ScanAvenger Portable Mini Wireless Bluetooth Barcode Reader

Tsaukpaetra: Range is decent, scanning is pretty accurate, it works well overall. Just be careful with the dongle especially if you leave it in a laptop or other environment where any kind of impact may occur as it is quite easy to damage the internal antenna from board stress.

Something to note is that it will not charge if the power switch (more accurately the "battery connect" switch) is in the Off position, so if you plug it in and you find it seems to not be charging check that switch first.

MTK: I recently bought this scanner to add to our office's growing collection of Scan Avenger scanners. It is a great little unit that works perfectly. Period, end of story. However, if you've ever worked on developing custom documents and forms with barcodes for data entry, etc. you probably know that it can be a little fidgety: which codes to use, and how to program the scanner to read them correctly. This is where Scan Avenger's customer service comes into play for me. THEY ARE AMAZING! They are super prompt and very helpful. Just send them an email and you will receive a helpful response in short order, like within an hour or two. Also, as a developer I appreciate that they offer an "advanced user manual" for download with complete programming instructions, etc. If you are only a basic user, the quick start materials in the box will do. But advanced users will find the expanded manual very useful. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!

Paul D.: This works great and saved me hours when doing my inventory at work. If the barcode is on a faded surface or behind something shiny like tape, it can have some difficulty reading the code. But with some but if your try different angles it will read it. And it can be useful to see what a QR code says. (which helped me get on the WiFi at a few places.) And i can use it to quickly look up or find a book i would like to read as well. Overall i like to keep this is my pocket more than i admit.
Dialing in the exact settings you want may take a bit of research, but I'm a techie so this was easy for me.

Christian: I've been using this to scan IMEI and sim numbers of of cellphones and tablets. I mostly use it with the dongle but have used the Bluetooth option and have not had an issues. The one problem I did have was when there were multiple barcodes close together. You have to aim it but it doesn't put out a laser line when you push the button it lights up with an LED and then there's a red light in the middle you have to line up. Overall works perfect for me

Gustavo: En general funciona bien,, lee muchos código y lo hace rápido, el único problema es cuando se paga y al volver a prenderlo luego tarda en reaccionar y se pierde un tanto de tiempo, no es algo que afecte mucho, solo no desesperar.

Lewis: This device is great. It works exactly as intended, has a useful white light, a beeper and vibration that can be turned off independently, and can read fine off screens. And of course, the big one for me, is that it recharges via USB-C, not some ethernet style port like my old scanner, or even worse, Micro USB.

Sadly, it's let down by the documentation. The online copy of the manual is very extensive at 123 pages, but it is laid out poorly, some things are explained badly, and there's a lot of white space. The manual could probably be 50 pages or less. However more annoying, is that they include two plastic cards, like a credit card, one of which has quick codes on it. There's a code to change to storage mode (and back), a code to upload the data, but they've missed the code to clear the data, which I must refer to the smaller included paper manual or the online manual for. The strap is also too small to fit over my hand and cannot be adjusted, but it can be removed and swapped out.

The device also takes too long to start and doesn't make it obvious when it's ready. You flick the switch, it beeps, and the three blue lights come on, but if you try scanning...

Cam Day: Super quick delivery. Had a small technical question with the product and emailed support. Got a detailed, personalised reply in a few minutes. WOW.

sroadcap: The only thing it seems to scan reliably are the various codes on the cards that come with the device. It had problems scanning UPS bar codes and barcodes of computer serial numbers and this is what I need the thing to do...

It doesn't cost much so that's a plus, but it doesn't perform all that well for me.
