Good in theory, not in practice.

This is an alright-quality scanner that theoretically is a great idea, however, some flaws have led me to give it a 3 star rating.
Pros:
It works for its intended purpose.
Small
Lightweight
Durable
Purple-- personally, a great perk right there
Cons
I was having issues with the indicator light (indicating when it was scanning). There were times when I thought I was scanning, when I actually wasn't. This was the biggest issue for me, as I wasted a lot of time rescanning the same pages.
Not a lot of wiggle room when trying to copy large sheets of paper or a magazine page
Overall, it works for what it's supposed to, and if you're looking for something small that works "alright," then this is perfect. I went in expecting quality and ease of use close to what an actual, full size scanner would be and came out slightly disappointed.

My sister was wanting one of these so I got if for her as a gift a few month later as a surprise. She loved it. Works great at scanning flat to almost flat surfaces. everything from receipts to photos to Christmas and birthday cards to fabric samples to wall colors can be scanned and stord on via the micro sd card slot. number of uses are imaginable so use your mind and start scanning things.

Great portable scanner. A friend owns one, so I bought this on his recommendation. Works great, exactly as expected.

Did the job

The scanner took some time to get used to but my wife figured it out-the paper/item to be scanned must on a flat surface for maximum use. After that she was able to scan all the pictures needed.

It took me a few minutes to figure out how to use but once I got that out of teh way I was very pleased with the outcome. The scans look very good for such an inexpensive product.

Ok if you don't need good scans

I LOVE the idea of this. However, it's hard to scan in a perfectly straight line. I recommend doing it against a wall so you can use the wall as your guide. However, it still often warps. For certain purposes, like when you're only concerned about the content of a document, not the accuracy of a photo, then it's fine. But for photos and for documents that you intend to print later, it can get tricky. When I use it, I always scan the same item at least three times, using a wall as my guide alone the side of the document, and yet it still winds up warped. Scanning thicker items like driver's licenses (for legal purposes) is kind of a headache.

this is a great scanner for those needing portable scanning needs on the road or during travels. It's is hard to scan single pieces of paper and/or receipts but I tape them down and it works great.

Harder than it looks

I read a lot of reviews and this looked like a great product. It's not as easy to scan a document, as I thought it would be. I've tried about 10 times and have yet to successfully scan something. Think it's time to search You Tube for some training.

Does not scan full image when scanning books
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
For some reason, this item simply refuses to scan the full image when scanning books. When I scan a cover of a book from the left side toward the right side, it does not scan about 1.5 inches of the right side of the book. So I tried scanning from the top of the book to the bottom of the book. The result is the same; it doesn't scan about 1.5 inches of the bottom of the book. There is a green LED light that indicates that it did scan the whole image, but regardless of what the LED shows, it simply does not scan the whole image.
The quality is also pretty bad. It looks worse than when I took a picture with my smart phone.
