Waste of money - scanner failure and no support

The Neat scanner was a great device for a while, but due to the cost of reading time, paper recognized or not, forget it. There is no tech support, you can't get through on the phone. I've had mine for almost 2 years. I may have scanned 500 pages but let's say 1000. Now it doesn't recognize any paper no matter what I do and it doesn't work. None of the online tutorials work. I emailed support for help and they immediately assigned me a case number with confirmation of a response within 48…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

I can't figure out how to save the files to the location I chose.

I am requesting a refund. It seems that the system insists on using its cloud storage service along with a monthly fee. I can't find a way to save my documents to a location of my choice on my computer or in a cloud service that I already use. The software doesn't seem to have a preset like most OS X programs. All I need is a scanner and a database program. I'm not interested in buying "services" or monthly fees.

Pros
  • Annual Trial
Cons
  • old

Scans to their paid cloud services. So you.

Scans to their paid cloud services. So you can not only use it as a scanner. I actually had one for 10 years and before they asked to use their cloud, Neat was at the forefront of the scanners. When they announced that they would switch to a paid cloud, they ignored the protests of their customers. (Why can't I just use it as a personal scanner? They stopped providing the software needed to do that.). So I left the Neat family forever. My new scanner is sharper and more powerful and certainly…

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Waiting too long

Best Avoid This Scanner in Scanners and Accessories

Avoid this scanner. When I first bought it, the product worked fine. I upgraded to OS 10.11 and there were some scanning issues. The software crashed a bit more often and I had to do some stupid things to get my computer to recognize the scanner (turn on the scanner, load the paper, and then, and only then, open the software). When I updated to OS 10.12, the program completely refused to work. Now Neat has moved to cloud software. I tried a trial subscription and was very disappointed. Scanning

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Updates

I bought this unit in 2012 and it was generally fine until Mac OS X 10.11.x came out. El Capitan has broken the Neat desktop app and the company has yet to release an official update. Instead, he released beta versions and workaround instructions for problems like hardware buttons not working. Using the Neat scanner became so tiresome that I just started piling up bills and receipts. To make matters worse, on March 1, 2016, Neat released an announcement that it would no longer support Neat…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Something is wrong

So bad! Not worth the cost! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!

This is one of the worst electronic products I have ever bought. Half the time it doesn't recognize the paper, it's incredibly hard to grab the paper to swipe through, sometimes the software can't recognize the scanner at all, and when an error occurs I have to turn it off, unplug it, and start over to make it work again. Also, the software's search function doesn't work very well and isn't very intuitive overall. I process almost 200 receipts a month for my business and this thing doesn't save

Pros
  • Scan up to 10 receipts, 10 business cards and 10 documents at a time or one document per 50 pages
Cons
  • Negative Gift

Excellent tool for home scanning and document management

. This pack works great for me. I scan and manage many different types of documents, from original documents to receipts and business cards. I read reviews that the quality of the scans wasn't very good. But I watched the demo and saw the results well. This isn't a high-end $5,000 scanner. This is a sub $500 product and you can't expect super high results. I have a Xerox scanner at work that is used in a multi-person office and the quality of this large network scanner isn't really that much…

  • Automatically extracts key information from scanned receipts; Can export to Quicken, Excel and PDF

Great product! in office electronics

I received the Neat Receipts scanner/software a few weeks ago. I was very hesitant to purchase this product due to the bad reviews, when I started reading customer reviews I noticed that all the reviews were several years old, the more recent reviews gave positive reviews to this product! Take the chance and order! I couldn't be happier, this is an amazing device! I use the MAC version, it booted fine on my computer, went online and downloaded the latest software. No problem! I scanned various…

Pros
  • Scans are IRS-accepted digital copies that make tax returns easier to prepare
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Not ready for prime time Mac

I have been scanning receipts, invoices and documents using the Brother Multifunction Center on a Windows computer for several years. About a year ago I decided to quit Microsoft and was hooked on the Neatworks software and Neat scanner. I was particularly pleased with the software that allows me to catalog and store documents. I bought the Neatworks product for Mac. I was very disappointed with this, although I now seem to be firmly attached to the technology, as it would be difficult to…

Pros
  • Turn paper into business information
Cons
  • Something different
