As good as a flatbed scanner, and so easy if you want to save family photos and documents to reprint, later
This scanner has been a lifesaver. I had a huge box of family photos to scan, and using a flatbed scanner was taking forever. The Doxie Go Plus can scan my photos in 1/4 the time (usually far less), and the results are just as good -- and sometimes better -- than my flatbed scanner. The results are excellent, with great resolution and clarity so any photo can be printed on demand with no loss of quality. If you've been meaning to start scanning and saving family photos or records, get this scanner. You'll be glad you did. It's an excellent value. Here are some more details from my experience with Doxie Go Plus: I bought this scanner, hoping it would scan clearly and easily. It's exceeded my expectations. I can sit in front of the TV and feed photos and papers through while I watch movies and shows. Even if I feed the photos through unevenly, the scanner handles it well, even correcting minor issues as needed. The scanner works quietly, is fast to charge, and very easy to clean after every 50 to 100 photos. (To clean out any residue or dust build-up, I just run a small, cloth-covered wedge -- provided with the scanner -- through the feed slot. I don't have to open anything. The process takes one second. Really.) I went through the entire box of photos -- hundreds of them -- in an afternoon. I had no problem feeding in thin, Polaroid photos as well as late 19th-century photos mounted on cardboard. I even scanned some photos on metal plates, and the results were superb. The scanned quality was just as good as my flatbed scanner. And, I have the option of scanning at 300 dpi or 600 dpi. Since using this scanner for that project, I've used it to scan my own drawings, my receipts, and old notes and bits of paper I might need to look at again, later. Everything went through smoothly and the results were consistently good. Though I've used the scanner a lot in the past month or so, it's still working as well as when it arrived from Amazon. I have absolutely no complaints about it, and can't think of anything negative to say. This scanner has completely changed how I deal with paper clutter, and it's small enough to throw into a backpack for research trips or business travel. I wish I'd had this years ago. I'm sure I wouldn't have as many storage boxes -- the "I might need this someday" kind -- if I could have scanned everything and let go of the actual paper. And, since I bought it for family photos (genealogy and general family memories), I'm able to share digital copies with my entire family, easily. No more worries about wonderful photographic images being lost or damaged!
