A review from Newegg. Fantastic.
“”
Pros: This is absolutely excellent scanner. It's primary function performs without problems. It's been used over 500 times since it's inception into my household. The best part about the scanner, though, are not how it functions but how its powered. The short answer? BY USB, BABY. The long answer? BY UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS, BABY. It's impressive to be more than capable of scanning quietly and quickly (with an excellent result--the picture quality is on par with the more expensive scanners) using nothing more than the juice from a USB port. All the software is excellent (as excellent as manufacturer software can get) which makes this a great choice for those who don't know what they're doing. The quick set buttons on the front work in harmony with the software as well. Everything included is more than easy to use.
Cons: If you're a 50-something woman with the idea that scanning her photos into her computer to upload them to Facebook so everyone can see how thin you use to be 35 years ago, this scanner is for you. It's not the most powerful scanner, can't scan documents at a rate of 100 pages per minute, and can't keep your hot chocolate from becoming chocolate milk (which is terribly disgusting by the way--hot cocoa mix was NEVER intended to be used for chocolate milk and anyone who says otherwise is un-American) but all of that is NO reason whatsoever to hate on this scanner. It's by far the best one I've ever owned, having owned quite a few at 5 years intervals so my mother can relinquish old memories.
Other Thoughts: I bought this scanner for my mother so she can scan and upload her old pictures from the Paleolithic era to her very modern and so passe Facebook. She's happy, so it's all good. The only stipulation was to not scan any baby pictures of me or else I'd press her face on the glass while it was scanning, in the hopes that a cool picture would emerge.
