5.0 out of 5 stars Great Scanner

Using to scan every photo from childhood before they disintegrate. Does a great job. Fast and super clear pictures. Simple to use. Great quality. No issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Pleased
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2023
This is a very good, low end scanner. This is my "go to" scanner, which I use mostly for documents and pictures. I have had this scanner for several years, so I am not sure if this model is still available. Even if it is available, I think the price has increased substantially. I paid around $70.

I recommend you experiment with the scanner's user interface to find the settings that work best for the types of scanning you do. Once you find the settings you like, document them.

Pro:
Compared to other scanners I have used, this scanner does a good job with shaded areas using low DPI.

At low DPI, very fast scans.

I have been very pleased with black & white and color pictures. Extremely close to the original, even when blown-up in photo editing. For sepia-toned pictures, I use color.

GREAT size for traveling.

Cons:
The connecting cord (for data transfer and power), has sometimes lost connection due to slight jostles. It is better now that I connected it to a tight-fitting USB port which is then connected to the computer.

For small pictures (4x6, 5.7, etc.), I could never get the scanner to just pick up the picture. I now just scan all pictures at 8.5 x 11 and crop them in my photo editor. Orientation can also be flakey, so I again use the photo editor to rotate as needed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Seems decent for household use
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2024
I had a HP Scanjet, which was solid, heavy and had film scanning features. After a few years, HP stopped updating drivers. Scanners have come a long way. I am surprised that the Epson Perfection V19 II can be powered by USB. This scanner is nice and small, portable enough for travel. For what I scanned, it worked great. However, the build quality makes me believe that the Epson Perfection V19 II is meant for occasional household use. The scanner does feel flimsy but again for light use, maybe it will last.

I downloaded and installed the software on a Windows laptop. Getting the scanner up and running is a breeze. The software is the lite version, easy interface. I wish the scanner came with a USB-C cable for use with Macbooks.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dies After 10 Days; Randomly Crashes on Windows; Will Require Complete SYSTEM RESTART to Fix
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2020

 ***FIFTY-FOURTH DAY UPDATE***

Device completely bricked. A very flimsy, useless piece of paper, attached to the scanner head, came loose and now jams the scanner header every time it does a scan. Video attached.

So, for whatever you pay, you only get a scanner for two months. That's like a rental.

***EIGHTEEN DAY UPDATE***

The "scan" button is grayed out mysteriously, and I can't scan anymore. The "preview" button works perfectly, and utilizes the actual physical device, but "scan", absolutely does not work. Repeat fix procedure from Fifteen-Day-Update: Fixed.

***FIFTEEN DAY UPDATE***

Epson scanner software errors out on connection everytime. In order to fix: Remove epson driver from device manager, uninstall epson software, delete user/appdata folder and program files dirs, remove every entry containing the word "epson" from the registry editor (start->run->regedit).

Failure to do ANY of the above will mean that the Epson scanner is permanently broken for ~that~ particular computer. So, either fix that computer, or find another computer for some ~200 scans before breaking again.

***THIRTEEN DAY UPDATE***

After physically repairing the scanner, I now get this error: "epson scanner scan button grayed out". If you google it, you will find thousands of others with the same exact problem. THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS.

***TEN DAY UPDATE***

I have been using the Epson Scanner for only ten days. It is official BRICKED; its drivers are no longer working on the machine it is connected to. Other machines work, which means it's a driver issue -- but uninstalling the driver WILL NOT FIX IT. That means, YOU HAVE TEN DAYS BEFORE EPSON SCANNER BREAKS, per computer. Good luck.

All you get when you run Epson Scanner, after this period, is just a small, little box that says "Epson", and without any functionality whatsoever.

***INITIAL REVIEW***

Initially, I was impressed at this light-weight, sleek solution. But then I started to actually use it. After only a few days of a use, the biggest complaint is this: it crashes, randomly, nothing can connect to it (epson software or windows fax&scan), the lights won't turn on, etc.., and the only way to return it to normal is to completely close all applications and restart your system.

Uh, yeah, since I'm just scanning as a background activity to other primary activities (since it takes 7 minutes to do as can), this is incredibly annoying. Can I give a negative star rating?

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked Really Well
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024
I gave it 5 stars not because it was an excellent scanner, but because it was an excellent value compared to the cost of sending photos out to be scanned.

It was easy to use, the software was pretty simple, and the output was decent.

Once you get the hang of it, you scan a 4x6 photo every 5 seconds.

Glad I went in this direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Minor Complaint but a Great Scanner
Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2024
I bought this scanner for two main purposes: scanning old family photos to convert them to a digital format and scanning Boy Scout patches to add to an online catalog. Though I've only had the scanner for a day and am still learning all the ins and outs of the Epson software, I have been impressed with the quality of scans. As shown in the two images, the left side was scanned at 600 DPI on a printer's flatbed scanner while the right side was scanned on this scanner at 600 DPI. You can clearly see the difference in color/tone as well as the detail captured. This scanner will go higher than 600 DPI, but the higher you go the longer it takes to scan (as expected), though for most of my purposes the max DPI is not needed.

My only complaint is the weight of the lid. The lid is very light so when scanning things that are not 100% flat, the scanned object can cause the lid to stick up and the scanned object to not scan flat and in turn develop blurs or creases. I semi-expected this is embroidered patches that are a couple of mm thick, but would have thought the lid would have been heavy enough to flatten a folded piece of paper.
