5.0 out of 5 stars Serves the purpose, December 11, 2002
This review is from: HP ScanJet 2300c Flatbed Scanner (Office Product)
I own this scanner and I'm happy with it. I'm sure there are faster scanners on the market at a higher price, but if you're looking for one that does a good job (and you are in no hurry), this is a good buy. I use it to scan photos for my website.

If you are into hi-tech, perhaps you should buy a more expensive scanner. It depends on what your individual needs are as to whether or not you will like this one. It serves the purpose for me and that's why I gave it 5 stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars Prone to hardware failure, November 12, 2004
By 
This review is from: HP ScanJet 2300c Flatbed Scanner (Office Product)
All HP Scanjets, EXCEPT HP Scanjet 2300c, are equipped with an exclusive combination of two sensors: Staggered pixel CCD and Tri-linear CCD.

Also...

Long story, short: In a period of exactly 2 years, I've seen two HP Scanjet 2300c scanners fail due to hardware issues. My original newly-bought HP Scanjet 2300c couldn't slide the moving device under the glass all the way after less than a year. A year after that, the refurbished HP Scanjet 2300c replacement, sent by HP to replace the original, had a lamp failure, causing heavily faded images with green tint. HP tech support also suggested interference with other electronics near the scanner (speakers, monitors, computer...).

Perhaps I was terribly unlucky. The HP Scanjet 2300c had excellent quality...when it worked. But reliability and lifespan are both important as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this scanner!, July 17, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: HP ScanJet 2300c Flatbed Scanner (Office Product)
This product is horrendous! The software constantly freezes up, forcing me to reboot and the scanning head gets stuck on the glass. I had to pry open the top half of the scanner and rest it on the bottom to get it to scan at all. Do not buy this product!
