Pros: Good Quality, fairly good scan speed.
Cons: Included Software
After retiring my old Mustek 600 SCSI scanner, I went on a search to purchase yet another item at the end of it’s retail life, so I picked up this Visioneer 8100 scanner for under $30 based on the mostly favorable reviews here on Epinions. ...

Visioneer? OneTouch is Too Much!

by pogomom Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jul 02 '00
Pros: Simple Set-up; Good Copy Utility
Cons: Flimsy; Muddy Scans; Slow
Bye-Bye Visioneer Guy!

Visioneer’s OneTouch™ 8100 Scanner is a “must avoid” purchase. My intentions are not to mince words. In every field, avenue and sector there are heavyweights and lightweights. The 8100 Scanner is a...

Cons: NONE
When my husband bought me my baby, the HP PhotoSmart P1100, I realized that our scanner was not really top notch when it came to scanning photographs. Sure it was great for scanning and sending faxes or making photocopies, but that was it....

Versatile scanner, but software below-par

by towwang , Nov 05 '02
Pros: Supported under many OS's, has USB and parallel connectors.
Cons: Few image export formats, cannot abort operations under NT 4.0.
Why I bought it:
I was searching for a long time for a scanner that had both a parallel port connector, which I needed for support under Windows NT 4.0, and a USB connector for faster throughput once I upgraded to a more bloated OS. The box came...

One Touch Says it All

by oakraider1 , Mar 10 '01
Pros: Great quality, speed, and software
Cons: Nothing here
When my family first purchased the Visioneer 8100 One Touch Scanner, I was skeptical on how often I would use it, and how hard it would be to use. However, after owning it for several months, I have no complaints and find it quite easy to use.

I had decided to get a scanner because I walked by this one and saw:

by esunetdude , Aug 06 '00
Pros: small, quiet, fast, software easy to use

I purchased the Visioneer OneTouch 8100 after my existing scanner went on the fritz. I'm a photography buff and a scanner is necessary tool to be able to manipulate pictures - even for the simple process of sending copies to friends. My primary use...

Visioneer OneTouch 8100 Scanner: Set Up and Forget! =)

by neomartin , Aug 09 '01
Pros: Simple setup; parallel port interface; landscape oriented cover (which is removable)
Cons: Scanning software works best only after the computer is started;
My first flatbed scanner has a new life as a door stop at my last apartment since the scanning mechanism refused to travel the length of the flatbed-- it was cheaper for me to get a new scanner than to try to get it fixed. My second flatbed scanner sits...

Too expensive at any price

by lewenbh , Apr 24 '02
Pros: Price; ease of set up
Cons: Design; lack of technical support
Our Umax 1200S, which has provided creditable service these past six years, was beginning to produce less than creditable color scans. Our main use for a scanner, other than as a fax and copy machine, is as a tool that allows my wife to produce some...

Mid Priced/Nice Scans

by france_a , Sep 25 '02
Pros: Creates very fast and accurate scans.
Cons: Too large if you have very little space.
I have to say if I had not gotten a deal I would never have considered a $99 scanner. I was able to receive free shipping and a rebate, because of good timing.

Well, after my good fortune I wasn't expecting much in the product, but I have...

USB Setup a Breeze

by Boscorocks , Oct 27 '00
Pros: Easy Setup with USB
Cons: Will start scanning if you hit buttons on accident
I was leery about buying a Visioneer after reading about problems with incompatibility and terrible customer service. However, the 8100 had all the features that I wanted for a decent price ($169 but the price has gone down recently). I needed something...

I just wish I'd waited a little longer

by LavaLamp , Mar 21 '02
Pros: Wide design allows for easy placement on the desk.
Cons: They lowered the price a lot after I bought it.
We got the OneTouch 8100 a few months ago, because we were tired of typing in all the stuff we have laying around on paper, and because we wanted to have the ability to make copies at home, and keep backups of certain paperwork on CDR. The sideways...

As a professional in the field of web design, I must scan aprox.25-30 images every day. I have used every brand of scanner available including HP, Canon, Umax...etc. My scanner(HP) took a dump on me a few months ago and I badly needed to get some work...
