Pros: Inexpensive first flatbed and slide scanner. OCR Software works decently.
Cons: Software, no on of off button. Buttons do not always work. Default upside Down
The Bottom Line: Find an industry leader in the scanner industry and buy their low end scanner. IT will work much better for you than this scanner.

Pros: Quick overview scan. Somewhat easy to use if you are used to scanners. Inexpensive
Cons: Instruction booklet lacking in instruction.
The Bottom Line: Keep all receipts and documentation in case of defects. Otherwise looking for an inexpensive scanner this would be it.

Pros: Cheap, Does the Job, Well built, Easy to use, Easy to setup
Cons: Film/Transparency adapter is pretty bad, reliability
The Bottom Line: Good budget scanner, it's not a professional scanner, and isn't intended as such, so don't expect one. Reliability may be questionable.
