For $40, this is a great scanner. Indeed as others mentioned, it is somewhat flimsy, has software limitations, and requires some renovations for smooth physical operation. Make sure you have the smaller memory card 32G (these days all we had had were larger ones) it won't work with anything larger.
See attached pictures for fixes:
- file off several injection mold nibs (so slides don't catch preventing them from falling into place from the stack of slides - mfg plastic nib/whiskers prevent smooth dropping into place; very easily filed)
- install a diagonal rail/guide so slides don't catch on poorly designed plastic protruding corner
- bend the hold-down leaf spring tabs so they do their work - as-was, they were up in the air and didn't touch the slide.
- the screw threads are minimal and the receiving plastic thickness ("business end") for holding the unit together is thin. I ended up using contact cement glue on the threads to get them to hold. I guess it's not meant to be repaired.
Now, all that said, it produces great scans, at a FRACTION of the price of other products.
The operating modes/parameters are funky but workable. Some trial-and-error helps one find the right combination of settings.
I would buy it again, and even go thru the modifications.
I'm surprised that the original designer didn't test it in actual practice to discover especially the protruding corner that is in the direct path of sliding the slide into position. (if the slide is not snug to the "bottom" edge of the 2 1/8" trough "width" (slides are 2x2"), it can easily creep "upwards" toward that protrusion and not want to slide into the scanning position).

With these tips, it works pretty well and meets expectations - is worth the cost
First, I'm an IT guy, so technology and taking things like this apart or making software work is my game. I'm decent at it after 35 years...Wanted to provide tips for use of this, since I'm happy with my purchase, but it's got some design flaws in the slide tray. Tips for success:1) ONLY scan 1 slide at a time2) If slides get stuck on top of each other after you scan slide 1, when scanning slide 2 (slide 2 pushes up on top of the 1st slide and double stacks under the camera) --- You need to take the slide tray apart (6 micro phillips screws) and push down the silver tabs that hold the slide in place for the photo. Big improvement #1!!3) When advancing a new slide into the scanner, have the scanner tilted at a 45 degree angle with the top edge lifted off the table, and the bottom edge of the scanner lower. The slides may continue to stick as you advance them, but it will be 10% of the problem it was before this. Big improvement #2!!Thankfully there are only these 2 major improvmeents needed. After doing 120 slides, I evaluated the cost of having costco do this for me, but at .28/slide, I'd be $600-$1000 based on the amount of slides I have from my childhood, so I'm going to spend some time doing this instead.Hope this helps you!!Pictures attached to this review:1) actual scanned pic of outdoor slide scan2) actual scanned pic of indoor slide scan3) back of unit showing it lifted off the table as I advance the next slide forward4) side shot of unit showing it lifted at 45 degrees as I advance the next slide forward5) top down view as I scan slides

Amazing value, but requires some (easy) fixes
