Advantages: Cheap, excellent results

Disadvantages: A bit slow, OCR software not great.

For the average family user this an excellent scanner. Easy to set up, and comes with excellent 'Scanwise' software which makes it dead easy for someone with little knowledge about scanners to obtain excellent results.
It comes with OCR software too, letting you scan text straight into a text document. However, this software isn't partularly accurate and can make a lot of mistakes and I rarely use it.
It's not the fastest scanner I've seen, although I've got the parrallel port version and the USB version may be faster, but at the end of the day this is more than what you would expect at this price.

Summary:
