Customer Reviews

Disappointed
I have no idea if this is a good product or not. It did not come with batteries and I am busy and I keep forgetting to buy them when I am out, so I have never used it. For the price it should have come with batteries. That alone makes me disappointed in the product. Most calculators come with batteries or they are solar powered-why not this?

Pretty decent little thing
This is great. It does what it says, does it well, and I've had no problems.

The lid is a tad on the flimsy side, but nothing horrible.

Would like the product if it worked
I purchase one of these for my son after reading all of the great reviews. He loved it, but it stopped working after one week. You could only see the letters if you held the checker at a certain angle, otherwise you could only see rectangles where the letters should be. We returned it for a replacement and the same thing happened the second day we used it. This is for the model SA-209. I don't know if it is a quirk with this model or not. We may try our luck with a different model as it was very helpful on the few days that we could use it.
