Visioneer Mobility Air Cordless Scanner

This scanner doesnt work! I purchased it online. When you follow the instructions to set up the eye fi card it fries the scanner and it doesnt work. I called Visioneer tech support and they indicated it was an aberration and to return it to the store and get a new one, which I did. I followed the instructions to the letter on the second scanner only to have the exact same thing happen. I returned it yet again and purchased a Brother 700D. So far so good but the jury is still out. Avoid the heartburn and skip this product.

Never had the chance to see if it even would work. Followed the directions to the letter. The scanner never would turn on. Was not going to waste my time to try another one if the first one was bad. You can't even start to see what it does till after you charge it for 8 hours, and no way to run it direct into the computer power to use it right away. I need something I can use now.

Disappointed. Could not get the thing to scan...wasted my money. Won't purchase any more over-the-counter scanners and will not recommend this product to any one of my 600 business customers.

I am thoroughly disgusted. There is NO ease to set this up and so far it is the most expensive paper weight I think you can buy. What a LOSS!

Good quick portable scanner. Easy to use. Love the wireless feature.

This thing is great.

As a working investigator, I use it extensively in the field to capture images of paper documents and plastic identification documents (it's great for ID's & drivers licences); especially when there's no fax machine available. Scanning straight to PDF saves a LOT of time, and most documents are small enough in bitsize to be easily sent as e-mail attachements. Its biggest pluses are battery power and scanning directly to SD cards or an ordinary USB flash drive without needing a computer until later--these features make it unique from all of the other portable scanners I've seen, which won't work unless tethered to a computer. Battery life is great; the rechargeable battery pack holds its charge for days when not in use, and charges quickly.

It's not perfect, though. It tends to start feeding documents before you can properly align them, causing them to skew. Although not needing a computer to scan is a huge plus, you can't immediately review the scanned image for quality. The SD card should be more recessed. If it were flush, you could simply store it in the slot all the time, but because it sticks out about halfway, it's easily dislodged and succeptible to breakage. It's not duplex, so you have to scan 2-sided documents twice. Maybe those changes will be in the next model...?
