Digital camera reviews of Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL Scanner
Digital camera Review: Microtek is going out of business
Summary: 1 Stars
I cannot tell you how crumby Microtek is. You must avoid Microtek products like the plague.
I bought this scanner 9800XL for about $1000. After one year, I started getting blurry scans. Microtek's solution? Buy another scanner from us, we don't repair anything.
Now I have upgraded to Leopard. New drivers are only available on Microtek's website, which is perpetually down. I called tech support and
a sleepy girl answered the phone and didn't know anything about computers in general, much less my driver problem. She kept referring to "my website". I said, "What does my website have to do with anything?"
I asked to speak to her supervisor and I got patched into a message that said the supervisor was at home, and to please leave a message.
I wish I could faithfully express how unprofessional this all is.
After my dealings with the Microtek Corporation and manufacturer of mediocre products with zero tech support, I can only conclude and sincerely believe that the Microtek must be run out of a shipping container somewhere in Oakland.
MICROTEK MUST BE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. Why else would they treat people like this?
Google them if you don't believe me. There are hundreds of threads about how lame Microtek is and how crumby their support is. I have to "rate" this product based on Amazon's review process, so I am giving them one star, but I would give them zero stars if I could...
