Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have gone through two of these now. The first one seemed decent and I blame myself for overworking it one day. The second one, however, I barely used and was extremely careful in how many documents I put in at once. This one died after a few months with no warning. It is plugged into a surge protector with other items that still work so it was not a power fluctuation. It was just dead one day with no power or sign of life at all. I am annoyed because it was clearly a defective unit but I am outside any return window.
