Pandigital PANSCN01 PhotoLink Mini Scanner -Black

It had a large white line down the center on all the down loaded pictures scanned.

It was reasonably priced, fast shipping. This scanner is so easy to use, you dont even need to have it hooked up to a computer to scan photos, you can scan them, it saves them on the SD card (one is included) and you can either put the SD card in your computer or take it to whatever store has a reader (if you want your photos printed) or plug it into your computer and transfer the files. And because you dont have to attach it to a computer to work, you can use it anywhere with an electrical outlet! The photo does need to be flat and occasionally slips, but on ones that slip I found that keeping a finger with slight pressure on the end of the photo helps guide it through (I have been scanning old photos in to share with family after we lost my Mother) It saves so much time over a traditional desktop scanner, in just about 2 hours I scanned over 150 photos, that is with taking breaks and having to take the photos out of an album and put them back in.

Disappointing

I bought this to scan photos - of course. After approximately 30 photos, the scanner needs to be recalibrated. You are also supposed to be able to view the pics as scan them, but I cant. The File Explorer window CLOSES every time you scan. You have to go back in each time. I was waiting until after I scanned a batch at a time. After about 30 photos, you have to unplug, clean the machine, then calibrate it. Its a shame. I was looking forward to using this. Dont waste your money. Just use a regular document scanner instead.

This scanner leaves lines on the picture. At times the photo will hesitate to completely go through the scanner. It will not scan Polaroid pictures because they are too thick.

This is a pretty neat little gadget. Pretty much just follow the directions, then plug the power in. To scan, you just put the photo in, it takes it away. Converts it right to Jpg on the memory card. And, if you dont have a memory card reader you can plug it into the computer and download it directly. Only downside is a technical limitation - you cant scan and pull pictures off the card at the same time (probably a memory card limitation). Otherwise its a pretty neat gadget.

Totally unusable. All photos have insane streaks. Tried cleaning both manually and with compressed air. Nothing helped.

I loved the fact of how compact this scanner is. Set up took about 10 minutes and that is because I actually read most of the manual. Unfortunately, I can not leave a good review because the scanner did not work properly. All of the photos that I scanned had approximately a 2 white line through the middle of them. After reading the troubleshooting section of the manual, I proceeded to clean and calibrate the scanner. This did not fix the problem. I called the 800 number and actually got through to tech support in under 5 minutes. After explaining to the tech the issue he told me that it appeared that I had a faulty scanner and that my only recourse would be to return or exchange the product. He said it would be quicker to send it back to amazon then to get one from the company directly. So now UPS is due to pick the product back up tomorrow. I was not able to exchange the scanner due to amazon policy, so I will be patiently awaiting my refund.

I was so excited about scanning my old photos. Loved the idea of the photo feeder. Within 30 to 40 scans I was getting a 1 dark band and white lines in the middle of the pictures. Not all, just some, but enought to put it back in the box and return it to the store. Best Buy, Bed Bath and Beyond, Staples, Frys, and Target no longer carry the unit. Staples claimed it was a holiday item. Was it because of all of the complaints? I really like the unit, hated the quality. Mine was the white Model O5 which appears to be their most current product.

Works great, shipped quick, good price
