I have been using an HP-12c calculator since 1971.

Verified Purchase:Yes
My 1971 HP-12c was finally retired a couple of years ago. Its only problem was the "2" button was faulty. I had purchased a "Platinum HP-12c" about three years ago to replace my original 12c. The pillow switches below the keys failed right away. By that time HP quit servicing the calculators. Stupidly, I bought another Platinum 12c and it too was defective in just months. I could not survive without a trusty HP 12-c and bought another one of the original 12-c design just recently. It seems to work alright and my fingers are crossed that it will finally take its place as the reliable HP calculator that was my side kick for so many years.
the buttons on my old hp12C platinum stopped responding after 12 years of almost daily use. replaced with a new one recently and so far so good. it is my favorite calculator and didn't even consider getting a different one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the HP 12C Financial Programmable Calculator to replace my boyfriend's 25+ year old calculator of the same model. His old calculator's #5 key was working intermittently. The new calculator was a big hit and made his day :-) The ordering and shipping process went well too. Thanks for being such a great U.S. company!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced my 1980+ hp. Some keys on my old 12c started sticking. It was time to retire it and treat myself to a new one. Would not want to be without it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got one right when they came out in 1981 for school. It was perfect easy to use and actually worked to perfection for me. Then because of old age they stopped working. I tried to use calculators online but the feel was just not there. I am so happy that I made the plunge and bought a brand new hp 12c.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best financial calculator! Ease of use! Calculates loan interest, payments stream, and compounds interest! Would have no other!
