piece of junk!!!.......2005-03-04

This does not even deserve one star.We got this scanner as a gift and what a piece of junk. We have tried on 4 different computers including windows 98, NT,and XP. After the first 2 scans, it says it is locked even after installing the newest drivers. Visioneer sent new software. That did not help. The offered me a new one, but only if I paid to ship the old one to them. I couldn't return it to the store because I had it past the return date. It is now going in the trash because it would not be worth the money to send them the scanner just to get another piece of crap back in the mail. Do not buy this scanner. You will just muck up your computer with software and have to return it. Worst scanner ever!!!

Worst Item Ever Purchased.......2004-10-15

I owned a 5820 it did not work out of the box. The "support" at website consists of several broken links. Their "SARA" system points you to more broken links, then asks "was this helpful?" I tried "fixes" on the web including uninstalling completely, then replacing 5820 drivers with 5800 drivers, and opening the scanner and manually moving the drive belt(!). Some people claim these work but nothing worked for me. The scanner says it's "locked" but it HAS NO LOCK - it simply does not work no matter what you do with it. Stay away from this scanner, don't even accept one as a gift, it's not worth the aggravation.

Stay Away!!!.......2003-12-25

Visioneer's 5820USB is an absolute piece of junk!...or any other 4-letter word you might insert. From day 1 it asked you to "unlock" the scanner. Even after Visioneer sent a new CD, with supposedly different drivers on it, it said the same thing. Visioneer either can't or won't resolve the problem. $10 would be way too much to spend on this item!! Read reviews on other websites. They will confirm this review. Amazon should avoid this scanner for their own reputation's sake.
