I love this calculator's versatility! It is programmable and is a must-have if you are taking any Land Surveying or Engineering tests. Just don't leave it on the dashboard of your truck like I did my last one. :-( They don't like excessive heat. Get one!!!
I buy these for all of my field hands they are the best calculators on the market for surveyors (field engineers) in the industrial construction work place. I use to use the 32s until it was replaced with the 33s. I just hope HP comes up with something better than the 35s to replace the 33s. The 35s is not as user friendly as the 33s or the 32s. I've been using the 32 and 33 for ten years and the 33s is a really great product.
This is a nice calculator. The buttons have a nice touch to them as compared to 35s which never liked from day one. The enter button is in a strange place but I'm getting used to it. Your model 32S II was the best though. Please bring back or can I send in for repair?
HP finally got it and redesigned the 33S for a visible decimal point and better recognition of the digits. My old HP-33S (which died after 3 years due to a stuck keypad number) was not as reliable for battery life, numeric and decimal recognition. And of course the fact that you can lose all the programming if the batteries die or are not replaced quickly. But it is better than the HP35S which has the poor feature of STO/RCL on the same key (shift for one).
Nice calculator. But what I really wanted was a new HP33E. Now there was a super tool. Had all the essential functions, some programmability and not too complicated to use. To bad the 8 and 6 keys wore out. The 33s is very complex and if you do not use it all of the time you may need to relearn it often.
I gave this calculator a 4 on all three fields because it is not as user friendly as you would expect from HP. Having been a HP 48 user I was, frankly, disappointed with the performance of this model. the keys have been moved all over the place, which is not a huge problem, it just takes a little getting used to. The biggest gripe I have, is the poor manipulation of the stack. It olnly has 4 lines to the stack if you enter one more line (5th line) you will loose the entry at the top, this is a problem, specially if you are solving a very long, complex equation. Being able to store several items in the stack for immediate use is one of the best things the HP48 has to offer, that advantage seems to have been lost with the HP 33. Although, once you get used to the 4 line stack, it is still a very helpfull feature. Compare to any TI or Casio (comparable model #), the HP in my humble opinion is a better calculator. Compared to its biggest brothers, in the HP family, it has a lot of room for improvement.
I have used this calculator continuously for about 4 years and the buttons are worn out and don't function very well. I don't like the layout of the keypad and the Enter button is in the wrong place. I used to have a 42s which HP doesn't make anymore and it was a great calculator. The keypad of the 42s was laid out in a much more logical fashion and it performed a lot better. The screen on the 33s doesn't display the decimal point well and it can be easily confused with a coma. The 33s is O.K. but you will be looking for a new one in a couple of years.
Unfortunately the display and small keys with triple data are both difficult to read for the over 40 set. To make much use of it I had to tilt the calculator at a certain angle and have the lighting just right to easily read the keys and display - other wise it was work. A graphing or $12 calculator does not have this difficulty. If I were 20 and an engineer this would be quite good but I would still using a programmable graphing. As a math professor I have used most types of calculators and would say this has very limited appeal but consider the rpn feature fun. So if you need a lot of horsepower in a small light package, don't need graphing, and have young eyes this is great. Some of the more expensive hp graphing cases are very poor quality (china low end) and the displays are the early lcd which are again hard to read. Aloha,
The action on the buttons are terrible. For whatever reason the location of the buttons feel totally wrong and I seem to always punch in the wrong numbers and functions. I hate the calculator. Bring back the HP 15. That was a beautiful calculator. Big buttons and a big ENTER bar
Time to buy a new one after just 2.5 years on a desk. The decimal point & "8" keys work intermittently. The springback device seems to have worn out - those keys jiggle when you rock it back & forth. Not the quality I had in my rugged old "Made in the USA" HP-21 & HP-33E - they lasted >10 years. My HP-11c (sideways kind) lasted 15 years in a shop environment. This one seemed kinda cheesy-plasticky when it was new - I guess first impressions are correct. Good Price & Quick delivery from Wally World online, though. I think I'll get another model (HP 35s) from here again.
