Visioneer OneTouch 9000 USB Review

- WHAT'S HOT: When it comes to scanning performance, the Visioneer OneTouch 9000 USB is a scorcher. As a high-speed USB 2.0 model (also backward compatible with USB 1.1), it not only left other USB 2.0 and 1.1 models in the dust, but even gave FireWire (IEEE 1394) scanners a run for the money. For example, while other USB models took an average of 81 seconds for our 2-by-2-inch color photo at 1200 dots per inch, the OneTouch 9000 took only 36.42 seconds. That ranks close behind Microtek's two FireWire-based models, the ScanMaker 6700 and ScanMaker 8700, which took 36.06 and 31.05 seconds respectively to complete the same test. The 9000's design is noticeably sleeker than its predecessors': It's almost 2 pounds lighter and 2 inches slimmer than the previous generation of OneTouch models. But the leaner 9000 still has room for five quick-start buttons. Although four of the buttons are preconfigured for scanning, copying or printing, e-mail, and OCR, you can easily customize the settings for any of them.

User Reviews for Visioneer OneTouch 9000 USB

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Ease of use, one touch keys - Tech Support!

    Weaknesses: Have had several mechanical problems with a few of my units after 7 or 8 months.

    Overall Evaluation: I own 8 Visioneer scanners and love them all. Had two with mechanical problems, both out of warranty -- so I replaced them with identical units. Tech support has been fantastic - quick and thorough - helping me work through some driver issues.

    Weaknesses:

    Overall Evaluation: Don't EVER purchase a Visioneer product. They don't support their products after the sale. I have a perfectly wonderful scanner that is now obsolete because Visioneer refuses to publish a driver for Windows 2000. They'll give me a 25% discount if I trade it in on a new Visioneer scanner. OH - - whoopee!!! I don't consider that product support.
