## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ Useless
*by C***Y on October 2, 2000*

Well sorry to be negative, but I just purchased this scanner and found it to be almost useless. I have a very modern PC running Windows ME. Despite this the scanner was SLOW, the quality of the images it produced were rubbish, the software managed to crash more often than it worked. Unless you enjoy watching paint dry, give this one a miss. I know it seems like a bargin, but the only thing that impessed me about this product is the fact you don't need a power supply. One star is generous.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ need help
*by E***N on October 26, 2002*

i have a 1200 ub scanner i love it ,but i just upgraded to a windows xp the disc for my scanner is for windows 98 how can i install it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inexpensive, easy, effective, fast, rich color.
*by "***" on August 23, 2000*

Somehow, when I ordered this product, I was sent two of them. Unfortunately, the first one I plugged in and used made a horrible noise and didn't work well. Obviously, it was damaged somewhere along the line. Since I already had the other one, I tried the other one and it's worked like a charm. For such an inexpensive scanner, it scans relatively fast, even at high resolutions. Comes with I-Photo Plus software, which looks similar to kid's software when looking at the screen, yet it is a quite powerful image editor. The drivers integrated themselves flawlessly into my other editors, so scanning from another program is not a problem. The USB interface is a plus because there's no switching the power on/off - it comes on and goes off automatically when you need it. The only real drawback is that pages larger than 8.5 X 11 probably won't fit on the scanner. Go ahead and get it now - you'll be glad you did. This is the most bang for the buck I've received from any computer gadget I've bought.
