I bought this scanner from Best Buy and it has worked great for a couple of months. I don't really use it that often, but it's nice to have when I need it. The lamp died after a few months. Sending it back to Microtek (the only way to replace the lamp), they installed a new lamp and sent it back. Everything was fine again. Before. A few more months passed, and now the light went out again. If I send it back in for repair, I pay almost the same shipping cost as the scanner. NO purchase recommendation for everyone.
