Not up to HP standards

Date of Review:  Sep 24, 2005
Review: I purchased one of these and found that the buttons do not make that satisfying clicking sound so you know you hit the button. The split 4 way button just below the display is awkward and feels loose. I wish HP would make another 11C for engineers...

perfect... except the decimal point !!!

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2005
Review: This calculator is really good, the small enter key is absolutely not a problem, and it seems to be very solid.
There are a lot of functions, and the two-lines display is really pleasant.
The calculator is quite bigger than the 32 sII, but...

Tough as nails

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2007
The Bottom Line: Best shirt pocket calculator I've ever seen.
Review: I love this calculator. I bought it because I needed an expendable RPN calculator to carry in my shirt pocket. It doesn't measure up to my 48GX but then ,what does? I carried the 33S all year doing Asphalt work. I tried to be faithful in carrying it...

HP 33S

Date of Review:  Aug 31, 2005
Review: Of all the hp calculators I have owned, this is the worst for
just for one reason. It is extremely hard to see the decimal point. The characters are large but theie is just one barely
decernable tick for the decimal point. You will forever...

hp 33s

Date of Review:  Nov 3, 2005
Review: I bought this calculator because it was the only RPN calculator still in production that was acceptable for the NCEES Exams.

This calculator has some unforgivable problems. For instance, in RPN mode, you would expect the sequence...

Poor quality

Date of Review:  Jun 16, 2006
Review: I have had only 2 HP calculators over the last 25 years, the 10c and the 41c. Both were fantastic. I do not like the 33s.

Namely:

The 33s keys are too stiff. Mine miss keys the numbers frequently, either not being recorded, or...

HP Calculators Changing for the Worst

Date of Review:  Mar 29, 2005
Review: As a senior aerospace engineer I have been using HP calculators my entire career. I've been using an HP32s for the past eight years and it has been the greatest. However, I recently decided to keep my HP32s at home and buy the new HP33s for work. I...

Hewlett Packard HP-33s scientific calculator

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: No question the HP-33s is the worst HP calculator I've ever used. Get a much better built HP-35s instead for about $10 more.
Review: This a major departure from HP calculators of yore when HP offered unparalled quality and functionality. I bought it for the EIT exam and would not have bought it were it not for the fact it was the only RPN calculator on the NCEES approved...

Some steps forward; several steps backwards

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2004
Review: Foremost, I like using the RPN (reverse polish notation) calculating system. I've used HP 21 and HP42S, so I wanted the HP33S to work for me.
HP has crammed a lot on features into a calculator, many of them I would rather do on a PC (eg...
