Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The scanner itself is wonderful, and the software is straight-forward if you are moderately tech-savvy. It uses a single usb 3. Cable, the fewer cables the better. Once downloaded the software was really simple to use.

This scanner is very portable and easy to use. This uses a micro b like portable hard drives use. I want all my cables to be safe for my laptop.

Cons

Very disappointing product from brother. The customer support is negligent, frustrating and ridiculous. Customer service only speaks in a non-english language.

Returning this to amazon. Literally tossed the money in the garbage. Spent more than 2 hrs waiting on customer support. Better/easier to do a return with an amazon or walmart product than try to determine the manufacturing defect.

Two choices is doable but having only one choices is a hassle. Had to go online to download a manual. Manual is limited and does not help with using the software.

The receipt scanner jams on every receipt i feed into it. It just stops and claims to be jammed, sometimes at the beginning, or the middle. The problem seems to be with the automatic feeder.

I spent nearly 8 or 9 hours straight using it, and it warmed up, but never overheated, and i managed to scan a couple thousand ... Read More

Price

I definitely recommend the carrying case they offer for like $15.

The ascanner is not bad for the prize

Packaging/appearance

As shown in my pictures, it came well protected and in perfect conditions.

Competitiveness

My desktop is a high-end gaming machine that can run circles around my laptop without breaking a sweat, the difference is that ... Read More

Luckily i did not buy the 640 version which is not win 11-friendly according to other reviews.

I was so pleased with that one that i wanted to stay with the same brand.
