    I didn't realize that the scanner did not come with an AC power supply. The battery power only lasts a small while. I could have bought a printer scanner combo for less. I went back to Best Buy to purchase the power supply but they didn't carry it??

    Even on higher setting, not a very clear scan. Problems with lines through the images. Even after multiple cleans and calibrations. Only got through about 100 4x6 pictures before batteries died. If you want a power cord, they are an additional $24.99!

    No power cord. Have to use batteries that last for a few pages and then need to replace. Overall not a good product.

    This was an impulse buy year end for tax purposes (for business), didn't realize it was battery operated...kind of odd, but OK

    Disappointed. Tried the scanner on THREE different computers. Every thing seemed to work. However, it did not leave a copy of what had been scanned. Have an Epson flatbed scanner which works well on all three computers. Would I recommend the scanner to a friend? They would have to make the decision.

    App gave me a hard time syncing with the scanner. Program didn't work on my laptop. Receipts and documents must be in pristine shape to avoid issues with the scanner accepting it. Not what I expected.
