very easy to use

once I figured out how to widen it, the scanning has been amazing. from old 3×3 photos to 8×10 documents, I’ve been able to scan everything. I forgot about the sleeve for tiny things until looking at other reviews. I put in the memory card and then installed scan2pc and connected the USB so I’ve been scanning everything to my computer. some of the thicker pictures don’t want to go, and if the paper is crinkled, I just scan from the bottom and turn it around in photo editor. I couldn’t be happier and so far, none of the white lines mentioned. no matter where you insert the picture, it just scans that – no white space around it so that was cool.

I love this product!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2013

I was skeptical based on what some of the reviewers stated about white lines. I received mine today at 1:00 in the afternoon. After 4 1/2 hours, I scanned all 1024 photos my mom gave me years ago. I am planning on giving a DVD to my mom, one to my dad (they are divorced) and one to my grandmother for Christmas so that they can play the photos off of their DVD player like the electronic photo frames but better! It was great looking through all the old photos from my parents marriage (they are no longer married) and family memories with members of the family who are no longer with us. This scanner is 100% worth it in my opinion. I was surprised at how fast the process went. And to get started, it took less than 5 minutes to read the "quick start" guide, put in my 4GB SD card and start scanning.

Great idea, but.. Geez – what about those white lines?

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2013

The options and features are very compelling. Very easy to use and FAST SCANNING! But, I read several reviews about white lines appearing on the scanned images and many cleaning steps Pandigital support instructed their customers to do. I decided to buy anyway thinking these issues could be user related. Well, right out of the box, starting with the first scan, there was a very pronounced white line across all photos at the same location. I attempted to clean the lens, but nothing helped. Instead of spending endless hours on support and exchanges, I simply returned it. Now looking for an alternative product, but not buying Pandigital again.

I used it to scan about 150 old family photos, quickly with no fuss. And I found it worked as well without the included sleeve as with, admittedly the sleeve helps ensure the image is straight. I’m really pleased with it, so far.

Constant use Causes Streaks in the photo

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is my 2nd Pandigital Photo Scanner. I love the job it does up to about 1000 photos and then after that much use the roller inside geets a streak from use and it causes all the photos to have that streak and there is nothing you can do to clean it and make it function again. I would probably buy another one, but wish there was a scanner made that would allow taking apart and cleaning properly so it would continue to operate like it does at the start of use.

… hundred pictures of different sizes and the scanner works great!

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

So far I’ve scanned a couple hundred pictures of different sizes and the scanner works great!

Update: After scanning another hundred or so pictures a couple of white lines started appearing on the scans. I ran the calibration page through the unit several times but that didn’t work. I gave up after working with it for an hour. At this point I would probably return it if I hadn’t discarded the box. It’s a shame, too, because the concept is awesome and saves lots of time compared to a flat bed scanner.

White lines are a problem despite cleaning every 10-20 images

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

Well, after reading all of the reviews, I bought this scanner anyway.
It arrived on time.
Packaging was quite good (wasn’t thrown in the box but taped to the box so it would get damaged.)
Set-up was easy.
The scans worked nicely for about the first 50 photos and then I started getting the dreaded white lines.
I cleaned as directed, calibrated as directed and the next 10 photos worked nicely. After that the lines appear again.
I repeated the process; clean, calibrate, scan. Ten or more images scanned and then white lines.
So here I am, not quite sure what to do. I have about 1,000 more photos to scan and it doesn’t seem practical to have to clean after 10 images each time. The cleaning device seems inadequate.
Has anyone used something different to clean this that works better?

Best photo and document scanner I ever had

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

I use this scanner every day to scan invoices, receipts, bills and other important papers. I toss all the unwanted paper and it feels good not to have to use a large file cabinet. All the really important documents that I keep (after scanning), I put into a small portable file box. There is a slot on the unit, just like the smaller version, for scanning slides and negatives. However, I can’t get my negative adaptor to work with this unit. Has the adaptor changed, or is it different than the one for the small unit? My smaller unit is still working, so I just use it to scan the negatives and slides.
