The Braun ET66 calculator is considered to be the pinnacle for its simplicity, rectangular design with convex and circular buttons. Manufacturer's Description About BraunBraun is known for design-driven innovations. Braun’s minimalist, clean aesthetic, introduced by one of the renowned German designer Dieter Rams, was built around the brand ethos - less, but better. Rams and his colleague Dietrich Lubs launched a range of functional timepieces based on the established visual language that made Braun products one of the iconic.In recent years this range has been re-established and revived, updated to bring the past forward. Made to last from reliable and durable raw materials, Braun watches and clocks are designed and built with a focus on quality and precision. Box Contains Braun calculator Review: A GORGEOUS CALCULATOR - 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. Even your average smartphone contains a free calculator app more powerful than this! So, why would anyone spend good money on an old 1980s design? Well, although the majority of people are quite sensible and practical - and would be aghast at parting with a good chunk of hard earned cash on an anachronism such as the Braun ET66, there is a daft minority who tend to have a more tactile and romantic interaction with the world around them. Such people prefer to use beautiful and dedicated tools and instruments designed to perform single functions efficiently - analog wrist watches, manual cameras, compasses, thermometers, torches etc. rather than having everything jammed into their phone. And so it is with the Braun ET66 calculator. 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. Even if you don’t enjoy maths you will enjoy using this calculator. I have given it a 5 Star review because I like it so much, however, I do have some minor criticisms, which have been mentioned elsewhere. I think Braun should have made the display bigger for this reissue. I know it is a replica of a 1980s design (and LCD screens were expensive back then) but I don’t think anyone would have complained about a bigger screen. 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. 30% with no compromise on the design. Also, there are four tiny little ‘feet' on the back of the calculator. But strangely only two are rubber. The other two are plastic and so they don’t help with slippage when used on a desk. Both these criticisms are a case of "less is ‘not' better." to paraphrase Dieter Ram's "Weniger, aber besser" Also, some people complained it is ‘Made in China'. But so much of what we buy nowadays is made over there and the standards and quality control are infinitely higher than they were even a decade or so ago. Also, from what I have read, the original was actually ‘Made in Hong Kong' but perhaps someone else can confirm that. The Braun ET66 is made from high quality plastics and though it is lightweight (same as the original) it feels extremely well made and designed to last. It is really a delight to hold in the hand and use, with it's ribbed back and sides and beautifully tactile little buttons. in fact it works less as a desktop calculator than a handheld calculator as the angle to view the display seems much better then. It is similar in size to my iPhone 7 and sits just as comfortably in the hand. I would highly recommend thos calculator to those who love good design and enjoy using well made, dedicated tools for specific jobs. 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. Braun Calculator - Black Review: A Small Object of Desire - I remember seeing this in the British Design Museum in the late-Eighties and knew that I had to have one. I loved it back then until I moved abroad and the calculator stayed in the UK (I have no idea whatever became of it). Recently I became tired of having to go to the calculator app on my mobile countless times per day and so decided it was time to invest in an old-fashioned calculator once again. I had no idea that the Braun had been discontinued at some point, or that it had been re-issued recently. Buying it again was a bit of an extravagance when I could have walked into any store and picked up a cheap calculator that performs exactly the same function for a tenth of the price, but I still love the Braun. It's a testament to its beautiful, minimalistic design that it still looks as modern today as when it was first launched getting on for three decades ago (especially as it dates back to the Eighties - the decade that style forgot!) In summary, it's definitely a far from essential purchase, but it's a beautiful and useful desk accessory that tells anyone that sees you with it that you are a man or woman of taste and distinction for owning one. ## Features - Current replica of the original Braun ET66 Calculator - 8 digit operating capacity - Automatic power off - Protective slide cover ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DUDU2Q6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 90,977 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 116 in Basic Calculators | | Brand | Braun | | Brand Name | Braun | | Calculator Type | Standard Function | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 462 Reviews | | Display Type | Other Accessory | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04007218660305 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 14L x 8W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Other Accessory | | Item Weight | 0.17 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Zeon | | Manufacturer Part Number | Bne 001 Bk | | Model Name | BNE001BK | | Model Number | BNE001BK | | Number of Batteries | 1 LR44 batteries required.

Braun Calculator - Black ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Small Object of Desire *by N***L on 30 December 2014* I remember seeing this in the British Design Museum in the late-Eighties and knew that I had to have one.

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. Rams continued a rather Bauhaus look, that is still carried forward by Muji and Apple, so this is a piece of history that continues to resonate. In terms of the calculator, it is pretty much what you see is what you get, the layout is crisp and clear, the device is pleasantly tactile with well spaced rounded keys, and ribbed sides. I have uploaded some photos of the new version with an old one I bought on eBay, they are near identical. The plastic might be slightly less heavy and slightly more brittle, but if so the difference is marginal. The calculator comes attractively packaged in a nice presentation box, aping the presentation of iPods and iPhones when you get them. 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. Having said all that, pretty much all the calculators I grew up with had a more pleasant heft than the more flimsy modern versions. ## Frequently Bought Together - Braun BNE001BK Braun Calculator - Black - Foppapedretti Octopus Clothes Airer - Beech Wood - Casio Women's Analogue Quarz Watch with Leather Strap LTP-B165L-2BVEF --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/53808389-bne001bk-braun-calculator-black](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/53808389-bne001bk-braun-calculator-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-07-24*
