Personal experience with this scanner - Review

I have been using the same Wasp WWS100i pocket barcode scanner for 4 years now.    Wasps feature list and specifications have proven spot on.  

 

 

• Platforms I use the scanner with - iMac, iPhone, & iPad.

• Rugged -  I am not nice to my equipment, and this little scanner has survived everything I have thrown at it.  From years of abuse to include traveling around in my pocket with my car keys, dropping the scanner on the cement more times that I can admit, to traveling all the way through the wash cycle only to come out of the other side, dry and 100% fully functional.  

• Battery life - I am completely amazed at how good the battery is on this scanner.  I feel like I have not charged it in years, but that can't be the case.  I will say that this scanner keeps a charge for a very long time which was one of my major concerns.

• Customer support -  I have had very little need to contact customer support, but the one time I did, they were awesome, and I am pretty sure they helped me with something that related to the media scouting program I was using at the time, and not even directly related to the scanner itself.

• Pricing -  I purchased my WWS100i on eBay for around $150.00, and it paid for itself within a few weeks.    I just checked the MFG website, and they are being sold around $190.00 so you can get a discount on eBay, and you may be able to find it even cheaper used. 

 

Issues with this scanner - Review

In terms of the funcationality of this device, it has performed amazingly in all areas I need it to.  The only problem I have with the pocket scanners size.   I have almost lost it so many times that I am amazed that I still have it.   If you are good at keeping track of items, this is a a great scanner that you will have to regrets purchasing.
