Im seriously considering buying one but dont want to buy and think what a waste of money.

So honest opinions please.

Do you think they are good/bad?
Was it a phase that you used it and now dont?
Whats the quality like - will i be thinking should have gone to Asda?

I love mine.

They are fab for EYFS folders, learning journals and daily diary's.

The only down side is the battery only holds enough charge to print off 2-3 photo's before you have to charge it again.

I've just ordered one today. Not sure how I'm going to get along with it I print off approx 10 pics a day for diaries.

Carolyn has one and the only complaint I have heard is the charging as Toothfairy has mentioned too.
I have just purchased one (not used it as yet) for son's wedding reception so that a photo can be printed and stuck in the Guest book next to signatures/ messages, thought it would be a nice keepsake to look back on in years to come

I am hoping it will save me a fortune in ink!!! My printer has 4 separate cartridges, and they all seem to go at the same time so it costs me about £30 to change them all. June has found 70 sheets of pogo paper for about £12 on line, so I am hoping it will be cheaper than printing the small pictures out on my printer and they are just the right size to peel off and stick on our obs sheets :D !!! Time will tell :thumbsup:

I love mine :clapping: And so did Mrs Ofsted at my inspection :thumbsup:

I just have mine plugged in so I can print off the photos as battery life is short.

I loved the idea of one, but when I bought mine im just not happy...i've only used the pack that came with it and its streaking {which is a common problem} but not interested in it now...so I'm selling mine.

My camera and printer are fab especially when my separate inks are really cheap just bought 3 complete sets for £15.,really cheap.

If the photo starts to streak, just run the blue card through and it clears it straight away.

I love mine too - I just leave it plugged in for the majority of the time as the charge on it is pants. I would say that its claim to be 'mobile' - ie take it out with you is perhaps a falsie.
I have had no problems other than that with mine, no streaking etc.
Its really handy as I take lots of pix on my phone when I am out and about and its so easy just to print them off.
I am trying to figure out how to get bluetooth on the PC and so I send some of my fav pix to the printer.

Okay how do they work? no idea myself, do you put your cameras memory card in them? seem to be all different prices, if you were buying one what would you need to buy with it and which one? as you can tell not into electronics but people keep praising these and its costing me a fortune in Boots developing photos!

The easiest way is to bluetooth from your mobile phone but you can link with the cable from your digital camera to the pogo. Only takes a minute to print a picture :thumbsup:

I absolutely love mine and tend to keep in plugged in to use, altho have taken it out a couple of times. Can't explain how bluetooth works tho - we think it flies thru the air on the back of tiny tiny unicorns, lands in the printer where a little man waits with a paintbrush (prove me wrong)!!!!!:laughing:

Love mine, although I couldn't get the bluetooth thing to work, probably me. I use it for learning journals and for kids sleepover. Kids get to take their pics home with them, and stick them up:laughing:
