I purchased this calculator for the math portion of a promotional exam at work. It's compact, lightweight and the numbers are bold. Serves its purpose well. Great purchase.

As you can see in the photo, the display is larger than a typical calculator. However, the numbers are narrower. As a negative review mentioned, there are no comma's in the display, but there is a decimal point.
I purchased the Amazon Basics calculator on the left to use at work in a distribution center to verify counts. While it worked perfectly in most instances; Sometimes I needed something smaller when I was operating certain types of equipment. That is why I ordered this Casio. It was small, inexpensive and I wouldn't cry if anything happened to it at the DC.
It is small. It is light.
If you have large fingers, you may have problems with the buttons.
Because of it's light weight, you may forget you have it in a pocket. Or forget it and lose it period.
So far it's worked perfectly for how I use it. While I need + 1 reading glasses often at work for my equipment mounted computer and RF Gun, I do not need them to read the screen on this calculator with the lighting in the warehouse.
If I were to lose this calculator, I would probably spend $2 more for the slightly larger Casio to try it out, because is seems to have a little more substance to it.
Overall, I'm happy with this calculator. It fits pretty much anywhere and is doing exactly what I bought it for perfectly.
You will have to be careful with it though. Because it's so thin and light, I doubt that it is very durable.
There are reviews about this item not being returnable. In my case, the calculator works fine and a return wasn't necessary.
Due to the cost of the calculator and shipping, I understand why it wouldn't be returnable due to "buyers remorse". However, if it arrived, wasn't working and can't be returned, that is another issue.
