I ordered this model because it has separate red ink and black ink spools of equal size. I always have hated that most machines have much smaller red ink compared to black, with the red tending to dry out long before the black was used up. It has a very solid feel with keys feeling more substantial than smaller low-voltage machines.

The product, a calculator, does not print and the display is very light; however, it does calculate, but if it is a long number, you cannot read all of it. The description given concerning the condition of the calculator was not adequate.

It operates fluidly. No sticking keys. Wonderful readout. Has a clock and a calendar. That is special. Canon always comes up with the best no matter what product bears their name. This is a tough machine, not like the rinky dink thing I had before with all the sticking keys and much less features and durability.I like the way the paper roll sits up high. I have no negatives about this calculator.
This is my second Canon calculator in 10 years. When I needed another unit, I returned to Canon! What more could I ask for -- for about $20! The spacing is perfect on the P170-DH, the feel of the keys is just right, and the bonus clock and calendar is a wonderful addition. I have to admit, I don't always use the printer, so I cannot remark how the printer holds out after 10 years of constant use, but the bright and large digits lasted more than many other brands I've used. I've had a home-based mortgage consulting company for years, the Canon units have always performed well. The reason I'm replacing my older calculator? "Missing" during a move to another city -- I guess, the movers thought it was a pretty nice device for their desk too. :)
Canon makes a rugged dependable product that will take a beating and keep on working. The P170-DH model has a large easy-to-read display and a well layed out keyboard. The handiest feature for me is the mark-up, mark-down keys. Very easy to calculate your profit either by percentage or dollar amount. If there is a weakness with this model, it probably is the power switch. After a lot of use, the contacts of the on-off switch seems to wear through the printed circuit foil, but only after a ton of use. Most other brands I've used never lasted long enough for that to be a problem.
