GiiNii GN-5LS NuLife Full Page Picture Scanner with 2.4-Inch LCD Screen-Black

I just received my scanner, read the directions which are easy to understand, then following those directions I got started scanning. Two problems I am having, I cannot keep my curious cat away and I dont want to stop, but seriously, one of the first things I did was scan a test picture to establish the orientation so I would not have to worry about rotating the scanned picture, insert the top of the picture first and your picture will then be heads up. I then started on my old family pictures starting from the early 1900s, ranging in size from 2x4 to 5x7, and it does a great job. For just starting I scanned 50 pictures in 15 minutes, and I think if I were not putting them back in the album it would go even faster. I am doing my family genealogy and will now be able to send these pictures to family. This is wirth the money and ease of use. I highly reccomend this item.

If you are looking for a scanner primarily to preserve photographs, get this, sit and watch t.v., and just scan those pics! Only seconds to scan and much quicker than standing at my all-in-one printer/copier/scanner unit, lifting the lid, placing the photo, lowering the lid, scan photo, wait, wait, oh, and wait... This will scan documents, too, no problem. But my purpose was scanning and having the ability to save pre-digital era photographs, and this compact scanner is perfect for that task and very convenient to do while sitting - anywhere with electrical outlet!

I bought the GiiNii NuLife Full Size Photo Scanner in 2012 and scanned only about 100 photos right around that time and the scans were fine. I recently pulled the scanner off the shelf to do some more photo archiving but immediately noticed a problem with the scans. After scanning several photos and getting the same type of results, severe banding/striping, I looked in the front feed slot and saw that top of the inside looked like there were some bubbly protrusions hanging down; see the blue circled area with the two most noticeable bumps (most of that top feed area has some wavy bumps). I know this scanner is outside of the warranty period but I thought folks should know how little use its had and how poorly its performing now. Based on the customer service response from GiiNii support they claim that the problem is due to how the scanner was stored... without knowing how it was stored. It was stored properly on a shelf in a closed container, not too: hot, cold, wet or dry. Based on the poor quality and limited lifespan of the product (seriously, if you buy it, be sure to finish all the scanning you ever need to do right away), I would discourage anyone from buying this.

Worked well for about 50 photos after which it stopped feeding properly. Tried to calibrate, clean and re-set factory defaults. All attempts to correct the feed problem were unsuccessful. Disappointed in this scanner.

it never works..i exchange it for a new one and it gave the same problem

great product

This thing was totally non functional. We sent it back.

Best scanner ever. It scans pics at a very fast pace. I love it. I Definitely recommend it. Did I say, I LOVE IT.

This photo scanner did what it says. One cannot expect to have a full size scanner, but I had hundreds of pictures of my trip from Wyoming to Argentina with my 1988 Jeep Cherokee but never had time, and using a letter size scanner requires you to crop every photo. Not this, worked fine, once finished I will publish in a blog the photos of that adventure in two parts: From the Rockies to the Panama Canal, and then, Driving down the Andes.

We were needing a scanner to archive my mothers albums of family pictures. This scanner is easy and fast. I have recommended it to my friends who need to preserve their family photos.
