Advantages: Simple and Easy to use
Disadvantages: None......yet

...----------------------------Background Information--------------------------- I bought the Sharp EL-531VH calculator many years ago from my school maths tuck shop. It was on sale there as we needed it for our lessons therefore were persuaded to buy it. I have had it since then and it has been over 6 years and it is still absolutely fine, mind you my chemistry teacher has had a computer since he was teaching pupils since the ancient times and his is still working so this calculator has been beaten.

New batteries and all was fine. I don't know every single function, and it took a while to learn most of the ones I needed but I have a good grip now, and did by about Year 10. Simple to use once you know how, but also does everything I have ever asked it to. What's great is that you can go back and edit equations without retyping them. It was the one my previous school recommended, and when I changed in Year 8 I was recommended a new one, by Sharp, but I kept this one, and never struggled with it. Mine didn't have a reset button when the Sharps did. But mine never needed to be reset, whereas the Sharps did.... Read review
