Casio MX-8 Basic Calculator

My sturdy calculator of 30+ years bit the dust. To replace an old well worn friend was inevitable. However the Casio MX-8V desk calculator is contemporary, sleek with big buttons and a solar powered unit along with batteries and very nice to use. It's exactly what I require!

What do you need from a calculator?

Great quality

Big buttons

A big display

Feet to stop it skidding over the desk!

And blindingly simple to use

Well the Casio MX-8 is all of that an more. Far better than you get in the shops and at a very reasonable price indeed! I bought 4, should have bought 6!!

I bought this calculator to work out VAT. It has large a keyboard and readout, great for us with less than perfect eyesight.
I chose the Casio MX-8 because I have used Casio in the past and never had any problems with them.
I would recomend this to anyone looking for a reliable well made easy to use calculator.

I bought three of these basic calculators recently. One for the workshop and two to have around the house. They are so inexpensive and convenient to use with a big clear display, photo cell power and battery back up. The only problem I have come across is down to me and not the calculator, one of the functions eludes me. That's the MU key, I don't know what it does or how it works and the instructions were no help. But it matters little because If I don't know what it does, I don't need it!

I bought this because i liked the clear and well laid out keyboard. Also the large display. it is very easy to use, and has all the basic calculations plus square root and percentage. The only thing i did not like was the lack of auto off, you have to remember to switch off.
If all you require is a basic calculator then you cant go wrong with the Casio for under a tenner

Great simple to use calculator with basic (not scientific) functions, big buttons and a clear screen, cannot fault it.

It's a calculator...and it works. Postage charges - Good. Arrived in good time. Very standard item. Perfect for everyday book keeping, bought this to use at college.
Good stuff.

I wanted to buy a calculator as a present for my brother. This worked well and was fairly priced. I was disappointed by the packaging which I had to chuck away before wrapping up the present. It was so clearly second hand and well used.
