Pros: Low Price, Excellent bundled software, Nice warranty
Cons: Low Output Quality, Unable to work properly with negatives

Last week my neighbor and longtime friend came running hysterically one afternoon to my house excited about his new toy: the OneTouch 8920 by Visioneer. As soon as I saw the box and manufacturer’s name I thought: “Oh my, what have you done!”.
...

Pros: Simple to set up, highly configurable, side opening.
Cons: Short cords

I've dreaded this for along time. My scanner has died. I loved my scanner and now, I had to go out into the wide world and find a new one.

Technology has changed so very much in the 3+ years I've had my dearly departed scanner and I didn't...

Pros: Price, speed, quality, 1-touch buttons, OCR, photo negative/slides, fast preview
Cons: short cords, slow scanning of negatives/slides, some trouble with OCR

I made money in college doing a mix of photography and web design. While working for the newspaper as photography editor I used to use top-of-the-line negative and slide scanners. The Visioneer 8920 is by far the best flatbed scanner that I've found that...

Pros: scans, semi-good quality
Cons: durability, lack of good software packaged with it

I got this scanner a long while ago and never used it too much. When I did use it though it worked fine and everything. Then after a long period of not being used, I got a new computer and decided to move it to that one. And now the lamp takes at the...

Pros: allot of features, speed
Cons: scan quality is poor

My friend really needed to purchase a scanner. I went shopping with her and we found the 8920 was within her budget. We liked this scanner because we thought it would be easy to use, cheap and versatile. However, we were disappointed with the quality...

Pros: Great picture quality, easy to use, works with XP without any drivers
Cons: If you install the drivers Visioneer supplies, you may see your system get unstable.

I needed a new scanner since my parallel port one was no longer supported and had run out of steam. All I really wanted was a USB scanner that had good resolution and could capture an 8x10 in under 5 minutes (I'm not picky). When I did a survey, it...

Pros: fast preview scan, configureable buttons
Cons: None so far

I will keep it simple:
We bought two of them because of the side opening feature.
No problems installing on two machines.

The buttons on the scanner are really useful because you can change their settings. I have one set to...

Pros: Easy to use, easy to set up, good software
Cons: A little large and bulky

The Visioneer Scanner 8920 is a terrific scanner. I actually just hooked it up in less than 10 minutes, and scanned a photo in less than 30 seconds. The instructions are simple and accurate, the machine is one of the newest, so it is compatible with...

Pros: Comes with Paperport, scans quickly, shelf design
Cons: Scan button stopped working after a while, bulky, ugly

I bought this scanner because I only had $100 to spend and I needed it rather quickly. If you're goi ...

Pros: When working properly, the 8920 seems to do an adequate job.
Cons: Lackluster software.

My computer is a brand new eMachines T2642 with a 2.6 ghz Intel Celeron processor and 256 mb of ddram. The operating system is Windows XP Home Edition. I am connecting the scanner through a USB port. Please note that I consider myself to be ...

Pros: Price, software, easy set-up.
Cons: Couldn't get it to work reliably for more than a few scans.

I purchased this scanner because it listed a good optical resolution and come with some good software. It is my first scanner so I was excited to get home and hook it up. Before I continue, let me assure you that I do know something about computers ...

Pros: None
Cons: Hard to install, horrible support, surly customer service, software difficult to install

I just got this scanner. When I had trouble installing the textbridge software that came with it, I ...

Pros: Side opening, fast, good looking scans
Cons: short cords, program that comes with it is not the best.

I bought the Visioneer OneTouch 8920 about a month ago. I brought it home and set it up with my computer and it worked fine till I tried to scan in a negative. My computer has a IBM Camera attached to it. So the scanSoft PaperPort program that came...

Pros: Very compatible
Cons: Expensive

The scanner looks very nice but looks are not everything. It is compatible with most software, but should be for the price. If you didn't know, compatible means that it can pretty much go with any kind of computer you have. The software that comes...

Pros: Easy customization of the software and hardware make scanning quick and easy.
Cons: This is not a high-end scanner but does an excellent job for the price.

Scanner and software have been working fine for me for a year now. Great for negatives and slides. Good for scanning lots of pictures fast - put picture in push button that’s it!
