Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: We're definitely taking this along with us the next time we shop for a house. Though it takes a little effort to master the collection of financial worksheets available on the Texas Instruments BA II Plus, you'll be glad you invested the time and money in this fine financial calculator. The BA II Plus operates in standard calculator and worksheet modes. The standard mode lets you perform common math as well as operations involving the time value of money--that is, applications such as mortgages or annuities in which payments are equal and evenly spaced. You can also perform trigonometric functions in standard mode. The more hard-core worksheet mode includes tables for amortization, bond, depreciation, and compound interest. If you're not familiar with such calculations, the very helpful user's manual will guide you through the process. All previous worksheet values are stored in memory, so you don't have to retype all the bond maturity or cash flow analysis figures. The average user who wants to calculate a basic loan payment will be more comfortable working in the standard calculator mode. We were using the BA II Plus tools for calculating basic interest and payment periods within minutes. Still, it's good to know that the more advanced features are available for those who require heavy-duty financial computing. Finance students and average users alike will find much to like in the Texas Instruments BA II Plus. --John Frederick Moore

Customer Reviews
Good product
This is a good product, cheaper than comparables, but the buttons could work a little better...

not as good as its predecessor
No need to repeat the comprehensive reviews already posted. Two comments I wish to add:
1) more buttons, more functions = simple calculations more complicated
2) confusing display. e.g., when you amortize a debt and compute the payment amount, the answer will appear as a NEGATIVE number. (the manual confirms this)

good one
I think i really got a good deal out of this product.
price was really good with a good product support.
Amazon has always been good in delivering quality product at the proper place and also at a proper time.

Texas calculator
Works well however having trouble figuring out certain functions. Could be more user friendly.

Poor Engineering & Design
This calculator has most of the capabilities for a financial person and it is approved for professional exams, CFA. It has a nice hard cover to protect it as with most TI calcultors, except for TI BAII Plus Professional.
HOWEVER, please do not expect it to be an easy task to change the battery. You can rest assured that your calculator will get ding-ed when it comes time to change your battery.
Also, please don't expect to view the values you have entered for your variables all at once....like how you can see a bunch of values on a regular TI-83/84/89 display, because you just can't on a one line display with this calculator! And everytime you need to do a fresh calculation, it is a pain to have to hit "2nd" + "clear work" before starting because it is set up just the way it is. Aside from being the "approved" calculator you can bring to the exam, it is another piece of junk set to collect dust at the end of the day. The TI BA II Plus Professional is even worse than this; it is almost like you need to apply unimaginable high pressure force to push the buttons on the TI BA II Plus Professional calculator. So save your money and just get this regular one for the exam.
Stick with your regular TI 83/84/89 for all your non-exam use because the Financial Application has all that you need.
