Summary: I couldn't recommend this to another
Review: I was leery of purchasing this scanner because of these reviews. But I thought the price was right. The scanner was basically dead on arrival. After it was installed I kept getting an error message that the scanner was locked. It was not locked. Visioneer's automated support web site brought this issue up with the first search, so it must be a common problem for this model. Their only recommendation is to ensure you have the right drivers ( I did) and to plug the unit directly to the wall outlet and not a power strip. Tried that. Their next solution is to return it to the dealer for exchange. I would say definitely do not buy this model.

Summary: dont buy visioneer scanners they suck.
Review: One star is too good for this product..
ive had a visioneer 8700 USB about a year.. it just died..the scanner keeps telling me to unlock the scan head.. i physically removed the lock.. despite restarting the pc, reinstalling etc etc.. the fault persists..
The online help is useless, there are no specific references to the fault though i have found a large number of references ( but no solutions to it) on the web..
I cant reccomend the scanner.. there are equal and better second hand scanners on the market.. that dont suffer this fault.
I cant recommend the visioneer online support.. i still have a dead scanner..
I cant really think of anything good to say about visioneer.. i wish i had never wasted money on it...

Summary: Bad machine,,,,bad company
Review: Out of the box it had an intermittant problem. You get an error box that says the optical module is locked. Only it isn't. Go to the web site and they have a virtual troubleshooter that is absolutely of no use. Call the company customer service and they tell you to call tech support,(at $2.00 per minute on a 900 line. Because this is out of production, they don't care. Definitely don't buy this for a quarter. It would be a waste of a good quarter

Summary: 1st one died, the 2nd one is currently dying...
Review: The first Visioneer scanner I bought died after a year. So stupid me, I decided to get another one. Now the 2nd one is starting to do weird things like not scanning, the customize window keeps popping up to 'customize' it again, and so on. In simple words, it is dying. Don't buy this product!

Summary: One little design error
Review: This is a great scanner for the money. Unfortunately the design engineers made one little mistake which I corrected. It took care of the "scanner locked" problem. Now I love it. The software is great, the ergonomics are great, and it is FAST! To fix it is very simple, and requires no electronic skills.JA

Summary: One Star because there is nothing less to give it.
Review: This is by far, the biggest piece of garbage that it has ever been my misfortune to buy. If everything Visioneer makes is like this, they deserve to go out of business. I cannot believe they can foist off this kind of junk and get by with it. I will never buy another product with 'Visioneer' on it. Period. This scanner was a HUGE waste of money, not to mention a very good source of frustration. It worked long enough to scan about 5 items...but none of those consequtively. It will scan one, then if you're lucky you might get another scan out if after about 25 hours of fooling with it and it's pathetic connections, (lots of luck getting any decent drivers or updates) and countless reboots of your computer. Buy a real scanner, send this one to your enemies.

Summary: I have the Visioneer 8100
Review: This scanner is a few models up from the best scanner I ever had. Easy to use, good quality, and long lasting thus far. Even if it breaks in a year, don't be silly... 35 bucks? Throw it out and get the latest model. Keep the USB cable and sell it for 5 bucks... to anyone who has recently bought a USB Printer... they almost never come with the cable. hahah.. Whatver, I have the Visioneer 8100 and its almost exactly the same as this one and it rocks. PEACE OUT.
