Ownership verified by DX Value For Money
Posted by Centauri on 5/28/2009
Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: Useful device, that acts like a USB keyboard input to the computer & requiress no drivers.
Works out of the box (Tested with UPC and code 128 barcodes).
Works well on Windows Vista x64.
Barcode is of good quality too.

Cons: Apart from not knowing the real brandname, nothing really.
The only exception is the manual is more or less designed for someone with a good general knowledge of barcode readers, but in most cases you wouldnt need to use the manual anyway.

Other Thoughts: If you do need the manual, I'd suggest to scan the pages you used, incase you ever lose it.

Bottomline: Great value for money barcode reader that works out of the box and on any system that accepts USB keyboard input (ie. vista x64, linux should work too.)
I'd buy another!

Pros: Well, reads bar codes. Does not work if you move the reader very fast or if you don't keep the reader close enough.

Cons: Mine did work great with smaller barcodes but didn't read longer ones, which are in my invoices. Those bar codes (128-B) are standard in finnish invoices, therefore if you are from finland you should look elsewhere.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: Great price, great functionality for basic usage, but check out if it supports the bar codes you need. This bar code reader does not support 11cm long bar codes.

Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: Works exactly as advertised. And exactly the same like other unit I have, only that the second unit was about four times expensive.
Works without any drivers with any operating system -- is detected like keyboard.
The unit is widely configurable and seems very durable.

Cons: Not much. It could be a bit smaller and could definitely come in black, white gets dirty easily.

Other Thoughts: The book with configuration codes should be available online, in case you loose it. I lost the one for my other reader and was glad for being able to download and print another.

Bottomline: Good for anyone who wants to play or work with barcodes.
