A NIGHTMARE!

Date of Review:  May 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: TRy it if you dont have XP. Buy it from a Brick store so you can easily return it and get an extended warranty since it might fail soon.
Review: DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE XP. After reading all the comments of other customers in Epinions, PC WORLD and Amazon and comparing other scanner I figured that the system could have problems but it had a great price and it was worth giving it a try. I...

What? No on/off button? Upside down scans!

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2003
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.
Review: No on of off button? - That's right. You would think that they would have included this? The feature included in the software to turn off the scanner light after a specified amount of time does not always work correctly. The scanner software...

Best Scanner for the money

Date of Review:  Mar 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: Excellent scanner for the money with speedy, accurate scans
Review: I purchased a Microtek Scanmaker 4800 about 3 weeks ago after using a Microtek Scanmaker X6 USB for almost 2 years. This was a big step up in image quality for the work I was doing.

First off, the Scanmaker 4800 is a 1200x2400dpi scanner...

A Lot of Scan for the Buck

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2002
The Bottom Line: A great deal for the price -- I'd recommend this to someone who wasn't a novice at scanning.
Review: I'm a graphic artist, so I need a reliable scanner -- one with a reasonably high resolution, and one that I can plug in and have it work without a lot of fiddling from me.

The Microtek 4800 has been a dream -- with its small footprint, it...

Great value for little $$$.

Date of Review:  Aug 5, 2002
The Bottom Line: Great value, fast, and very easy to use (with the proper software).
Review: I bought this scanner, even after I read the bad reviews on it here, and I have to say that I have not experienced any of the problems the bad reviews talk about. First of all, I also had to buy a new USB internal card for my computer because I had...

Not recommended!

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2003
The Bottom Line: It's not worth the money.
Review: I have had this scanner for less than a year. It seemed like a good value at the time and had features that interested me. But the software has been buggy, the picture quality good, but not special. Scanning is slow - even at low resolutions - and...

Better Scanners Available

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: Don't buy this one. Between poor quality output and terrible support, you'll only be frustrated.
Review: Having used the Microtek ScanMaker 4800 for about two months, I can say that there are assuredly better choices. Scanners have downsized since the days of ScanJet II and others but this one has no substance whatever. The software was difficult to...
