So far so good, it’s fast scanning up to 50 pages, the only problem was installing it, it’s not that easy as you have to extract files and do some complex tasks, if you’re not a computer programmer you may have issues. I was annoyed about this.

Bought this in December 2022 and scanned about 40 documents over the course of 20 months. and then it just died. Lights come on but function button and scan button do nothing. Tried to get help from tech support. I'd have better luck giving birth to giraffe. It was excellent while it worked, but lasting 20 months (and I only turned it on when I needed it those 40 times) and 40 scans for $200 is not worth it! Save your money and buy something that lasts a while.

I didn't get it until this afternoon because it was shipped by usps instead.. BUT.. I love it so far. I mixed up some documents legal and letter portrait (certificate) with blank backs and printed on both sides. The results are awesome. It scanned the letter and legal, scanned front and back with one pass, dropped all blank pages, the certificate was automatically orientated in landscape position vs portrait for the rest of the documents... all in one file. Well worth $200. I wish it would have arrive in time for me to take it with me to the signing.

Lo scanner arriva solo con la presa americana, quindi non è possibile neppure provarlo e renderlo costa 40,00€ - NON È GIUSTO

Small size as needs to be sored in a cupboard after use at a foodbank. Magically scans both sides of A4/A5 simultaneously in only a couple of secs. We have to shred our forms and packign lists after sending them and to keep a copy for audit purposes.

I had a smaller Fuji document scanner that worked well, until it started jamming. After almost two years, it was time for a new one. I thought I'd try the Plustek based on reviews. I don't know what your needs are, but mine would be for business. I need to do low res scans from photos from the 70s-90s to register with the copyright office. Much quicker than scanning my negatives and slides. My Fuji did acceptable in this regard. Not hi res enough to make a sellable copy, but ok for viewing on screen.The software for MAC for the Plustek is difficult to navigate.It scans blank back pages on PDF files. My Fuji scanner did not do that. You left it on Duplex and it would skip blank pages. Saves time and hard drive space.Perfectly exposed color or black and white images come out too dark and contrasty, often looking solarized. My work is pro quality, my flatbed Canon scanner also gives good results and high resolution.I’ve lost important tax documents because I forgot to change the file name. My Fuji would just add a 1 or 2 to the document and not write over the last scanned document with the same name. Papers went straight to the shredder so, everything was lost.If you put in a dozen papers and the paper jams, you have no way of saving or viewing the items it’s already scanned. Nothing gets saved. This didn’t happen with the Fuji.Not enough characters allowed for the title. This is VERY un-Mac like and I have to go in right away and add to the title. Too time consuming.We should be able to write in the ‘FILE NAME’ area instead of a pop out being activated to put into a tiny field that doesn’t even hold all of our characters.I also had issues where if I was scanning at least 10 documents that they'd suddenly fly out fast without scanning all of them.Sometimes the pop out menu with the extra fields comes out on the right, sometimes the left. This is a real pain.Another thing I didn't like was playing, 'Guess the buttons' on the Plustek.SO many people I know, including myself are really getting tired of babysitting paperwork and preferring to have everything neatly digitized and out of site. Also important to do this if you are in a flood zone. Digitizing your documents and having them encrypted on a safe external drive offsite is a good idea as is cloud service that gives you at least 2 levels of security protection.I'm hoping more companies make better products for this task. I wanted to love the Plustek, but my last email of 7/30 detailing everything I was having trouble with went unanswered.

My computer crashed and Neet decided they wanted $7 a month to let me download and use their software, that I had already bought and paid for. No way, EVERYBODY, STAY AWAY FROM NEET, so I bought this Plustek PS186. I bought a refurbished one. It had no disks, no instructions, and no calibration paper, which it says is necessary, but I managed without. Found the company website and downloaded their software. (No charge, unlike Neet) Had a lot of trouble getting it to work because they have so many download possibilities and it does not tell you which ones you need, what order to run them it, or anything. Download speed was also extremely slow. Ultimately I got it working and I am very happy with the performance, so far. I need a scanner for documents Almost all black and white. Presets are easy to modify to your preference. You can set a particular folder to scan to, scan to file type, and dpi (100-600), etc. for each profile. That works great for me. Tried it on color documents and results were not too good, lots of lines, even at slow 600 dpi. For black and white docs, it is excellent and fast. Since that is what I need it for most, I am happy with my purchase. You can also easily set or modify a profile to eliminate blank pages, auto-rotate, enhance characters, etc. If you are not pretty computer savvy, stick with the brand new one, that includes the disks (I did not know mine was going to come with no disk). Probably should give it fewer stars but there are these nice advantages too: It folds up quite small, and the folding top keeps dust out of the scanner - that is a major flaw for most other scanners. The document sheet feeder has side guides up high to keep the paper straight, is nearly vertical for good use of gravity, and I have not had a misfeed, so far. (1 day) Before the day was out I had the ultimate test: A 100+ pages two-sided three-hole punched transcript. I did it in two files, each roughly half. Flawless, and so easy. Push "Scan". (I have preset 1 set to a multi-page pdf doc at 300 dpi to be sent to the "scanned docs" folder on my desktop.) I originally posted a 4, because I was so annoyed with the lack of a disk, but went to 5 stars because I bought refurbished, so I blame myself. I saved money for that hassle, and don't think I should blame the seller. I love the product.
