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.

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.

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.

So disappointed in this purchase. Chinese writing all over box And instructions. Finally saw two little lines telling what to do for operation. I ordered because of poor Eyesite and expected it to light up numbers so I could see but light is barely on and shuts off right away. I won't bother sending it back, Probably throw it out. I scanned all the LED calculators and they all lock the same. I needed one that advertised "lighted" and this is a 1 out of 10. 10 being worst.

NICE BIG NUMBERS THAT LIGHT UP IN DISPLAY

As advertised . quick and easy shipping.

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
