The Bottom Line The Canon CanoScan LiDE 210 is one of the smallest flatbed scanners I've ever reviewed. Don't be fooled by its size, though; the LiDE 210 offers a lot of functionality and convenience in a small footprint--and with a small price as well.

Small scanner; yet scans up to 11.7-inch documents; Five one-touch button choices for scanning to PDF or send to e-mail; Runs off USB 2.0; Can be mounted on its side to save space; Inexpensive

Lid can only be raised a small amount; OCR works only with Notepad

Flatbed scanners cover the full range of scanning needs, from single-page SOHO devices to high quality photo scanners and high throughput archival scanners. Canon's CanoScan range is aimed at consumers and the LiDE 210 is a little above its entry-level offerings.

Quick and generally above-average scans; ScanGear is effective scanner applet; Easy multi-page PDF creation

Very basic OCR; Trouble resolving black and white test pattern; Dust/scratch removal only passable

I've had this scanner for over a year, and I like the fact that it operates off the USB alone - no power cord! The MP Navigator EX utility is also very flexible and useful. I especially like being able to create a multi-page PDF from several scanned pages.

I like it a lot..it is fast...I still can't set up the margins so that when I want to copy something it goes off the page...I'll have to work on that unless you have an easy solution...thanks

I have an iMac that is running on OS 10.6.5 Snow Leopard and the Canon software is compatible. This is definitely a plus because there aren't a lot of options there for third party Mac-compatible scanning software. My main uses include scanning multiple-page PDF files and occasional photocopying.

Easy Setup; Fast PDF scans; Good Resolution; Useful software; Widely Compatible; Works on a Mac; Works on Network

First is not plug and play, and the installation is complicate, I don't if because I Window 10. To save the documents scanned he does it where HE wants not where I need to save. I disconnetd and using the all one.

I've replaced my old Canon scanner due to lack of drivers for windows 7, nice going Canon! This one is very fast and works very well. Most suprising is the cost for performance is very low.

I'd say buy this scanner if you do nothing more than documents and possibly a few photos. There is no need to buy a scanner with all the bells and whistles unless they are needed.

This scanner is nice and sleek and will fit in nicely in cramped quarters; It also makes great scans

The install CD does not have divers for Windows7, 32 or 64 bit; I learned this by putting it on an older computer just to check it out while waiting for a new computer; I had to contact Canon about it and they promptly gave me a reply with how to download the drivers.

I am very satisfied with this scanner. Scans quicly. It produces high resolution and accurate colors. Can be used to create pdf files from scanned documents.

Accurate Color; Easy To Set Up; Fast Image Processing; Fast scan; Good Bit Depth; Good Resolution; Widely Compatible

Quite easy to operate, Canon Canoscan LiDE 210 Scanner also offers numerous features to cater to the user requirements. The Desktop Colour Flatbed Scanner presents the CIS scanning element. 3-colour (RGB) LED is the provided Light Source.
