P6

We replaced a well-known wired brand with this reader. It was a complete success. We used it in a sporting goods store to read labels with 12-digit ANSI barcodes for the most part. It reads other barcodes without any issues. Reading product codes is very convenient because it's wireless; you don't have to get tangled up in cables or have to place it in a fixed location. The battery life is extraordinary, easily lasting more than two months without needing to be recharged. We've been using it for several years now without any issues.

This is a very well made and robust device. It came shipped and packaged in a sturdy box and the instructions are written in grammatically correct English so right off the bat I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product, packaging and instructions. Seriously, I can't stress how common it is to receive instructions that are barely comprehensible from out of the country manufacturers so getting something for a technical device that had instructions that I could actually understand was a huge plus especially when you may need to change settings. The device can be changed from its default settings by using bar codes that are in the instruction manual... just point and click. Pretty ingenious really. The USB transmitter works great in a plug-and-play capability into my Windows 10 computer and then immediately communicating to the handheld bar code reader. The wireless capability is nice although it also came with a USB cable for charging the reader's internal batteries or connecting in a wired fashion back to the PC USB port. I was able to read all my bar codes from frequent shopping cards, loyalty cards, etc and it would input it directly into the PC app. The wireless dongle performed very well in how far you can be away from the computer as it collects info. I had my computer on the far side of my house on the second floor and I was able to have successful scans on the other side of the house on the first floor about 60 feet away. The scanner works very fast and provides an audible beep on every successful reading so its easy to know when you are not getting a read of a barcode. Some barcodes were acquired faster than others due to some scuffed up labels from being shipped but all the codes could be read. However with everything I like about this product and I must say there is little to not like, the one thing I was hoping for was the ability to be able to read bar codes off a smart phone screen display. My church uses scanners for kids check-in and this works great for a portable solution for scanning the kid's tags. Since people lose their key tags (but not their smartphones) I wanted to scan the bar codes directly from their smartphone stored bar code. Unfortunately it wasn't able to do that. This particular scanner uses a common laser scanner which isn't good at reading off an electronic display. You need a different technology other than laser for that. So I am upgrading up to 5 stars since I can't really take off a star for something it isn't designed to do in the first place but it was worth trying. ;-) It does exceptionally well in reading codes off the typical inventory or shipping labels... and kids key tags for church check-in. :-)

I got one about 2 weeks ago for our back office, and I purchased a 2nd one to use at our front register today. Our current scanners can't read super small and thin barcodes, and it drives me nuts. With this Inateck one, it reads the difficult barcodes and it wasn't frustrating getting it setup. This was the first wireless version i've used, where it worked right away when I plugged everything in. All the others, I've gotten fairly mad at with having to scan in multiple codes before I could get the wireless part connected - We have had about 3 other wireless ones. As far as dropping, I've tested it from 2.5' (by accident), and it's still functioning well. The hand grip is fairly comfortable, and the mustard yellow color helps me locate it when I lose it in the store - Which can happen often. Overall, this device is great for the price!

Been using it for almost a month. Seems to be a very solid product. Good at scanning even when the bar code is faded out, torn or dirty and most other scanners would have problems picking up. Has a nice loud beep. Very easy to use straight out of the box and already charged. Didn't need to do anything other than plug in the USB receiver and turn it on. Used it 15 to 20 times a day average for almost a month and still didn't need to recharge it yet. Only downside is doesn't scan the 2d codes some newer vehicles are starting to use. Will update my review six months from now to see how well it holds up. Update: been using for almost a year and a half now with no problems, still going strong.

Scanner worked well right out of the box. Connected easily with my Win10 laptop using the included WiFi dongle. A handy "cheat card" with scannable barcodes to switch back and forth in inventory modes is also included. Unit is light and ergonomic with TPU construction- doesn't feel "cheap" but also doesn't feel rugged; however, manufacturer claims it withstands repeated 6ft. (1.8m) drops to concrete floor. I have yet to test that claim. LOL! Had an issue when uploading a batch scan ("Inventory Mode") via my laptop to our Cloud-based inventory program where the data transmission speed was too fast and caused an import error. Sent an email to their customer support department at 2:04 pm on Wednesday; received a response at 4:04 pm with detailed, thorough instructions on how to resolve it, complete with the latest firmware files, their bootloader and updated user manual as attachments. After following her step-by-step instructions, I was able to adjust the data transmission speed to 64ms and voila! Batch scan import worked perfectly!! Apparently the firmware update added the ability to adjust the data transmission speed from 0ms (default) to 128ms. Needless to say, I was VERY impressed with their support and service. Haven't had it long enough to attest to battery life or durability, but based on what I've experienced thus far, I am very happy with this purchase and have no doubt it will perform as advertised for many years to come.

I just started a plant nursery and wanted to start using a scanner to help track inventory as well as sales. I'm so glad I got this one and didn't get a dud since it's my first time doing this. As I said, it's my first time using one and so far it's been easy to figure out. There's a good instruction book with it which helps a lot. The wireless part works well and makes life easier in my greenhouse. I'm still looking for software to use it with. For now just tinkering with a spreadsheet to get use to it. It's light weight and priced well which is nice too. Highly recommend.

**Update**Doesn’t work, haven’t had a chance to use it until now so out of return time. First time I tried to use it, seems the on/off button is the issue. I called customer service and they are sending me out a new one, they contacted me back immediately and were very friendly and professional. Will give a 5 star after I verify the replacement works properly.

This Inateck Pro 6 barcode scanner is so much better than alot of them I tried from Amazon. Reads barcode very well and very fast too. We use 5 of them in our warehouse. Excellent tech support.
