Fast, high resolution scanning – works great for photos!
I don’t often write reviews – but I do depend on them to make decisions when making purchases on Amazon. I got this scanner to scan the thousands of photos that my Mom had in albums and we wanted to digitize them so everyone in the family could have a copy. I wanted high resolution scans – and I tried for a little while with the flatbed scanner I have (part of my multi-function printer) – this was very labor intensive and time-consuming. First the scan itself was slow at that resolution and then I had to bring each scan into Photoshop to cut each photo and make it a separate file. I thought there had to be a better way – and I have been thrilled with this scanner. I got 2000 photos scanned in one day (just watching football while I scanned.) I did a few and checked the quality after doing a few – and I felt that they were coming out a little dark. So I ran the calibration (which isn’t mentioned in the little get started booklet), although there are directions on the calibration sheet. And now they are great. I think I’ve saved myself days and days of work – the pictures go through so quickly (about 6 seconds each). Also – living in California for many years I’ve often thought that the one thing I really don’t want to lose to a fire are my photos – and getting them scanned and digitized means I can keep a copy in a safe location (and am sharing with my family so there are plenty of copies.) I very much recommend this little scanner seems quite sturdy and well built and makes quick work of your scanning jobs. And now that I’ve scanned all my pictures, my friends are asking to borrow it 🙂

Great for large projects!
This scanner isn’t perfect, but it is pretty awesome! I have been using a flatbed scanner to scan a bunch of old photos for my Grandpa’s 85th birthday. It has taken more hours than I can count to get just 1300 scanned! I ordered this to give it a try and the difference in speed is quite drastic! No more late nights trying to get a decent amount of photos scanned. Tonight I was able to scan 1000 photos in basically 3 hours at the highest resolution!Some reviewers said this scanner leaves streaks. I found that if you take out the wand and wipe it off every so many pictures (i did every 50 or so) you won’t have streaks. The base that feeds the pictures did malfunction a few times and continued to scan after the picture was all the way out, but it was easily resolved after turning it off and back on. That only happened a few times at the beginning of my project and it picked back up to the correct settings.I would say that even the old tattered pictures turned out well with this scanner. If you are on the fence I would recommend you give it a go!

Good solution for the traveler
This little scanner can save the day as it is easily packed in my laptop backpack and be able to scan anywhere from the power of the usb. Surprisingly, the base actually feeds the paper through real smooth and generally the quality is real nice. It doesn’t seem to like a crease in the paper or for it to be bent up but I really do not think ANY scanner likes that. It is super cool that you can just “wand” over something and scan it also. It takes a couple shots at it to get the speed that you need to move down, but very easy.I took off one star because of what might even be perceived functionality and the lack of answers when I have emailed this manufacturer. They give you a disc with Nuance Paperport 14. You can install it, but you cannot use it directly. This was big for me as when I scan something, usually I want to edit it. Very rare do I get something that I don’t already get through email with no need to then scan it.The thing with this scanner is that you activate the scanner and it does that, acts as a scanner but local to the hardware device itself. Does not show as a scanner to the PC. It saves the image as a jpeg or pdf which is great but you have to then hit the scan button for a couple seconds which then accesses your memory can which then shows up as a usb device to the PC.The great part about Paperport is that as you SCAN it, the OCR ability takes over and automatically makes fields editable if they are recognized properly. With this you have to do it manually in Paperport or Acrobat if you have it. Small price to pay, not the end of the world but I thought it was worth a star.

Awful image quality
The box arrived damaged, obviously having been previously opened and returned. I tried scanning multiple photos and all of them came out fuzzy with vertical lines like it was being scanned through a screen door. The device charging seemed to be inconsistent too and I ended up using a battery instead of the wall plug. This is going back after less than an hour after opening the box.

Great Little Scanner
After reading some of the negative reviews I was expecting to have a few problems and/or disappointments with this scanner but I have been very pleased so far. After charging the battery I did a B&W test scan on a document with some pencil markups. It was very clear, even the pencil markings. The only problem was the white background was slightly gray in places. I then did the simple calibration procedure and did a color scan on a certificate document. It was clear and the colors spot on.I was surprised with the design and construction. It is heaver and better constructed than I expected. Even the manual was complete and used correct English not englisized Chinese.So far I am very pleased with the scanner.

Great scanner, very versatile but when using it in the dock you need to keep making sure there is no dust on the scanning glass… The slightest bit of dust will put a heavy line on the scanned image… So… great buy but keep it clean at regular intervals….
