Advantages: Cheap, Effective, Good Quality Scans Disadvantages: Bundled Software is not very easy to use, Is a little noisy and a little slow

I don't really use my scanner at home, as I am the only user of my home PC (nobody else in the house likes PC's!), but I put aside a Sunday afternoon to install the software, link up my scanner and test it with some photographs and documents.
The initial installation of the software was incredibly quick and easy with good on screen instructions and prompting.

Not a choice of scanner I would recommend to a business, but I feel this scanner is at the right price and has the right level of user friendliness to justify itself as a good candidate for the "Family Scanner". It's easy enough for the kids to use safely and doesn't require too much technical know-how to set up.
...from it – however, the Mustek 600CU does not disappoint. With a USB connection, the scanner is fast at transferring the images, although a little slow in the physical scanning. A range of scanning options mean that you can scan almost anything, at the best or most appropriate setting. For example, colour, black and white, grey scale or line art. There are resolutions beyond the need of ANYONE, and can even be linked directly to the printer ... ...not bad, and could be improved, especially with vivid colours, which turn out a bit wishy wash – also the line art setting needs improving, as when used with OCR (as the manual suggests), there are often discrepancies in the text. The scanner market is awash with similar models, and if you are to take my advice, don’t buy this one. Buy an Epson or that best you can afford. ...
