TEEMI Wireless Barcode Scanner Handheld Automatic 1D Laser Rechargeable Bar Code Reader USB Plug and Play with 2.4G Receiver for Windows PC Mac OS Linux (No Stand)

This scanner works quite well, although there is sometimes a multi-second lag between the time something is scanned and the time it gets received by the computer (at least when used wirelessly). This is nothing that isn't manageable for light-duty use, especially given the very competitive pricing.The biggest concern I have with this is scanner is that it seems to draw excessive power over USB. When plugged into my MacBook Pro for just a few seconds the cable got very hot where it connects to the scanner and the unit started to smell like it's burning. (I only did this once, and the unit seems to still work fine, but I only use the provided power adapter to charge this now, and always scan wirelessly.) My Mac also warned me that the device was drawing too much power, so it might have shut off power and that's what saved it from being fried, but I don't trust it connected via USB to a modern computer with high-current USB ports.UPDATE:Shortly after writing this review, I was contacted by TEEMI who very kindly offered to send me a new scanner to address the issue with my old one. Top rating for customer service! The new unit does not have the same issue with USB, so 5 full stars now!Thanks, TEEMI!

I didn't expect much for the price, under $50.I am impressed.We just needed some basic wireless barcode readers, so I read the reviews and took a chance on this one.It came complete with charger, USB Cable, and wireless dongle.The windows software immediately loaded the appropriate driver when the dongle was plugged in.The instruction sheet includes directions on enabling various barcode types. It also contains barcodes that allow it to be programmed to add a newline or tab after the scan. We needed the tab, so set that up. It then was immediately put to use and works perfectly.Once triggered, it will scan until it finds the code or times out.This fits the need perfectly and we will order more.

It works out of the box, at least for me. Easy set up too. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Scan a few bar codes in the setup manual and it should work no problem. Otherwise it's a pain to figure out. It's basically the manual that can be complicated.TIPS: Open notepad in Microsoft Windows and scan a bar code,the numbers should show up. If not, got back to the paper manual and scan the necessary 2-3 barcodes in the quick setup manual and that should do the trick.SCAN 1: Enter setup (barcode under Common Functions barcodes)SCAN 2: Enable Code Bar (function setup barcodes area)SCAN 3: Exit with Save (barcode under Common Functions barcodes)DONE!This is definitely an easier setup than the other scanners out there, like on Ebay.

Initially I gave this a lower rating now I am raising it to a three and if I could I'd give it 3.5. I received a new product after about a week and it works just fine. (See below) I am hesitant to say that it is great for fear of jinxing my luck with it.I do believe that the first one I received was just that one of those...The product that I now have works wonderfully and I have NO complaints with it. It holds a charge, works from a distance and does what it promised to do, If it continues to work as it does currently there is or would be absolutely no reason I wouldn't give it 4.5 stars. (It's hard for me to give five stars)Thank you for making this a reasonablly priced scanner for this small business owner! It truly makes my job so much easier!So far I have to give this only a one star... I received it on a Tuesday and started using on Wednesday and by Friday it was dead. No not the battery but all of it. I do have hope though because after contacting TEEMI, via email they said they would send me another one. If I receive it I may bump up to two stars and then if it continues to work over the next few months I would raise again.DS Touright

***Jan 2016: Replacement scanner has stopped working. We are looking for a replacement unit, but do not plan to purchase another from this company at this time.***10-31-15 update: FREE replacement scanner received. It has worked for several weeks after I initially set it up. I raised the stars to reflect the good customer service. However, I agree with others that it has a poor manual. It's not clear what you need to do to set up your scanner. It is not written in a task orientation, with step-by-step instructions. It's more a reference sheet.***10-06-2015 Update: Emailed company last week and they responded with several questions. They are mailing a replacement scanner as of today. I upgraded the stars with the hope that all will work out well. If the new scanner arrives and works. I will upgrade the product again. Thank you Teemi Customer Support for your follow through. ***Sept 2015: Purchased this scanner in March 2015 and it stopped working in September, 6 months later. Currently trying to connect with Teemi to get up with fixing or replacing the scanner. For $49.99, I would expect the barcode scanner to last longer.

We have several of these scanners in two different retail locations. Our employees love them. Not having a cord has been amazing when needing to scan large items on the other side of the counter. We also have used it in inventory mode where we scan many items and then have the numbers dump into our POS system in one batch. Very convenient for bulk shipments and tracking inventory. We did have an issue with one unit but their customer service was amazing and took care of the problem ASAP. In fact we had a new scanner in hand in only 2 days! Great service for sure. Will be buying more for sure as we convert from older corded models. Would recommend to anyone.
