while. However, "hard" doesnot mean "difficult" here -- the keys are a pleasure to use!They are small enough to keep the size of the calculator down,but big enough for adult hands to use. And -- this IS a solarAND battery calculator. You can always test this on any calcu-lator. Just be sure the calculator is on, and showing numbers.Then put your finger over the solar-battery panel. If thenumbers fade, then the calculator is a solar-powered calculator,only. If they do not fade, then obviously a battery is in thecalculator, too -- as is the case here.It's true this calculator has only a three-key memory, and somepeople find this a great inconvenience. To me, it's only a veryminor inconvenience, and one I can easily live with. The "change-sign" (from plus to minus, or vice versa), key is strangely printedon the same key as "%". Sadly, there seems no way to use the"change sign" function, as directions are not given on the back ofthe package, and there are no other directions given. I don'tchange the sign, often -- so again, this is a minor inconvenience,for me. But if you must change signs from plus to minus, or viceversa, often, I sadlty must suggest you "adopt" another calculator.The biggest disappointment, though, is that, although this ISpowered by a battery, (presumably a button model), as well as solarpower, THERE ARE ONLY TWO SCREWS, ON TOP, IN THE BACK OF THECALCULATOR. This means that it's all but impossible to take thebattery out, and one will be left, eventually, with the choice ofeither using this as only a solar calculator, or getting anothercalculator altogether. A mean thing to do to both calculator...and user.Still, I plan to use and enjoy my litte LS-82z. And if I anthropor-morphize once in a while, what of it? Sometime back, an entireTV show, ('WONDERFALLS'), was based on this idea of anthropormorph-ism. It stayed on the air only a short time...but during thattime, made money for everyone connected in its production!
