This works exactly like it should. If there is a chip this will pick it up and give you the chip ID number

Great Microchip Reader
This microchip reader works really well. It helped in identifying my litter of puppies that were near look-alikes. I used AKC microchips on the litter, and it read them easily. It also detected microchips in my older dogs that had an other brand of microchips. I do not use avid microchips, so it wasn’t a problem that it does not read that chip. It was able to detect microchips fast in all of my dogs. It is very small and fits in a purse or pocket. If you do not have 20/20 eye site, you may need a magnifying glass, as the numbers are small. I am glad I bought this product instead of the overpriced ones for sale by AKC and other microchip manufacturers.

It works!
I was a bit skeptical about this due to the price, but I have to say it works quite well. It came right out of the box with a full charge and ready to go. Using it was really easy and self explanatory. It easily scanned all 5 of my dogs (who happen to all have different microchips) with one swipe over the neck. I was surprised I didn't have to get super close to the skin and was able to pick up the microchip from about 5-6 inches above the fur. It's small, compact, and the screen is easy to read even in the sun. This has also already become super helpful in our neighborhood HOA to scan dogs that have been lost roaming the neighborhood. I am not giving this 5 stars for a couple of reasons. #1, The beep when operating this unit is not only a high pitch, but it is quite loud and all 5 of my dogs were quite freaked out by this scanner. #2, when the numbers came up on the scanner, there is no way of assigning a name, letter or even a number to each 15 -18 digit microchip number. The unit stores each chip number by numerical order for you manually. So if you need to scan or store a number of dogs, there is no way of assigning even one letter to each microchip number for reference. My way around this was to take a picture of the microchip number, with my phone as it popped up on the screen, with that specific dog also in the photo. Having said that, I'm sure most of these units all work the same way. For the price, I would definitely purchase this again.

Easy to use.
I have scanned several stray cats and only one had a microchip. The display shows the functions available by progressing through the list with the up and down arrow keys. This product is totally worth its price.

Life Saver!
This is wonderful! I thought portable pet scanners would be prohibitively expensive. I know Amazon reviews are not supposed to talk about the price, but in this case that made the difference between buying and not buying it. I keep it in my car so next time I encounter a cat that is very friendly or a dog who is obviously lost, I can gets its chip information before trying to transport it to a vet.

Great gift
I don’t have a pet myself, but I gave it to my friend as a birthday gift, and he really likes it, so I assume it works great.

Works, but the interface is a bit off
It does its job, once you get past the quirks.The basics are solid. It reads chips like it's supposed to, and reports its findings through USB cable, wireless USB dongle, and Bluetooth. It works with every device and OS, because it imitates a keyboard (with one exception, detailed below). Okay, I can't personally vouch for all possible chip reading, because I only have two cats and they have the same model chip, but this device reads the same ID number shown on the animal shelter paperwork.The quirks are why I deducted a star. The user interface is odd; there's no indication that you can scroll off the bottom of the screen, but you can, and you will need to. The interface was not translated by a fully fluent native speaker: there is a command to control whether time is listed before or after the chip ID number (or not at all), but it's called "Prifix Suffix". Those are annoying, but I can't call them outright failures.The outright failure is in the USB cable support. The device has a USB-C port, and comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable, which works perfectly well. In fact, every A-C cable I tried worked just fine. The failure hits USB-C to USB-C cables; every one I tried failed completely. I happened to already have a USB-C to USB-A (male) cable and a USB-C to USB-A (female) cable; putting those together worked just fine. That could be typical, for all I know, but I make no promises.

Super easy to use with customizable features
Great little device that found my dogs' microchips within a second of hovering it over their necks. Arrived charged to 3/4 and ready to use. Customizable features include *volume control* (can be turned to silent for those worried about it startling their pets), screen brightness, and date.Connects to your computer via USB or Bluetooth dongle (both included) so you can save your scans to your system. Charging cable is USB-C. I was worried that it wouldn't recognize my one dog's chip because it's an AVID microchip (a 15-digit one), but it had no problem. My other dog was microchipped in Spain and it had no trouble finding it.I spent an hour researching / deciding which device to buy and am happy with my purchase.

No screen protector
No screen protector.Given these are usually put in pocket and other 'rough' areas when used, it would have been nice to have a sleeve or screen protector

Only connects to PC, not mobile phone or tablet like the photos show
The scanner I received seemed to be used. It had scratches all over the screen. To add to that, there were previous pets scanned in the view before I scanned my pup. The packaging was cracked and it was definitely not new.In the photos describing the scanner, one of them shows that it connect via blue tooth, showing a mobile phone and tablet. This scanner does NOT connect to your mobile phone or tablet, only to a PC via software that they have to email you. This was confirmed by the seller. My PC did not like the zip attachment that was emailed to me and refused to download it.On all these points, I have to return it.
