Extremely noisy. 1/2 way through the scan the scanner hangs up at times and makes a loud sqeeking noise. This is anoying when working in a quiet enviormant such as a library or reseach room
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Small, efficient, great photo reproduction

I purchased the Perfection V39 just a few weeks ago, but I've had sufficient time to put it to the test. I'd been temporarily entrusted with 270+ family photos and needed to scan them quickly. The reviews on the V39 were quite good, and Best Buy had one in stock.
Installation & setup were fairly straightforward; within ten minutes, I was scanning the first set of photos. With a dpi range of 50 to 4800, you can go from thumbnail to ridiculous in short order (600 dpi proved sufficient for the kind of work I was doing).
The scanner's abilities were limited only by the quality of the photos being scanned. On some of the photos, I did notice that the colors were a bit too in-your-face when compared with the originals. However, you can easily switch to 'Professional Mode' and adjust accordingly.
All in all, a great little flatbed scanner which surpassed my expectations. If you're in the market for a compact flatbed scanner which will create faithful reproductions of old family photos, I think you'll be very pleased with the Epson Perfection V39.

This Scanner Can
on January 23, 2020
Posted by: Alia
I needed a portable scanner that I could use for my documents, artwork and notebooks. I have had this scanner for well over a year now and I use it often. It works great and the software is easy to use with different settings like full-auto and a customizable home feature. I love the PDF feature, it's as simple as pressing the button on the scanner and it starts making a PDF - I can add as many pages as I need to. My only issue with this scanner is that the full-auto feature doesn't always pick up red and pink so it might scan my red or pink document as black and white by default - but easily I can switch to home setting and get a beautiful colored scan.

Lightweight, versatile, and won't damage old photos
on February 6, 2020
Posted by: Karen in NY

So far I’ve been very satisfied with this scanner. I wanted something to scan old family photos before they deteriorate. These being fragile, I wanted a scanner where you manually place the original on a plate, rather than the kind where the original rolls through. I wanted something lightweight, and not too expensive. I wanted it big enough to scan an 8.5 x 11 in. doc, but in a minimum of space. I also wanted to scan in JPEG format so I could edit and e-mail then easily. This fits my all my needs. So far I have only tried the “professional” scan setting that allows you to chose resolution, type of original (color, grayscale, B+W, etc.) and I used settings recommended by a relative. They came out pretty good. I also like that it is powered by its USB connection to my laptop, so I do not have to hunt for yet another open electric socket. Unplugging the USB turns it off. The software loaded fine and it is fairly intuitive to use. I haven’t yet tried the included Scan n Stitch software for scanning projects larger than 8.5 x 11.

Poor setup for MacBook Pro laptop
on February 6, 2022
Posted by: CH2022
This product is not user friendly with MacBook Pro.!
I have tried too many times to set up the download with repeated setbacks. I am thinking of returning this scanner to the store. It shouldn't be this difficult.

Difficult Install
on January 31, 2016

I have two laptops at home with no optical DVD drive - it is impossible to download the software online. U can get the drivers, but not the software. So I can scan a photo, but not pdf files. I bought it to create pdf files.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
