Pros: Fast, excellent documentation and software bundle, superlative document quality.

Cons: A little pricey for most, I would imagine, but well worth it.

Review: Looking to scan without constantly opening and closing the platten, I searched for a scanner that had a paper feed. I saw the HP 5550c, but did read some tepid reviews about its performance and software bundle. Not only that, the scanner was unavailable t ...

Pros: Reliable, easy set up, good ADF

Cons: Software: replace with Paperport 9.0. The size of the scanner could be smaller.

Pros: I can't think of any.

Cons: Not a reliable scanner. Too many returns from other customers.

Review: I've returned three of these scanners in a little bit more than 30 days. The first one worked fine for the first day then it stopped working. I called tech support and tried a few things, it worked for one more scan and the problem came back. Called ...

Cons: Errors and issues if there’s a paper jam, poor ADF design, takes up desk space

Review: We got this scanner to replace our old Visioneer that broke. Our office had it for about 5 months and it finally got a jam a few days ago exposing a serious design flaw that we were unable to fix. We were trying to scan a long newspaper clipping (taped ...

Pros: Good uninstall utilities, you will need them!!

Cons: too many to list here

The Bottom Line: Stay away from this bad bad product

Review: I have over 25 years working with hardware and hooking up peripherals, going back to the IBM PC JR. and hooking up a giant floppy disc reader to it, and building a custom tape reader also. I NEVER ever had problems installing a device like this one. A ...

Pros: Makes a decent paperweight.

Cons: Won't work. won't install. And can't entirely uninstall!!!

Review: 9 hours of wasted time. I'm a computer sales clerk at a major store here in Boston, and have installed many, many scanners and other devices over the years, — but never so impossible as this one! Spent over a half hour waiting on the phone (at my ...

Pros: Will Probably Work Now

Cons: Will Most Definitely Not Work Later

Review: Visioneer has a history of not supporting its products. It abandoned all of its scanners to the trashbin when Windows ME and 2000 came along, failing to provide drivers for them. Buy a Visioneer, you will end up throwing it away next year when the new ...

Pros: There is nothing good about this product or my experience with the company's customer service.

Cons: This is a terrible scanner with horrible customer support.

Review: This is a very bad piece of equipment. I would not suggest it to anybody. We purchased the unit to be used on a once-a-day basis for scanning small bundles of documentation. We quickly discovered that the unit was difficult to install. Once ...
