Black Widow 4830 Pro review

Verdict:

By far the cheapest, and not bad at all, but a bit Heath-Robinson under the lid.

Review Date: 1 Mar 1999

Price when reviewed: (£58) RRP, £49 (£58) approximate street price

Our Rating 4 stars out of 5

At the end of the day, the Black Widow 4830 Pro deserves praise because, despite its incredibly low £49 price tag, the quality isn't at all bad. And as it's also compact and fast, it's a good choice for document management. The only reason it doesn't earn a recommendation is that Mustek's £65 ScanExpress 600USB offers noticeably better quality for just £16 more. We can't imagine anyone would let this price difference sway their decision. But if you've got an older PC that doesn't support USB and you're looking for a bargain, the 4830 isn't a bad choice.
