Pros: You're kidding, right?
Cons: Jams frequently, software incredibly buggy, difficult to install, works only intermittently.
The Bottom Line: Laughably bad if HP weren't making so much money suckering people into buying. It should have a ranking lower than one star. DON'T BUY THIS SCANNER!

Pros: Lightweight so you can heave it quite far when it fails.
Cons: How about this: it doesn't do ANYTHING dependably.
The Bottom Line: Spend your money on something that will scan better - like a shredder.
