Hardware Review
| Price Paid | 329 |
| Length of Ownership | 6-8mos |
| Would buy again? | No |
| Pros | The hardware is great, consistent, reliable. Lots of driver choices. Small footprint. |
| Cons | The software the comes with it is second-rate at best. Duplex requires their software. If you scan to pdf, it saves as both jpg and pdf, so you have to clean it up later. |
