Customer Reviews And Scores

I took the liberty of including a screenshot of a few different reviews from Amazon so that you can see what others are saying.
This gives an overall rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars! After doing a little more research on the ratings’ system on Amazon, you will be hard-pressed to find many other products with a better rating.
Of course, to be fair I took a look at the reviews that gave this product a 1-star rating to see what the case is with the poor reviews. For the most part, the main issue had to do with the installation of the scanner.
And out of those, most problems seem to have been user error when installing. In other words, most of the issues could have been easily been fixed if the users had asked for some support.
