Disappointed, should have lasted longer

I bought this device with network (Ethernet) interface back in December 2013. It worked fine on our Mac network until March 2018 when it suddenly stopped scanning no matter what we tried to fix it. We need a network scanner to serve multiple users for fairly easy general use, but we've rarely used the flatbed scanning feature. It scanned photos well, but figuring out how to change the settings from scanning documents to scanning photos was a challenge. I believe we could send this unit in for repairs, but due to the cost of shipping and repairs, we're better off just buying something else. Considering that my little Fujitsu scanner that I bought 10 years ago is still working, it goes without saying that I was disappointed that this device didn't last as long as it should have, especially given the high investment we have made in it. . I would not buy this block again.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not satisfied with everything
