I have owned my Casio DF-120TE for about 2 years now. I can guess what your saying, a calculator is a calculator . . . which to most people it is, but I use this for work, around 2000 key strokes a day, so I need a solid one, and one that I can trust.

I'm sure we've all had times when we've entered in our calculation, and the answer has appear, which is complete rubbish, sometime due to human error, but mainly because the calculator has not recognized the key stroke. This one is solid, and accurate though. It has hard plastic buttons, not the soft ones which lead to a lot of mistakes, and the buttons are well spaced.

Another key feature is the Tax- and Tax+ buttons. A lot of the time I have a price which I need to add VAT to, or take VAT off of, and I know the calculation is not difficult, but it's a whole to easier if you can just type in the value, and then hit one key!, simple. There are even another key which you can use for specific -/+ in the same way. or instance at work, to get from a cost price, to a retail price, the value has to be timesed by 2.35. To get from retail to cost, you times the value by 0.4256. again, not complicated, but it's a lot more simple with the Casio!

As far as bad points, I haven’t found any, I really haven’t!, it's solid, works well, solar power and battery, switches it ‘self off after 5 minutes, you can specify how many decimal places to be shown on screen, perfect.!!

It cost only £20, but that was almost two years ago, and i beleive it's fantastic value.
