Designed by the legendary Dietrich Lubs and Dieter Rams, it is a beautiful little adding machine that feels absolutely delightful in the hand and is a pleasure to use. " to paraphrase Dieter Ram's "Weniger, aber besser"Also, some people complained it is ‘Made in China'.

For those who feel the price is too high for a mere calculator I would suggest buying something cheaper as this one is probably not for you. As other reviewers noted, if you want a simple number-crunching calculator you can buy smaller and more powerful ones at a fraction of the price at your local stationary store. The media could not be loaded. This would have required no change in the plastic case as there is a lot of empty space within the frame where the existing LCD display sits and so they could have increased the display size by approx.

If you are in the market for this sort of thing, then it is well done, and likely to be appreciated for years to come. If you are a fan of the minimal functional and modern aesthetic of Dieter Rams and his time at Braun then this is a treat. Also, there are four tiny little ‘feet' on the back of the calculator.
It is really a delight to hold in the hand and use, with it's ribbed back and sides and beautifully tactile little buttons. The other two are plastic and so they don’t help with slippage when used on a desk.
Even if you don’t enjoy maths you will enjoy using this calculator. And so it is with the Braun ET66 calculator. Having said all that, pretty much all the calculators I grew up with had a more pleasant heft than the more flimsy modern versions.
