Epson Perfection 3490 Photo Review

- The Epson Perfection 3490 Photo is the best bargain among value scanners we've reviewed lately. With its winning combination of great image quality, reasonable performance, versatile features, and a very affordable $99 cost, the 3490 is an excellent choice for the average user who wants a scanner that provides the most value for the best price.

User Reviews for Epson Perfection 3490 Photo

  • Reviewed by: JasioB

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: good scan quality

    Weaknesses: dust on the glass inside the scanner after two years

    Overall Evaluation: For me not acceptable is that after two years i have to clean the glass inside the scanner. This "dust" inside get from the electronic inside!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Good quality color slide scans

    Weaknesses: A little noisy

    Overall Evaluation: The scanner works great. It is a little slow and somewhat noisy, but it does a fine job of scanning documents and is head and shoulders above my old scanner for ease of use and color slide scan quality. The "quick scan" buttons for PDF and email are very convenient.
