I don’t think I realized how much I relied upon my trusty calculator of the last 10 years until it finally died on me a couple weeks ago. Amazingly, It was just a cheap one, from a discount tool supply company, but I really liked it for it’s size, button style and ease of use. I first tried to replace the same model, but could only find it on a couple of obscure sites with outrageous shipping costs, so I knew I had to start fresh and find a different one. I also didn’t realize how ‘calculator-picky’ I apparently am until I started looking at all the calculators on Amazon. I didn’t want a small pocket style because both the buttons and display are just too small to use comfortably at my desk, but neither did I want a jumbo desk-size one because I also want to throw it in my purse for grocery shopping. This Casio MS-80B was one of only several I found in a mid-range size, small enough to put in my purse, large enough to use at my desk. It measures about 5 1/2 inches top to bottom and about 4 inches wide.
There were a few other features I wanted, which I found in this model. I wanted one with either battery only or solar with battery back-up. I don’t care for solar-only ones because they tend to fade if the light isn’t bright enough, at least in my experience. And I wanted it to have an OFF button, which is strangely hard to find on solar/battery-combo models, I’m not sure why. Yes, it shuts off automatically after being idle (about 6 minutes with this model), but I personally like to shut it off when I’m done. Maybe it’s one of my OCD traits, but I can’t stand leaving it there and waiting for it to shut off. So this does have an OFF button. I’m also button-picky! I hate the kind with rubber/soft/grippy buttons that can be hard to press and are silent. I like to hear a little clicking and clacking as I punch in my numbers, and this has hard plastic buttons and a soft but audible tapping sound; perfect. It registers entries easily and consistently with a fairly light touch.
One feature I don’t love, but will deal with, is the % use. My old calculator worked liked this: 30 – 10 (% button) = 27. With this Casio, that same scenario requires: 30 x 10 (% button) then – (minus button) = 27. Alternatively, you can hit the + (plus button) at the end of the same equation to add that percentage; meaning 30 x 10 (% button) + (plus button) = 33. Additionally, you can see the amount of the percentage before you hit + or -, in this example; 3. So it’s not a bad thing, it’s actually more detailed this way, but it’s a few extra/different buttons in the equation and it will take a little getting used to, but I’ll adjust to it and it’s worth it to have all the other features that are more important to me.
Quick note about the orange buttons: C clears the last entry only, and AC clears everything. There is also a backspace button (the arrow button in the top row) that backspaces one digit, which is very handy. 1234 (backspace button) becomes 123. I’ve never had that feature on a calculator and I like it. It also shows commas in larger numbers, which is nice. I can’t speak on the memory buttons or tax features because I have no use for either and know nothing about them. It comes with a small pamphlet which I couldn’t fairly call a manual that does show some basics, but nothing very detailed.
I saw at least one review that mentioned it wobbles and/or is unstable on the desk. I don’t find this to be true to any bothersome extent. There is a SLIGHT wobble when I hit the OFF button only which is at the upper left corner, but by then I’m shutting it off so who cares. The wobble may vary on each calculator made, I can’t say, but for me it’s not the least bit bothersome.
The display numbers are fairly large and the contrast is excellent. The overall look is nice, with a brushed metal back panel on the front and a sleek design with a fixed tilted display. Other than getting used to the new way of using the percentage button and the lack of a decent manual, I really have no complaints, and I’m admittedly very picky with calculators. Oh, one last thing to mention: Apparently the photo for this model used to appear incorrectly, based on many reviews I’ve read. The model I received was the same as what was shown, which is Casio MS-80B. You can confirm this by looking at the model # on the unit pictured to make sure it’s correct, but Amazon has apparently corrected whatever wrong model used to be pictured.

I got it for my friend and he is happy to use it. It is firm and working after a few tough hits.

Perfect size: big enough and small enough and the numbers are large enough to easily read.

This popped on to my screen as I was shopping for a more complex machine but it sounded like a good solution for basic calculation tasks and it is. One of my concerns is clarity of the number screen due to some vision loss and this seems readable. The basic key functions are easy to use. I spent significant time making sure this was the best calculator in terms of key visibility too. The white numbers on the black keys are very readable. It is a combo of battery and solar which I like. It meets all my needs in function and readability at a decent price point. It has an “off” switch, a bonus that other reviews alerted me to as well.

I just received and used this calculator, and it’s a steal. It replaces a much pricier HP 12C Platinum Calculator, which I’d gotten about five years ago when I needed the more advanced functions. I’d bought two of the HP 12C’s, to have one as backup, and they were nothing like the 12Cs of before — the keys malfunctioned on both of the 12Cs within just 25-50 uses (sticking and more often, not registering at all) and there was no easy fix. I’ve been tolerating them for the last few years, assuming that was just how calculators were made these days, but finally had enough.
I just need basic calculator functions now, and for that, the Casio MS-80B is perfect. The interface is incredibly user friendly, the keys work flawlessly (so far), the display is large and clear, and the solar power is a bonus.
I also wanted to clear up several question re: the MS-80B’s keypad functions. This model does indeed have both an ‘off’ key and a delete/backspace key, which prior reviews said this calculator doesn’t have. The picture currently displayed on Amazon’s official product page (as of this review, 6/21/15) is wrong and shows model MS-80S, which lacks these two functions. It’s possible that prior reviewers got the wrong model (?).
The MS-80B has both an off key and a delete/backspace key, which sit on the top row of the keypad. The backspace key looks like a right-pointing arrow. I’ve attached a photo of the MS-80B so you can see for yourself.
In sum, this is a great basic calculator, for an amazing price. I did a quick search of the other basic models available on Amazon, and this appears to be the best in terms of value, build, and reviews. I can’t speak to its long-term durability, but for this price, I don’t think you can go wrong!
4/7/16 UPDATE: This calculator is used at least weekly and is still going strong. I especially love the large buttons and display, and the solar power. I highly recommend this calculator for anyone who doesn’t need advanced functions – from a quality perspective, it easily outperforms my high-end financial HPs (the HPs look more premier, but as I mentioned previously, the models as currently made fail quickly).

Top D+ , atenção na forma de porcentagem, pois ela faz cálculo reverso , ao invés de 100 + 25% = 125 , vc precisa usar o X , 100 X 25%.
