Inateck Wireless Barcode Scanner: Fast, Accurate, and Easy to Use

skylarkinh775: Been using it for almost a month. Seems to be a very solid product. Good at scanning even when the bar code is faded out, torn or dirty and most other scanners would have problems picking up. Has a nice loud beep. Very easy to use straight out of the box and already charged. Didn't need to do anything other than plug in the USB receiver and turn it on. Used it 15 to 20 times a day average for almost a month and still didn't need to recharge it yet. Only downside is doesn't scan the 2d codes some newer vehicles are starting to use. Will update my review six months from now to see how well it holds up.

Update: been using for almost a year and a half now with no problems, still going strong.

Suzanne M Tucker: Love the product. Scans most barcodes except lightly printed ones. Weight is good and fits in my hand. Will purchase again and have recommended to others.

Amazon Customer: I got one about 2 weeks ago for our back office, and I purchased a 2nd one to use at our front register today. Our current scanners can't read super small and thin barcodes, and it drives me nuts. With this Inateck one, it reads the difficult barcodes and it wasn't frustrating getting it setup. This was the first wireless version i've used, where it worked right away when I plugged everything in. All the others, I've gotten fairly mad at with having to scan in multiple codes before I could get the wireless part connected - We have had about 3 other wireless ones. As far as dropping, I've tested it from 2.5' (by accident), and it's still functioning well. The hand grip is fairly comfortable, and the mustard yellow color helps me locate it when I lose it in the store - Which can happen often. Overall, this device is great for the price!

Jude L.: Scanner worked well right out of the box. Connected easily with my Win10 laptop using the included WiFi dongle. A handy "cheat card" with scannable barcodes to switch back and forth in inventory modes is also included. Unit is light and ergonomic with TPU construction- doesn't feel "cheap" but also doesn't feel rugged; however, manufacturer claims it withstands repeated 6ft. (1.8m) drops to concrete floor. I have yet to test that claim. LOL!

Had an issue when uploading a batch scan ("Inventory Mode") via my laptop to our Cloud-based inventory program where the data transmission speed was too fast and caused an import error. Sent an email to their customer support department at 2:04 pm on Wednesday; received a response at 4:04 pm with detailed, thorough instructions on how to resolve it, complete with the latest firmware files, their bootloader and updated user manual as attachments. After following her step-by-step instructions, I was able to adjust the data transmission speed to 64ms and voila! Batch scan import worked perfectly!! Apparently the firmware update added the ability to adjust the data transmission speed from 0ms (default) to 128ms. Needless...

DaleCDaleC: This is a very well made and robust device. It came shipped and packaged in a sturdy box and the instructions are written in grammatically correct English so right off the bat I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product, packaging and instructions. Seriously, I can't stress how common it is to receive instructions that are barely comprehensible from out of the country manufacturers so getting something for a technical device that had instructions that I could actually understand was a huge plus especially when you may need to change settings. The device can be changed from its default settings by using bar codes that are in the instruction manual... just point and click. Pretty ingenious really. The USB transmitter works great in a plug-and-play capability into my Windows 10 computer and then immediately communicating to the handheld bar code reader. The wireless capability is nice although it also came with a USB cable for charging the reader's internal batteries or connecting in a wired fashion back to the PC USB port. I was able to read all my bar codes from frequent shopping cards, loyalty cards, etc and it would input it directly into the PC...
