EL-1801V

The Sharp EL-1801V is hands-down one of the best printing calculators I’ve used in my career. From the moment I plugged it in, I was impressed by its crisp, two-color printing and the large, easy-to-read 12-digit LCD display. Whether I’m calculating margins, reconciling accounts, or preparing reports, this calculator keeps up with my pace thanks to its fast 2.5 lines-per-second print speed. The dedicated cost/sell/margin keys are a game-changer for quick business calculations, and the One-Touch Change Calculation function is a thoughtful addition that saves time. The keys are well-spaced and responsive, making long sessions of data entry comfortable and error-free. It’s built like a tank—solid, stable, and clearly designed for heavy use. I appreciate that it uses a standard Victor IR40T ink roller, which is easy to replace and keeps maintenance simple. While it’s AC-powered and not portable, that’s a fair trade-off for the performance and reliability it offers. If you need a dependable calculator for your desk that won’t let you down, the EL-1801V is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended for accountants, office professionals, and anyone who values speed, clarity, and durability in their tools.

Perfect calculator for me! I have had this for a few months and I use it daily with no issues. The keys are big enough for my fat fingers and it feels very well made. It is easy to clean with a wet wipe or Clorox wipe also. No complaints from me.

Works great, and easy to use.

Very functional and easily accessed features with large buttons. The display is bright and easy to see. I only wish Sharp would print the instruction manual with slightly larger print and, even more, I wish they weren't so cheap on the tape roll included with the machine. Even a half size roll would be welcome. I had to laugh when I opened the box and found the tiny little roll.

This replaced a canon which I had for over 30 years. It’s perfect and easy to use. Would highly recommend. Love the green display

I needed to replace my old calculator and this one is just right. Keys are a good size and it will print out a record. Easy to use and good value for the money.

Nice machine especially for the price Only issue is buy some 2 1/4” paper because it comes with a useless mini roll only

This calculator worked great for the 10 months I've had it. Now --- and as several others have pointed out -- the printing motor does NOT stop running. It doesn't matter if you turn off printing, the motor keeps running. The calculator still functions, but the printing mechanism just keeps running, even when not printing. Did I mention it KEEPS RUNNING! Even when turned off!!! It only stops if unplugged. You can still use it, so long as you don't mind it sounding like a hair dryer even when NOT printing. This turned out to be a poor quality machine and a waste of money for having it less than a year. It's only warranted for 6 months. Do yoursel a favor and AVOID this calculator. UPDATE - I increased my rating to 4 stars. I called the company and told them about this issue. They responded by saying that they were aware of a small number of defective units with this problem and they sent me a brand new replacement. The new one is the exact same model but it now has an A/C adapter which you need to plug into the back of the calculator. The display is also a bit different in that it is more green and the numbers are larger. Not a big deal, and I'm happy with the end result.
