Land Surveyors Cheap Used Call Girl.

Pros Functionality, affordability, program ability, memory storage. Nice case
Cons Not for Basic use, the calculator has a purpose for those whom need its functionality.
Recommended it? Yes

Hp 33s is the little red headed step child of the HP calculator family. Ever since they stopped making survey based calculators like the 48 series, this was the most affordable calculator that had the functionality I needed to complete my work.

A sad piece of design

bydtv_engineer Jul 10, 2007
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros It's the only non-graphing RPN calculator you can get.
Cons Not up to HPs standards for robust and functional design.
Recommended it? No

This is my eighth HP calculator in the past 30 years -- a 65, a 25, two 15s, an 11, two 32SIIs, and now this. I bought it because the last 32SII's keyboard died, and a non-RPN calculator just doesn't cut it. Unfortunately, if you want an RPN calculator and don't need graphing, the 33s is your only...

Pros RPN entry. (Though it will do algebraic) Durability, Toughness, Programmable, Did I...
Cons The memory dump. Can't get batteries at the 7-11.
Recommended it? Yes

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 buttons out to keep the salt out of it but I know... Read full review »

Hewlett Packard HP-33s scientific calculator

byopinionsdude Mar 19, 2008
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros RPN logic
Cons poor quality, poor key feedback, cluttered keyboard layout
Recommended it? No

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 calculator list at the time I took the EIT exam.

Great calculator - with one flaw

byjohnlemay Jul 19, 2004
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Nice size, buttons are large enough and far enough apart to prevent "fat...
Cons Decimal point needed to be larger, I miss the 8 line display on my 7000G.
Recommended it? Yes

I picked up my 33s a month or two ago to replace my aging Casio fx-7000G. Since I don't need a graphing calc any more, I went for a straight scientific model. Granted, I don't use a calculator as much as I used to when I was a student, but I still need one by my side. This is my first RPN... Read full review »

cheapest RPN calculator there is

bysbschott Jan 6, 2005
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Quick keys for engineering notation and English/Metric conversion for common units
Cons I wish the enter key was bigger. Kinda ugly.
Recommended it? Yes

I love RPN calculators, and can't imagine life with an algebraic. That being said, I've used an HP 48GX for ten years, and love it. But I never used the graphics or programming capabilities any more, and when I saw what they were selling for on eBay, I sold the dang thing.

I figured I... Read full review »

HP 33s Scientific Calculator - A Very Good Value.

byr3e2d7m5 Mar 20, 2006
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Very good value for the price.
Cons Base operations need additional functionality.
Recommended it? Yes

I have owned and used a number of different calculators over the years, and I must say that this calculator is impressive. But then HP has always made Great calculators!

The only thing I find lacking with the Base Conversions and Arithmetic are five additional functions useful for... Read full review »

Some steps forward; several steps backwards

bydfroome Jul 22, 2004
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros RPN. Entering & using fractions. Common conversions
Cons Single letter labels. No upload & download capability. Faceplate & LCD readability.
Recommended it? Yes

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. MSExcel for large statistical operations). It's the... Read full review »

Broken RPN Stack

bycitizenstyle Feb 3, 2007
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Size
Cons Batteries died, too many BS buttons, Stack is broken(therefore RPN is broken).
Recommended it? No

The title pretty much says it all. The stack works entirely wrong, and therefore, so are all of the benefits of using RPN.

Don't try and contact HP--that is a total waste of time. The site is horrific--and never the same 2 days in a row. Today they don't even have a link for tech support... Read full review »

Improved HP 33s Not that bad

bybjb6767 Nov 9, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros RPN, improved display and keyboard, large memory
Cons lack of multicharacter variable naming capability
Recommended it? Yes

The comment by volney68 about the operation of the stack is wrong, and shows a lack of understanding about how rpn operates. Read the manual, and you will understand. By definition, when you ENTER a number it is displayed in the X register and copied into the Y register. The stack lift is then... Read full review »
