> 24 hourThis was purchased as a Christmas gift to my wife, she was pleased to see it, as one of her requests. When she started to use it, the scanner produced a white line on every photo scan, in the same place, I made a minor attempt to inspect it without finding any results. We made our return with intention of replacement or repair, they just went ahead with a refund, we would have liked the scanner better. I now have to shop for another scanner that probably wont be Amazon or the same brand. Im out, so you be the judge.

> 24 hourThis 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.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourI purchased this scanner largely because I wanted a simple, portable, self-contained scanner which could scan 8.5 x 11 images. This scanner cant do that, despite its claims. I scanned ten photos, all were unacceptable. I calibrated the scanner. I scanned ten more photos and only one was acceptable. I cleaned the scanner with the cleaning sheet that is included and calibrated again. I scanned 100 photos and only three were acceptable. Acceptable, by the way, was a level of image integrity I would never settle for with even the most economical desktop scanner. The tonal clarity was pretty good, but the way the scanner pulls the photo through the scanning element is seriously flawed. Even the photos that flowed smoothly through the scanner were stretched. Most went through crooked, the result of the mechanism not being able to consistently grip on both sides at the same time. Some just sat there halfway through as the scanner chugged away. All the photos were in perfect condition -- no bends, staples, holes or any imperfections whatsoever. It may work great for smaller photos which fit inside the sleeve thats included, but if you need it to do 8.5 x 11 dont waste your time.

> 24 hourTo be fair in this review, I have not used the scanner as much as I thought I would. What few times I have used it it seems to work okay. Documents are ok- fair quality. It could be a user error but it seems a little complicated to transfer straight to the computer, had to use USB card which was an extra step when I needed the documents on the computer. It is not something I would be able to use quickly and everyday. I think someone with time and patience may enjoy it more.

> 24 hourIts very easy to use. But the image quality is less than I had wished for. Image looks like it has streaks running though it. Did NOT improve after cleaning it and going though the troubleshooting guide that came with it.
