Its well made, does up to 8 11 photos.....and has a built in screen.....portable! Perfect for backing up my old photos.

Feed can cause a mark on pictures.

I 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.

This product worked well and did exactly what I needed it to do, I needed a simple tool to scan photos from old photo albums and it did the job.

great product

Purchased this back in July. Opened it and was excited to start using it. After scanning 100 pictures started noticing lines in the center of the scanned images. Tried to re-callibrate the machine which did not help. So now Im stuck with this machine as I cannot find the receipt to return it to Sears where I purchased it.

I discovered that it did not suit my purpose in scanning old, old photos taken in studios because the photos are very thick. Under normal circumstances, I think the device would be fine.

Great Product! I have used this scanner a lot now and never have had any issues with the scanning. I recommend this product.

To 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.

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