Review on Visioneer SXP1001-DB Strobe XP 100 Mobile 600 DPI Scanner with USB and One Touch Technology by Andrew Dickens

Revainrating 4 out of 5

small size makes it ideal for new niche applications

EDITED: After a year of use, my previous statements were overly optimistic. The hardware seems as good as it gets, but the software is ridiculously buggy and unreliable. ---------------------------------------------- First, это не планшетный сканер; so have one ready. It's also not a high-speed sheet feeder; Don't try to use it for these purposes and you'll be fine. SOMETIMES. Ideal for mobile scanning - the kind of scans you take when you go to a library, office or anywhere else. Use it as a fax replacement for printed documents, an alternative to photocopying and carrying around, a handy device for sorting and jotting down receipts, bills and more when traveling, and it works great. Scanners for completely different products or simply slammed for lack of support. (I agree: support sucks, download doesn't work and reinstalling drivers adds SPYWARE, BMupdate.exe is ugly). a particularly long job, and it seems pretty random. This slows things down but is not a fatal error. However, for real estate, student, legal, design and other niches, this scanner is ideal. Don't like its portability? Try dragging a full-size flatbed or sheet + power supply to the library!

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Updates available
