Consumer review (newegg.com)

Disappointed

Support at Mustek is not there! If you are looking for a scanner I suggest get one that has support people that want to help!

Its small and light weight. Very portable

This thing is a piece of junk! When it did work it smeared the image and if it was a document I had to tape the document to a piece of cardboard just so it was thick enough to run it through. Then later it started telling me that there is no paper in...

Mustek Scanexpress

Would be nice if it came bundled with filing software like it used to be.

Portable, small, functional, cost effective. Ease of installation

Very seldom, it will have problems with the 64 bit drivers and it will have to be unplugged and plugged back in. But at least don't have to reboot

Does not work with MacBook Pro

Literature claimed the scanner worked with Mac, I don't know if it works with a desktop machine, but it does not work with laptops. I even took it into the Mac store and they tried a number of different tests with the scanner and cables -- including on...

DO NOT ORDER IF YOU USE MAC OSX

Mustek customer service told me to use it on a windows based computer. I did not buy this product so that I would need to buy a new computer. I bought it because Manufacturer claims that it is compatible with Mac OSX, there is little to no support for...

Compact sleek design

First order did was a dud, and could not get power. Second order did work, but as far as OSX compatibility goes, it was also a dud. I could only scan 1/4 of a normal 8.5x11" document before the feeder would just stop

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Not sure about it

I was able to get the drivers to install on Windows 7 32bit. It will scan without the software in windows scanner wizard. Mustek will not be my first choice in the future

Doesn't use a power cable, because it is powered by USB

The synchronization with the software and the device sucks. I cant calibrate because when i put in a piece of paper it starts to auto feed and when i open the software to clean and calibrate, it doesnt recognize that the paper is already there. Really...

So far, not so good...

I would hope that Mustek makes an effort to A) provide Win7 drivers (tech said there was no planned release date) and, B) learn to treat their customers with some basic measure of respect. I'll never return to a Mustek product, ever, even if this...

Very nice and compact. USB powered, so no external power supply to lug around. Prompt tech support response

Left hand edge of page was badly distorted. Contacted tech support and was told that this unit was not supported under Win7, which struck me as odd two months after O/S release. Installed under Vista and had the same problem. When I reported to tech...

very handy to copy pictures

we used this when we met with a distant cousin to copy her pictures and geneology info. Some of the pictures were clearer than the originals. The product info doesn't tell you that a mini SD card is NOT INCLUDED. Another $15 to $20 to buy that.

portability

mini sd card not included
