Good scanner for the money

It reads out the trouble codes easily and allows you to clear them (and turn off the check engine light) if desired. Easy to use and does what it is advertised to do.

I got the scanner about a month ago. It's been many years since I had a Scanner I was a little bit intimidated by all the new technology. Digital technology trunking scanners. I did a couple months or research and decided on the Whistler it seemed to have the features I wanted and was portable at the same time. Setting up the scanner was not very difficult it did take some reading of the manual but after a few tries it really wasn't that bad. The only thing I can recommend is a better speaker. The sound clarity is sometimes not Crisp otherwise the scanner has been performing as expected.

I am not a mechanic and my knowledge when it comes to vehicles are quite limited. So this diagnostic tool is good enough for me. I know there are other scanners with more features, but this one meets my needs and you can't go wrong with the price.

Great scanner for under 100 bucks.  Can hear police dispatch from over 20 miles away.  Super easy to program from a computer.  Very easy to use.

Got this used for $15 as all I need it for is a flatbed scanner. Setup while not pnp was relatively straightforward using the web based setup tool. Scans a page in about 20 seconds. Was able to create a pdf file of a small book w/o any trouble.

Excellent performance and range. Considering the low price of this scanner it is a great deal.
By the way, my scanner is an all black unit. I'm not sure if the color being different from the picture would be a deal breaker for some.

I purchased this scanner to scan several hundred record covers.

I'm more than happy with the results.  It scans pretty quickly and the quality is perfect for my needs.  It is slightly on the noisy side but I can live with that.

I recently updated my computer to Windows 10 and I've had no problems reinstalling the driver on Win 10.

Had tried a different scanner first which didn't do the job at all and then found this one. Because it only scans 4 slides at a time it's a bit time consuming - especially because I have over 13,000 slides to scan! But it does a good job scanning - I thought the software was really quite good until my brother-in-law looked at the results and found a different sotware that we purchased that did a fantastic job with much more definition to the slides. Ended up using the software "DVD Photo Slideshow Professional 7.97" ($59.95) and have been extremely pleased with results.

Great scanner at a great low price. It even came with an attached stand.

I bought this scanner/copier to make ~2000 images of photos (prints and/or slides of original paintings) to link to corresponding records in a database. I use Corel Paintshop Pro instead of the image-processing software provided, but have no reason to think the latter is inferior. The scanner works, and the images of both 35-mm slides and 4x6-inch prints are pretty good.  It scans up to 4 slides in one batch, but prints go one at a time, with useful automatic cropping. It's fairly slow and clunky, but it does the job, and I'm gradually enhancing the database with pretty links.  The documentation is a little sketchy in places but OK. I haven't used the copier function. I'm a novice at using this device; someone with more and wider experience could doubtless use it more efficiently and might give it a better rating.  I'm amazed that it can be sold for under $100.

This scanner does exactly what I wanted it to do. I have scanned a few thousand pages now and get it done while I am surfing the internet. Hassle free and fast.

In September I bought this printer/scanner so that I could finally start the long-postponed project of scanning in well over a thousand old vacation and family pictures.  The scan quality is about as good as could be expected for old photos.  The print and copy functions also work fairly well.  This device also has a fax capability but I have not used it, so I cannot comment on it.  The main drawback is that the touch screen used in order to set up the device is hard to use.  All in all, I am fairly satisfied with this printer/scanner considering the price.

OK ---- a little more work on this scanner ... Up to 5 stars.

I would give this scanner FIVE stars if I had more experience with it.  I have only had the scanner a few weeks but everything so far is going good.  I bought this scanner to augment my high-res flat bed scanner for home document management.  I have not used it for photos and probably won't because my HP flat bed is superb for photo quality work.

PROS: Small footprint on my desk -- very easy, straightforward installation -- FAST scanning with auto-duplex -- good response to a double feed (only one so far) -- excellent resolution on documents -- Adobe Acrobat X makes the bundle price worth the extra money -- one try with OCR worked well.

CONS: Rack-2-Filer seems to be a waste

I am still learning the SnapScan Manager software -  it appears to function well.

I like this scanner, it's so easy to get started. Out of the box,plug it in,insert memory card or in my flash drive and start copying!! The resolution is not all that good if the picture is dark, other than that it works great.
UPDATE........ I have now gone thru 30 years of photo's, while i haven't scanned every picture, I have scanned about 300 photo's and have not had a single problem !!! As in other reviews there was a line thru a few pictures in the beginning, but that line went away and it's been smooth sailing ever since!!

We purchased this scanner on the advice of a friend. It does everything that is says it does and really fast. Had it about a month and have no complaints. Would buy the same unit again. Worth the money.

Excellent scanner for slides, negatives and prints.  When I was researching what scanner to get to replace my old HP scanner I did a lot of looking around.  This one was the best trade-off between cost and image quality.

Since it uses LEDs to light it up there is zero 'warm-up' time.

When I scan 35mm slides I can dial up the Dot Per Inch (DPI) so high that when I zoom in tight on the finished scan I can see the film grain!

The software from Epson is pretty good too.  It offers 3 modes that go from "I don't know anything about scanning pictures - just do it for me", to "I know just enough to be dangerous but I still want some control on how my pictures are scanned",  to "I have a good solid understanding of how scanning works and I want be in complete control."

Most of the time "Restore Colors" does a good job but occasionally it takes the colors over the top to make the picture look like a cartoon.  But it's easy to turn it on, check the colors, and then turn it off again if you don't like it.

Occasionally the software will misidentify a slide as being turned horizontal when it's actually vertical ... but usually a rescan of the preview will solve that.  In six months worth of use I have only had one occasion that the software "got confused" and I had to toss out the preferences file to reset everything.  But then it was all back to normal again.

All in all ... this is a very good scanner with excellent performance without a major hit to the wallet.

P.S. since I don't run Windows I don't know how well it works in that environment but if the software is similar to the Mac version you're good-to-go

Works well, especially when doing full scans.  Good value for the money.
