Though the problem on the second was not quite as bad as on the first, it still happened, essentially making this calculator worthless. After reporting this, HP asked that I return both calculators (at my expense, of course), and a week or so thereafter they called to tell me that after extensive testing, they found no problem whatsoever, that NO keystrokes were ever missed. After an argument with their tech service people, they reluctantly agreed to send me yet another unit, at their expense (this was like pulling teeth). Well guess what - this third unit does indeed miss keystrokes, worse, it seems than the second unit they sent. But the people at HP vehemently deny that they have EVER had a complaint about this before mine, that this has NEVER happened with these calculators, to their knowledge, etc. THEY ARE LYING! They HAVE to be, one can find all sort of tales of missed keystrokes with this unit all over the internet. So what can I do? Probably nothing, beyond writing this little review. And urging everybody to STRONGLY RECONSIDER buying this calculator, or any other product from a company that seems to play so fast and loose with the truth!. And summed up by saying Keystrokes do not register = worthless calculator!!!. Currently HP 17BII+ Financial Calculator has an overall rating of 6 over 10.
