Reliable and affordable.......2006-05-10

I got this scanner as a freebie when I bought a new desktop several years ago, and it continues to perform well for me. There are times when it doesn't seem to want to work, but that seems to due to XP updates - and is generally resolved after a reboot. I have found that every scan needs to be adjusted slighty for contrast balance afterwards, but that's par for the course.

It's not the top of the line, so I inclined to cut it some slack - but if you need an inexpensive workhorse, you could do worse.

Wonderful Scanner.......2005-02-06

I brought this scanner about a year ago and it has never let me down. It makes perfect copies, emails to Outlook, and the best feature is that it scans text directly into Microsoft Word easy with the touch of a botton.

Good scanner, a little slow........2004-01-26

The scanner is actaully good. It is very user friendly, at least what was my expereince. However, it is kind of slow with anything from pictures to files. However, for it's price it is a great scanner and you can do many cool tricks once you find out how to do them. Overall it is worth the money!

Microtek does not stand behind what they sell- buy beware.......2003-10-23

After reading so many reviews now I am disappointed I bought a Mircrotek scanner. The software has a simple mode then a mode with more controlable features. The scanner never responded properly with the more complex mode so I just used the basic. It worked ok until the short warranty ran out. One day I turned it on, scanned one page and poof smoke started pouring out. After inspecting the inside for the cause, I found a transistor had 2 bad solder joints made by the factory that finally oxidized to point of failure and burned out several components. Contacted Microtek by email for parts. They would not sell me any parts but wanted me to spend much money to send them the scanner for repair. They were even too cheap to furnish me with a schematic. A quality company supplies them with the literature when purchased new. Steer clear of a company who cannot stand behind what they peddle.

Didn't work.......2003-01-23

This gets 2 stars just because the software seemed OK. My scanner didn't work and I had to return it. The scanner bar jammed up about 2 inches into the scan. Microtek's "support" site is TERRIBLE, it looks like they threw it together in a day of odds and ends, with no real thought to what people would need to know. Surely with as many bad reviews as this for all of their products, they'd have amassed quite a lot of FAQ's/troubleshooting tips, but if they have, they are keeping them to themselves. I had to return this on the same day I had to return a VCR that didn't work. Don't things work anymore? With this many products going wrong (if my experiences and all the dismal reviews of these products are any indication), wouldn't it make sense just to make a little effort to get it right before they sell these things?

Customer Reviews:

Good for people on the go.......2002-07-25

This AIWA Cross Trainer works fairly well - it doesn't skip if you run with the CD Player in your hand. However, I've found that even walking with the CD Player in a cargo pocket of my pants will cause skipping. Unlike the Sony Discman player, there is no hand strap on this AIWA model. So if you don't mind holding on to the CD Player while you walk or run, it's a fairly good buy.

The headphones, however, tend to be a bit uncomfortable after a period of time. The little curly things that hook onto your ears put a little pressure on your ears, causing some discomfort. I often use the CD Player but use the more comfortable headphones from a different model.

Great Player.......2002-05-27

I ordered mine back in August. I have used the player alot, and I feel that it is a great little player. It's antiskip is great, it's water resistant, so I don't ruin it if it start to rain while I'm outside with it, and it looks great. The performance of the unit overall is great.

A company that doesn't care........2002-04-22

We bought the player at the end of November and gave it as a Christmas gift. It began malfunctioning by mid March. The stereo only works when you pull the plug partway out and the unit also stops playing on a random basis...just turns off for no apparent reason. When contacted, AIWA customer service said 'tough luck... you bought it more than 90 days ago so you pay for service'. These are obvious manufacturing defects and occurred within 90 days of use although the actual purchase occurred a month before it was used. I would have though that AIWA would have wanted to stand behind the quality of their product. It will be the last AIWA product I will buy

Great player.......2002-03-06

I first purchased a cheap CD player for my daughter and found that the batteries had to be replaced just about every other day. I purchased this CD player on it battery usage alone. I had no idea how great this cd player really was. My daughter is 5 and uses this in the car during travel. Never a single problem and is easy enough for her to use.

Aiwa produces good quality CD player.......2001-09-18

I run 3 to 5 times a week. I recently purchased a Panasonic jogger CD player and returned it because it skipped so much. Then I purchased the Aiwa XP-SP920. I like the quality of this product however, there is two features that need improving. The first feature is the skip button, it is in an inconvenient place on the CD player. My other complaint is at times the random feature has a mind of its own. I like the 48 second anti-skip, it works very well. I also am very happy with all of the other features on this product.

Get something else.......2006-09-29

The wireless connection drops frequently, and there is need to reconnect using my wireless card to restore the connection. This is especially frustrating when I am working from home and have to log on again to the office network. VOIP setup needs extra work. However, wired connection is quite good and the router goes on indefinitely without requiring reboot.

Not worth the money.......2006-09-26

I bought this router to use it as a backup when my Linksys router breaks down. Now that I had to use the 3Com OfficeConnect, I feel really frustrated. The connection is dropped (disconnected) every 2-3 minutes. So I reconnect. [BTW with the Linksys router I only connected once some very long time ago]. The only solution available was to keep Skype online. This is the only way it made it work. I upgraded using the new Software but it was to naught despite the fact that the knowledgebase of 3Com claims that this problem has been solved with the new upgrade. Not the case with my router. Unless you really like wasting your time trying to fix a non-fixable problem, I advise you to buy another type of routers.

Junk.......2006-07-19

It worked for a while. HOWEVER, it keeps disconnecting and reconnects itself with my cable modem! so I retunred it and got a new one, and it does the same thing now. I tested with my good ol' Netgear, D-link and linksys and it works perfectly. what a piece of junk. im going to smash it with a hammer this time instead of returning it.

Good Stable commercial grade Router.......2006-02-17

The router provides very good/stable connections and is very easy to setup.
3Com has a mfg rebate of $60 till march 31 2006, making it very affordable.
I have also played online video games (CoD) on this router with excellent results.
Prior to this I had netgear, but i used to lose connections often making it difficult to work wirelessly. With this router no problem so far.
The only con is that there is a newer technology on the horizon and hence the mfg rebates. But even so this routers performace is good enough to satisfy all your wireless needs, including online gaming. I would recommend it.

An okay router, but not worth it if you pay full price.......2005-11-28

I paid about $20 for this router after rebate, and for that price, it's not a bad deal. I haven't had any stability issues with it, even when transferring very large amounts of data. I think the longest it's gone so far is 2.5 months (before a power outage reset it). I was concerned that the wireless signal might not make it all the way across my house (2 stories, about 3600 sq. ft.), especially since the router is located at one far end. On the other end of the house, the signal is weak, but it works fine for basic web browsing and whatnot, so it's not a problem for me. The SPI firewall has some issues, e.g. it likes to kill my long-running connections (like IM, or remote shells), even when I use keepalive packets. So I just turn SPI off. The wireless security/access control options are pretty good; it supports WPA, and also access control based on MAC addresses, if you only want enough barrier to entry to keep clueless neighbors or passersby off. Works fine with P2P stuff if you require that. One nice thing about the admin control system is you can change most settings without having to reset the router or kill current connections, or whatever. On the other hand, it's a bit slow and not very intuitively designed. The 3 year warranty is also nice. Overall, this router has everything I need as a home/home office user, but has a few problems (nothing showstopping, though). Given that, it's not a good deal at full price (~$80) when there are lots of other passable routers for less, but if there's a sizeable discount involved, you may definitely want to consider it.
