Just fine, but 2 stars for incorrect description

I don't know why companies think they can get away with this, but the description says "This Canon CanoScan LiDE220 9623B002 flatbed scanner allows you to scan a page in about 10 seconds in up to 4800 x 4800 dpi optical resolution, so you can faithfully reproduce images. Send to Cloud enables you to upload images to select Cloud services."
In fact, a 300 dpi scan (any bit depth) takes about 17 seconds, and a 600 dpi scan takes about 35 seconds. I didn't test 150 dpi, but that is pretty low if you want to OCR the document after scanning.
If there was a better product on the market, I would jump at it. But this just seems par for the course -- cheap, reliable, and annoyingly slow. The scans appear to be spot-on, as I have found all Canon LiDE scanners for the last 5 years or more. But if they would make one that would save me time, I would shell out money for it.
It is a great scanner for the money. It just doesn't meet the description by Best Buy (presumably written by Canon).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Scan all your prints, negatives and slides quickly and efficiently. Complete with film holdersit handles just about any size and format, including 35 mm filmstrips, mounted slides and full panoramic medium format film.
I have a lot of old negatives that are much larger in size. Can this scanner be used with the larger older negatives? Thank you.
I used an older Epson scanner with a transmissive cover to scan 4x5 transparencies. The resolution was fine for creating an index, or perhaps printing as large as 8x10. If you care about your images, and want to extract every detail that is in the negative, use a medium or large format scanner (Nikon 9000, Imacon). But expect to shell out many thousands for these, and you often have to deal with connectivity and driver issues.
