Long term review - Perfect document scanner
on January 24, 2015
Posted by: Panos7
from Berkeley, CA
I've had 2 of these installed at the office for over a year now, for our higher-scan-volume staff (30-200 pages daily, we have big scanners for higher volumes#.
The scanners are a breeze to set up, quick to scan, take little space, and are the envy of everyone at the office that doesn't have one. These Fujitsu scanners routinely rank excellent in reviews, and the praises are well deserved. We've had no problems scanning documents ranging from store receipts to full page documents, and the software is easy to use - I haven't had any complaints or questions even from our 65 yr old finance person! The automatic document feeder #ADF# works well #for stacking multiple pages and have the scanner pick them up individually), as does dual-sided scanning. Both the ADF and dual-sided scanning are huge time savers!
Overall, these little scanners are excellent for the price. I have looked no further since getting the first one.
[Comparatively speaking, we use Epson DS-30s for staff that scan lower volumes. Also had Neat scanners, but the Fujitsus are cheaper, much better software that doesn't try to upsell, and much, much faster to scan]

Reliable UPS, good UI and features
on December 3, 2013

I bought this UPS proactively as a replacement to my 11 year old APC UPS (which served me well). Its older brother has been reliable (even though our power company isn't) and I have no reason to doubt the reliability of this one. Before purchasing I received great support from APC and was able to find up-to-date software, even for Server 2012 and Windows 8.
The unit is a breeze to set up and its user interface is visually appealing and provides a lot of features, for example, power usage monitoring (KWh and VA), voltage, load, and outage history (in graph or table form). I really like how the banks of outlets can be assigned different priorities, i.e., some can shut down right away while others can be directed to stay on as long as possible in case of an outage. The front-panel LCD is useful if you dont want to log on to access the UI (and can be used to configure UPS settings without logging on). Also, the UPS can also be accessed through/as a web page - for example, if you want to VPN remotely without doing a remote session.
Overall I have been extremely happy with APC, the reliability of their products, and their customer support. (FYI: connected to this unit are a Dell T620, Poweredge 2900, a couple of routers, switches, VoIP and WAN equipment, running at about 40% of the UPS' capacity).

Just OK for casual use at best
on December 3, 2013

I picked up this phone because of the price, but quickly returned it to the store for refund (after making a few test calls and comparing to my (older) Panasonic). The primary reason for the return was that the speakerphone mic is terrible: unless I was a foot or less away from it, the base wouldn't pick-up my voice (I literally had to face the base unit and lower my head towards it to pick up voice - completely useless if you intend to use it as a speakerphone while doing anything else). I tested my old phone from the same distance, same location, and callers reported hearing me just fine.
As far as the headset, though the sound was clear, callers sounded distant and a bit muffled. Overall, my older cordless sounded far better and picked up voice a lot better.
As far as battery life, I was surprised how quickly the headsets died without any use. A couple to a few days standby time at best.
Also, I found the packaging/picture and store display misleading. The pictures let you believe the phone has a vivid blue LCD - it doesn't. It's a mostly gray display that's at times hard to read. If you like the blue hue you see on the box/display, don't expect it in real life.

What's great about it: Price
What's not so great: Terrible speakerphone, short battery life, pictures misleading
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
