Five Star Reviews: | 76% if you need a HD floor or desk scale, buy it. May 19, 2017 bought 6 of these and gave to friends, makes for an excellent all occasion, for the person that has everything gift. comes with a straight then spiral then straight cable, this is ok but have to get the read-out set just right so it doesn't spring back to the ground. Seems low cost but durable. good value. Quality shipping scale for a great price February 11, 2017 My scale at the office died and I needed a replacement quickly and without a being too costly. Thank you Amazon and Prime membership. It was super easy to set up and I did use the USB option for power....and I did end up getting a 15 foot USB extension ( five bucks ) as my computer is a pretty good distance from the scale. Bottom line, it works better and has more features than the industrial/expensive, POS that it replaced. The only thing I had to do was raise it, as I weigh large boxes on my work bench. I have a large kraft paper dispenser on my ship table and it is mounted with a fairly thick metal bracket. The scale is under an inch high. It's not a real large surface area, but I was able to weigh large boxes, 30" x 20 " with perfect stability and accuracy. I can't believe I only paid $35 for this. It appears to be of good quality and hopefully will last. Very few reviews show problems with durability. Just don't drop the thing and it should last a long time. Excellent for frequent travelers! January 23, 2017 I wanted a weighing scale uniquely to weigh heavy luggage for traveling and not for shipping so my review is limited to its usefulness to frequent travelers. I once had an embarrassing moment at the airport when I "guesstimated" the weight with one baggage but it ended up being 4 pounds over and I had to open my luggage in front of an ogling crowd to transfer the contents into another baggage. Yep, that wasn't fun. So instead of guesstimating or borrowing a weighing scale from others, I decided to purchase one for myself since I travel a LOT. My spouse and I are traveling soon and we are carrying a lot of baggage. If you're like us where you're trying to jam pack things into 4 checked baggages and 2 other carry-ons, and you need to keep alternating contents in various bags till the desired weight is achieved in each, then you'll understand this product is a God send. The scale was at a very nominal price when I purchased it. It arrived excellently packaged and the adhesive was very easy to remove. Once the scale is unwrapped, all you need to do is insert the (included) batteries and press the "on" button on the display. So far I have weighed baggage unto 75 lb and the scale has tolerated 75 lb just fine. Another great thing, the scale works great even in carpeting which is a relief to me since our household is carpeted is most rooms. All in all I'm very happy with this scale and have used it quite a bit now and it's holding up really well. It also looks nice with a neat grey metallic finish. I highly recommend this product for frequent travelers! I love this scale so much that I bought TWO of the exact same one! November 16, 2016 I love this scale so much that I bought TWO of the exact same one. Here are some reasons why I chose this scale versus other ones. 1. The weight limit was a high factor in my purchase. It has a capacity of 440lbs. Although I will never reach that limit, I know how tempting it is for my guests to weigh themselves, which is why I bought a second one for human use. :) 2. The overall sleek design. It is made of high-quality, one piece design, which makes it very easy to clean. I know other scales may prefer to have ridges in their design to prevent slipping, but I prefer this look, so dirt won't get caught in between the ridges. 3. The digital screen isn't stuck to the scale. I ship a lot of packages that are about 5 ft tall, and it would be extremely hard for me to look over the package to see the weight on the screen. With this design, I am able to mount the screen at eye height, away from the scale to read better. 4. Customer service. While setting up my scale, I accidentally broke the battery cover on the back of my scale. No big deal, but I figured I'd ask them if they could replace that specific plastic piece and they were quick to resolve my issue! A+ for customer service! I paid for both of my scales and was not paid to write this review. I am just so passionate about my scales. Highly recommend! Great value and solid quality July 1, 2016 Great scale, especially for the price. Well-made, nothing flimsy, nothing there that can break off, unless mishandled in transit, I imagine. The scale, itself weight about 4 lbs. The reader, including the battery, about 8 oz. It would be helpful for the manufacturer to mention the range of weight it will read rather than only the upper limit. I can confirm that the lower limit is 0.5, as someone else here stated. Anything lighter like, say, envelopes, won't register. We don't mind because in our setup, we have a different scale for that. We are very happy and ever so grateful for the good price and good quality. I wonder if the thinness of the scale (it stands 1 inch tall) would be an issue with oversize parcels. A long box may hang over too much, touch the ground, causing the scale to give a false reading. But in that case, you could stand it on end. May be worth taking into account when purchasing. For our needs of weighing medium size boxes, 16-25" per side, 10-50 lbs per box, it works swimmingly. Very happy, very pleased. Arrived the next day. | 56% Works well but no User Manual July 31, 2017 The product did scan all the code I tried, even some products that were still in their plastic bag (very nice, I did not have to unpack them). Scanner seems to perform as well as other name brand (Symbol) scanner I have used.The default setting was automatic scan which for my application was a bit annoying. I was able to fix that by scanning one of the code on the sheets that came with the scanner but there was otherwise no user manual.I wish I could get a user manual to know how to use the RS 232 function... Used in our elections May 19, 2017 I am a member of our county electoral board -- a rural Virginia county. We use laptops with our pollbook installed to check in voters. That is, the laptop contains a database with search capability to lists all our registered voters.At each election, we have a small problem -- 4,5,6, 7 voters out of 4,500 -- with the wrong voter being checked in as a result of poll worker error. Most of our poll workers are older folks, not comfortable with computers.We ordered these scanners because, according to the software vendor, could simply plug it into the laptop and scan a voter's driver's license or voter ID card and the database will look up the voter, thereby eliminating operator error.WORKS PERFECTLY. Plugged in the scanner, no setup, started scanning. Our poll book errors are zero. We have six polls, two laptops per poll, 12 scanners plus two for training and spares.Not a problem and the poll workers love them. I like this Barcode reader October 15, 2016 I like this Barcode reader. I have had it for a day and am pleased with the unit. It should meet my needs very well. The unit is well build and appears durable. The stand that came with the unit is much nicer than the stand shown in the illustration, It has a flexible metal neck extension which very robust and I like the construction very much. I ordered this USB Automatic Barcode Scanner thinking the "automatic" meant the scanner would a) sense a object, b)turn on the laser, c)read the code, d)enter the number in a spreadsheet, and e)increment cursor to the next line. This scanner does not sense objects but can simulate that mode by having the laser on continuously (that is one option). It was simple to get to work: open a spreadsheet, place the cursor in a cell, plug the scanner in a usb port, place a barcode under the scanner, and pull the trigger. The scanner beeps when a code is read. I have Windows 10 and the scanner worked great, no issues. If you want automatic sensing, be sure that "automatic sensing" is in the scanner description. Good simple scanner for the price - plug and play December 18, 2015 I bought this as a replacement for an old wireless unit that was not operating properly and for which replacing the battery was difficult. This new scanner worked fine right out of the box. I did not do any adjustments and it put the bar codes and UPC codes directly into my documents or page forms when the trigger was pressed. It was a bit more difficult to get it to read the code but that (distance, angle, etc.) will undoubtedly improve as I get used to it. It doesn't appear to have an on/off switch and since it is drawing power from the PC I will have to get used to the green light all the time until l play with the settings. The stand is not 'optional' as the listing states but is included with every scanner and it does not look like the one pictured but has a metal flexible riser with a flexible hose cover if you chose to use to hide the metal part. The instructions are very minimal so I am glad I didn't have any questions, just plugged the cord into the USB slot on the back of my desktop and I was good to go. I may experiment with changing the sound it makes by scanning one of the many barcodes on the enclosed sheet that is used to change the settings. Don't miss the old wireless scanner because I only use one at my workstation and the cord on the new one is long. Good July 30, 2015 I use this in the home office so the workload is lighter than say a department store. The instructions that came with this product are virtually non-existent but there is enough there to get you started. It comes with a barcode command sheet to scan for setup and configuration of the equipment. I would like to have seen an online reference or resource to be able to print another key sheet if the original one becomes unreadable from damage or wear, or lost. The scanner works well and has no problem reading the labels that I use. It does come with a stand that, doesn't seem to hold the scanner very well and the base is a little light so if bumped or jarred ever so lightly, the base would tip over or the scanner would fall off. This is easily fixed with a small tab of Velcro to secure the base to the work surface and a rubber band is enough to hold the scanner to the stand. All in all, it was a good purchase. The manual made programming easy once you played around with it a little September 10, 2011 On September 1st, 2011 I ordered a USB Automatic Barcode Scanner Scanning Barcode Bar-code Reader with Hands Free Adjustable Stand (Black). As I've mentioned before I used to have my own business reselling products on Amazon. When listing products on Amazon I spent a considerable amount of time manually entered UPC's. When I received bulk quantities of a single item manual entry wasn't an issue but as my business grew I was taking in more miscellaneous lots so finding a time saving solution was important. I selected this barcode scanner based on price and reviews. The manual made programming easy once you played around with it a little. This saved me so much time I instantly fell in love with it. I wasn't sure how on earth I survived without it. I used this for many years and it always worked perfect. Obviously if you need to be more mobile a cordless gun would be better, for me it worked great having it on the hands free stand plugged into to my computer. Not only did I use this for scanning product UPC's but I also used it to scan in tracking numbers from shipping labels. I still have this and long to be scanning barcodes.Seller: 3rd Party MerchantCondition: NewPurchase price: $52.99 (Shipped) | 87% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 11% Nice Scale. Cannot Validate Accuracy Though. August 29, 2017 I like the scale. I bought it because I thought it would be more accurate than my cheap bathroom scale. It ended up being within 1 lb of the average bathroom scale measurement. I still prefer this scale though because it registers the weight instantly and continuously (i.e., live). The old bathroom scale calculates and then displays its measurement. However, despite the similarity in my two scales' measurements, the scale at my gym always measures at least 5 to 7 lbs heavier. I'm wearing the same thing and measurements are done within an hour of each other. So I guess either my two scales are both wrong or the gym scale is wrong. I don't know how to explain it. That said, the scale has an attractive stainless steel finish. It looks nice. The display is not so attractive and is not backlit, but it doesn't bother me. I like that even sitting on the floor I can turn it on by pressing the button with my toe and then step on the scale. No bending. Also, it will turn itself off after a period of time. So no need to turn it off. First I thought I locate it not the best place. But after several times tested May 16, 2017 First I thought I locate it not the best place. But after several times tested, I'm not frustrated any more. This scale can't give me exact weight of a light/or small stuff which has less than 0.6 oz (my scale issue Maybe differ from yours. But I don't intend to return it for as long as it is working exactly on different heavy stuff. (For small weighed items, put 5 or more on scale, and then divided by total numbers, so I get the closet accurate weight of each item. So far so good.) Worked 1x April 29, 2017 Worked 1x and now won't turn back on. Now I can't return because I'm past the 30 day return policy. Good luck with yours. Now I have a flat paperweight. Revision: After my review I was contacted by company and without any hassle I was sent our a new unit that works great. I have my own weights to make sure it's accurate and haven't had a bad reading yet. Great scale with minor problems March 19, 2017 Great scale with minor problems. Loose wire on 9 volt connector clip but fixed by using a cable clamp top to bottom on clip and battery. There is no hole or mounting point on the back of the display for wall mounting. Instructions say use alkaline battery but a standard cheap battery is enclosed in box. Otherwise, a good product and I am going to keep it. Good scale for the price, but don't expect super high quality. Gets the job done October 15, 2016 There was a broken side on the panel when it arrived even though very well packaged and the panel was bent. It looks like it came from the factory that way, but it doesn't prevent me from using it so it's not a huge deal for me. You have to push the buttons down very hard until you hear a beep, at first when you push lightly you think that you've pushed it but you have to push super hard. But I don't change modes often so that is not a huge deal. I liked getting a big scale at a great price and having the panel with a long cord so I can weigh big packages. Overall, it's good for the money for what I need. | 14% Helps me register products because my old eyes can't read those tiny numbers July 1, 2017 Not a bad little scanner. I honestly needed it for work, but I find myself using it to enter bar-codes off of products when registering them. I cannot read these little serial numbers anymore! I have come across one bar code that it would not read (the s/n off of my Acer laptop) but it read a different bar-code of the same label. Like most of these imported items very little instructions but clear enough. It does come configured to automatically turn on and stay on as soon as it is plugged in which seems backwards to me, but easy enough to change. DON'T lose the sheet of setup codes. but I'd like to change it's mode so that it only reads ... May 16, 2017 Works well, but I'd like to change it's mode so that it only reads when I push the trigger. Currently it is on all the time and every once in a while it just randomly beeps and acts like it reads something random (even though no barcode is presented).I printed out a manual that supposedly goes with it, but nothing I do seems to change its behavior.I guess I'm unclear how to get it to enter programming mode.It is connected to my Windows PC with a USB cable. No frills, but no major problems either February 16, 2017 I bought this to use with Readerware cataloging software and after I followed Readerware's instructions to initialize the unit, it worked fine. There are essentially NO instructions that come with the unit itself beyond a set of bar codes that have 1-3 word titles. You have to piece together what you think you need to do and keep trying things. Some tidbits that might be useful: Physical assembly was easy once I figured out it was necessary to compress the plastic sleeve that goes over the stand's metal gooseneck. The design ensures everything stays tight once assembled, but it took a moment to figure out the screws could not reach their mating holes without squashing the plastic sleeve to make it shorter. I soon learned I had better success at scanning ISBN codes on books when I covered over the Price code block that is next to it; and I also had much better luck scanning codes from CD / DVD cases when I took the printed sleeve out of the vinyl jacket. I suspect that reflections off the clear vinyl were confusing the scanner. I did find that if I did not have the stand angled at just the right amount then the weight of the cord pulled the scanner out of the stand. Unless you are scanning a lot of items continuously, I have found it easier to just grab the scanner and pull the trigger rather than try to hold the target under the stand-mounted scanner. Frankly, for the price, I am surprised at how well it works. Awesome Scanner!! February 17, 2016 I am so happy with this scanner. I would have given a 5 star if there were instructions in the manual. All it had were settings and specifications. I even had to look at the picture again online to be able to assemble the stand and guessed the installation of the scanner. If familiar with how it works tho, you'll eventually figure it out. I tested the gun and it worked as expected. Had to do a couple of restore defaults as I played on some of the bar code setup. Again, not understanding what they were for, it took me time to figure out how to set up the hands free code. Just did a trial and error and again it eventually worked. Other than those I mentioned, the scanner had a real bright light that quickly recognizes any bar code. The sound has a very loud tone. Very audible but I may also need to see how to lower it down so I can still use it at night. Overall, for my online retail purpose, I am so satisfied with it so far (I just got it yesterday so I do not know yet its durability tho it seems sturdy). Before purchasing, I also researched on other scanners. I was wanting to get a bluetooth scanner so I can have it wirelessly. But thinking about it, I may not need it wireless since I will have to be next to the computer anyway while I scan so no point. Plus, the price is amazing - unbeatable; I bought it with Prime so I got it with 2 day FREE shipping. Hurray!! works well for me January 10, 2014 I received this barcode scanner today and was able to put it to use within a matter of minutes. I was a bit worried after having read some of the other reviews and even more so when I saw that the unit did not come with any useful instructions, but I was able to get it set up and working very quickly.Like some other reviewers noted, the unit that arrived was a bit different from that pictured, but not substantially so. The stand was easy enough to put together, but it is very lightweight and the scanner does not snap into it, only rests in the holder. That means it will easily fall out. I fixed this problem with a rubber band. The lightweight nature of the stand means that it will tip over fairly easily. That could be a problem if used in a location where it might occasionally get bumped. The stand I have came with two holes in the base where you could attach it to a board or wall. The unit seems to not be particularly fragile. After using it for a few moments I left my desk and one of my cats knocked it to the floor (I hadn't put the rubber band on it yet). I picked it up and kept right on using it.The included cable attaches to the unit in a way that would make it somewhat difficult to remove. The other end is a USB connector to plug into a computer.No software came with the unit, but when I plugged it into my computer (running Windows) it searched for and found the required driver. I then opened the program with which I wanted to use the scanner and put the cursor into the area for the barcode. I placed an item with a barcode under the scanner and it read the code and entered the numbers into the program's field.Some reviews have said that their units were not automatic, but mine is. There is a sensor on it that recognizes when something is placed near the scanner. The light then comes on and scans the item. When the item is removed the light goes off. There is a green ready light on the top of the unit to let you know when it is ready (on) or scanning (off).For the most part the scanner did well with the 200 or so items I initially scanned. It usually read the code quickly regardless of whether it was "up" or "down." It also did well based on how far away the item was from the scanner. I usually tried to keep it at a couple of inches, but it may have ranged from 2 to 6 or so. The angle also didn't seem to matter too much. (In other words, it didn't have to be perfectly flat to read the code.) Despite this success, every once in a while I would have to try several times to get the scanner to read the code. On a handful of items it wouldn't seem to read it at all and I had to enter the codes into my program by hand.On the whole, I am quite happy with this item so far. I am using it to enter a lot of items into collection databases and this will save me a huge amount of time. (The items I entered so far were all DVDs. I'll update this review if it has trouble with other items I plan to enter.) Very easy to install, worked out of box, poor manual December 3, 2012 I bought this USB scanner to work with my Quickbooks Cash Register Plus program from Intuit. The software indicates that only a Honeywell 1300 series scanner was compatible with the software, and that was $200. I decided to try this scanner at risk. I plugged it in, Windows 7 instantly installed the driver and I was up and running. Seems to work flawlessly with the Quickbooks software, so I'm really glad I didn't spend the $200 for the other scanner. The product seems fairly well built, but I'm not sure how long it would last with heavy or rough use, but for $24, that's what I would expect. The manual that came with the scanner might as well been written in Klingon. I didn't even use it and I'm not sure that I could if I needed to. If you have problems integrating this scanner with your system, be prepared to research on google. I was lucky and didn't have any problems. Provided it continues to work as it is now, I'd buy it again. It is supposed to have a motion activated sensor, but I haven't tried to even figure it out yet (bad manual). | 8% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 3% had high hopes for this but it doesn't weigh the ... September 14, 2017 had high hopes for this but it doesn't weigh the small usps boxes and legal size envelopes i'm shipping out, possibly they weigh under 6oz but i doubt that they all do...going to have to buy another one that can read under 1lb. Will not weigh lightweight items September 3, 2017 I could not get this to weigh anything smaller than 6 pounds. I needed ounces so I had to send it back. Not sure if I was doing something wrong or it was just not working properly. So if you need to weight smallet, lightweight items, keep looking. Sent it back because of minimum weight to make the scale function August 16, 2017 There is a minimum weight on this scale, which I feel sort of defeats the purpose. Had to send it back. Worked great for a little then weights went off ?? April 21, 2017 Scale worked great ,but now it has started not weighing things correctly causing little problems when mailing packages and prepaying for labels..says it has a good warranty but cant find info to get a replacement or this one calibrated ... only used it a few time before problems so and now in time shortness its been almost a year since purchase and maybe 5 solid uses so i have to drop stars but hopefully i can find how to get it fixed as opposed to new purchase?? Beautiful scale. April 17, 2017 Beautiful scale ... Nice chrome.. Great packaging. Shipped fast. But I ordered for shipping and it does not register ounces under a pound. Over a pound it's great but nothing under a pound. For me it is not often useful. I'm really bummed. Three Stars October 11, 2016 works, but it's a strain on the eyes in the warehouse. I wish I chose one with a backlight. | 8% Terrible instructions. No tech support number September 28, 2017 IMPORTANT INFO FOR PEOPLE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS PRODUCT: Terrible instructions. No tech support number. The following is what I have found may be helpful on set up (cause it sure doesnt tell you any of this in the manual) You plug the scanner into your USB, on a Mac it seems to think its a key board and wants you to verify it, but anyway, moving along, scan (at a slight angle) the tiny bar code on page 4 at foot of page titled: 'enter set up', then go to the bar code selection and choose the one you want. Most likely 'reading mode' - multiscan, then open a text field in whatever program you want (Excell etc) and it will show the UPC code in that field. If you want to try this right now, just click on the 'customer question' field on this Amazon page and it will act as your text field. Scan something and the UPC will show in that field (your welcome) Barcode Scanner Works Well, Stand Can't Be Assembled April 18, 2017 Product works well with Windows 7-based POS system. But the stand for the barcode scanner can't be assembled, so if you're wanting the stand, it won't work (doesn't make a difference for me). But the barcode scanner itself works very well! this is pretty much useless March 23, 2017 I'm not a fan of the fact that in order to operate this, you have to have a small manual with "activation" barcodes. Since purchasing this, I've lost the manual and now, this is pretty much useless. I can't find a replacement manual online or anything to help. It started out as a decent scanner, but it didn't last June 27, 2016 This scanner did okay at first. It didn't necessarily scan barcodes instantly, but it was _way_ better than using my phone (which is what I'd been doing before). However, over time, it's had a harder and harder time scanning barcodes. It's gotten to the point that I'm lucky if it recognizes one at all. And I've only had it about 6 months. So, maybe I was just unlucky, but it seems like the durability of this particular scanner is not high. To replace it, I bought a more expensive one (the TaoTronics TTBS-012), and that one scans almost everything as soon as the laser hits the barcode (certainly faster than this one did when new and _way_ faster than it does now). So, it's a huge improvement, though I have no idea how well it will last.At this point, I'm inclined to say that this scanner is just too cheapy. It doesn't scan as well as a more expensive scanner would, and it didn't last. And all I've used it for is scanning the few books and Blu-rays that I get a week, not for anything super intensive, which makes me that much more leery about its quality. But maybe you'll have better luck with it. Product Review. Product is not what is depicted in picture. June 9, 2016 When viewing the main image for this product, one would expect the product to look as pictured. However, the item I received isn't as exactly depicted, see below for reasoning on stars given.-1 Star for stand not being as depicted/scanner does not sit properly on stand. To further elaborate, the stand is wired, made to bend which isn't so bad when first thinking about it. However, the scanner itself does not sit properly on the stand due to it being held together by a twisting washer that you self install.-1 Star for poor instruction manual provided. The manual itself only tells you how to hook up the scanner, it doesn't provide any information on how to put the stand together.In conclusion, I rate this product 3 stars, if I could rate it 2.5 out of 5 I would. I feel that anything below that is a bit harsh, considering the product does function as expected. Ordered Two - Inconsistent! May 26, 2014 I needed two of these but decided to order one and try it out before ordering a second one. When it came we gave it a test and it worked great! It required a little assembly and a easy-to-follow diagram was included.Based on the first one I decided to order a second one. When it came it was completely different! I wouldn't mind except the second one doesn't work near as well as the first one at reading the barcode. It is very frustrating to the point we have to take it out of its cradle and press the trigger to get it to scan the barcode.Just saying, if you order, it's a bit of a crap shoot:-/ | 3% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 3% Not accurate. May 10, 2017 Not accurate. Scale does not give the correct weight. Also does not pick up light items. The casing for the reader is poor quality. Certainly not a very "SMART WEIGH" scale! March 16, 2017 Does not weigh in increments less than one once. Does not even display weights under 8 ounces! Mostly useless for my internet sales boxes, bags and envelopes. Cannot trust weight, does not match PO scale. I have stopped using it and gone back to my older, smaller scale. Had hoped this one would work for all my needs but it fails miserably. Actually worked fine for first 3/4 days, or at least I assumed it did until I started getting false weights or no display at all for small packages. Bummer, I'll order another for different vendor. I only have done it 4 months and put it ... November 21, 2016 I only have done it 4 months and put it to the side because my shop wasn't up and running until now. I've gone through 3 batteries only to discover it's the cords that have slits not the batteries. Huge loss of money and now to order a new one. Skip unless you ship bigger packages. June 2, 2016 Mine does not read below 6oz and then slightly questionable. Agree that if you need to measure small, it is useless. Arrived with no instructions, which although a scale and straightforward for most, still would like to have. Readibility limit is incorrect. March 29, 2016 The manual says the minimum readibility is 2 oz. however, I can't read any item that's less than 6 oz. Is there a problem with the particular one that I bought? | 6% The Yugo of scanners September 8, 2017 No setup instructions, not even a guide for how to use the code book. Thank God for search engines and online videos. The stand is useless; the base is lightweight and topples at the slightest touch - and the scanner is not at all secure. I stopped bothering with trying to use the stand after about 10 minutes. The scanner itself works well enough but is cheaply made. When this one breaks or fails, which I have no doubt it will, I will be sure to avoid this one.Learn from my mistake and keep scrolling. The item I received is not the item pictured. April 29, 2017 The item I received is not the item pictured. The stand is completely different and I can not figure out how or if it fits in the holder stand. I haven't tried sing it because of this and will return it Started out great, getting worse by the week April 18, 2017 I bought this scanner for my Amazon shipments. At first, it worked flawlessly. It made things go SO much faster and I never had any issues with it. However, after a month or two, it started being more finicky about scanning. It has gotten progressively worse. I am looking to replace it now. I can't stand having to click a billion times, zooming in and out, back and forth, fast and slow, lit and shadowed, in hopes that it will decide to scan something. Waste of money!! Did not work on my MAC April 5, 2016 I have searched the over 300 questions and answers with no luck on how to fix this thing. It worked for literally 1 day and I have not been able to get it do anything but give me these weird letters/characters in the Amazon product search box. Since I was just getting started with FBA I figured I would give it some time and do some searching to see if I missed something. Got busy, missed the return period and now I'm stuck with this thing. :(See attached screenshot of what pops up when I attempt to scan an item. It give the wrong item and odd looking characters. I downloaded manual ,which is useless as it provides no instructions...just a page full of bar codes. The seller assumes we are all bar code wizards. Sure wish this would have worked for me. Surprise! May 27, 2015 The one I received is a bit different than pictured when I purchased it and very different from the one that just popped up when I just clicked the link, so it seems that several different kinds of barcode readers are being sold under the same ID and this review may be meaningless. You may get a very different unit.Anyway, the one I got works OK, requires minimal setup and comes with some setup barcodes and almost know instructions.It is not auto-sensing, so you have to press the button every time you use it or leave it on all of the time, which can be annoying.It seems to read everything that may other barcode readers could but may be a bit slower and was managed to find readable barcodes where there were none, periodically sending arbitrary characters to the computer.Arbitrary characters popping up at random times make me nervous, so it's back in the box and I've ordered a different one from someone else. poor scanner quality; seller good to work with. September 18, 2014 I was very disappointed in these scanners. In fact, we returned both of them. We wanted them for daily use in our library, however, every time we turned the computer off, we had to unplug/replug the USB cord to get the scanner to work. Also, the user's manual was very difficult to understand - it seemed to have been written by someone who did not have a good grasp of the English language, so there were sections that made little to no sense. Along with that, there was no way to contact the manufacturer to see if they knew a solution to the problem. I was grateful that the seller was gracious and allowed us a return on their dime along with a refund. Thanks, Brainydeal for working with us! | 1% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

One Star Reviews: | 7% BURNS THRU BATTERIES September 10, 2017 I have had this over a year now, use weekly, and I curse this product every week because I use it probably 2-4 hours a week and make sure it's turned off when not in use and it goes through a battery a week!!!! My food scale in my kitchen hasn't had the battery changed in 4 years! At some point I'll wise up and buy a new scale. Do not buy- piece of crap August 31, 2017 Zero stars!! Only worked for 5 weeks - just broke 2 weeks after the return window and this piece crap does not work though all wiring are good and I even have the plastic wrapping - only used it few times - worthless - not happy at all Also the procedure to turn the scale on was not very good.. August 19, 2017 This scale is not sensitive enough. When placing an item that was up to 5 ounces it wouldn't register there being anything there more than half the time. Also the procedure to turn the scale on was not very good...it defaults to metric every time so you have to turn on...wait 5 or so seconds for it to zero out, then press the convert button so it will readout in ounces/pounds. Didn't work when I received it. :( August 17, 2017 Received the scale and it doesn't work. That's the reason for 1 star. Control unit comes on but doesn't respond to any weight on the platform. :( I'm returning it and don't think I'll take a chance on another. Condition of the unit looked good except for a small dent in the platform on one corner. None of that matters since it doesn't work. Don't buy if you need to weigh anything less than a pound August 10, 2017 If you're looking for a postal scale that works for any package or envelope that weighs less than a pound, don't buy this scale. Trying to figure out how to return it. Useless for my business when I have to guess the weight of any package less than a pound. | 16% dissappointed! May 10, 2017 I ordered this scanner with stand specifically because the photo makes it look like you can put it in the provided stand and the scanner will be free standing. The thought here was I could set up the scanner and then swipe a cd/book or whatever under the scanner. Unfortunately, the stand that was included in no way works. The bracket does not fit the scanner as shown in the photos. I didn't bother trying the scanner out since the stand and compatible scanner is what I need. Sending it back to Amazon. I see in the latest reviews other people are having the same problem. Disappointment In A Box May 5, 2017 The item sent to me was not the same as the picture. The base was a different shape. The middle part was different, a tubelike plastic piece with a separate steel rod in the middle that didn't hook into the base properly. There were no directions. Sent it back. Junk. BUY A BETTER SCANNER THIS IS SIMPLY NOT WORTH THE FRUSTRATION. February 27, 2017 The scanner does not work properly it will not scan a UPC code without repeated tries and so frustrating. I can type it faster then it scans.. I purchased this in hopes to quickly scan a UPC barcode. But thought I could buy a less costly scanner but this was not wise.This scanner has alot of pieces to put together which also is annoying. Won't work with my MAC September 4, 2016 I have a few problems using it with my MAC and it is not working. My non MAC friends love it. I scanned the sheet with barcodes that came with the scanner, but it will not automatically scan my barcode as it is in the stand and beeping is continuous once it starts going. I want it to be silenced and just scan. For me it has no purpose the way it is not serving the purpose I intended it to us. I rated it based on this experience. If I got it working and able to save me time using it automatically, not continue to beep with a loud beep and then a more quieter beep (like a double continuous beep) I would rate it differently. I purchased it based on all the reviews. I may try giving it another try however. I would love to have a working scanner. I hope this review helps other MAC users when making a decision. I want to be more positive but with it not serving my purposes I can't. Awful product, bad customer service June 30, 2016 I previously left a review for this scanner a few weeks ago and somehow it was removed. I am not sure hows this was able to occur since my review was accurate and in no way inappropriate. The scanner did not work well from the start it wasn't really picking up the bar codes and I had to program it to constantly scan so that it work work decently. After a few hours of frustration it completely stopped working. I know that my review made it to the company because I received a message from them in broken English stating that "I am so sorry for this, and i wil replacement, can you withdraw the feedback? Thank you." I have yet to receive a replacement not that I wanted one anyway, nor did I remove my feedback. The next day they sent another message "Warm tips: please be sure to insert the usb cable with your devices interface well when using the scanner.Thank you！I reflect your problem to technical staff, they think may be you do not interface well. " They then went on to tell me how to properly interface. I am shocked by their customer service, the person handling customer feedback should be able to properly write in the language that is used. Second of all, I know how to properly interface, its not my fault that this is a crappy scanner. I recommend spending a little more money for a more quality product. I do not understand how they got my original review removed, hopefully this one stays. Consistently Reads Barcodes Incorrectly October 27, 2015 I purchased this barcode scanner to give my Bluetooth portable scanner a break. I use the Bluetooth scanner for sourcing in stores as well as scanning purchased items to list them for FBA. My Bluetooth scanner very rarely reads a barcode incorrectly--maybe 1 in 100 scans. Now, enter this scanner...Setup was quite easy on my Windows 7 64-bit laptop. Plugged it into the USB port, it auto-loaded drivers, and it was ready to go. It scanned ten or fifteen items with no problem, but then it began reading the barcodes incorrectly. I scanned several barcodes into Notepad to analyze the problem and found that it was consistently inserting a 7 in the middle of the code. Multiple scans of the same barcode continued to have the incorrect 7 inserted in the code. I tested this on multiple barcodes and found that it was doing this in about 19 out of 20 scans. Not a good average. Occasionally it would read a barcode correctly after multiple scans of the same barcode, but it was rare. I then scanned the same barcodes with my Bluetooth scanner for comparison and they were read 100 percent correctly.By this point, I was annoyed but still rather curious, so I installed it on another laptop and scanned the same barcodes again. Again, it began inserting a 7 in the middle of almost every scan.In summary, you get what you pay for, and quality assurance is obviously not a big consideration during the production of this cheap scanner. I will be returning it and either ordering a more expensive one or continuing to use my Bluetooth scanner for listing as well as sourcing. I am still rather curious about its obsession with sevens, but not curious enough to mess with this thing any longer. | 1% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
