Smoostart Microchip Scanner ISO11784/85/FDX-B/EMID 1000 Data Upload to PC

I have used it on my own 3 cats and it works great and I have used it on street cats too and it shows me their microchip numbers if they have a chip. I highly recommend it. The price is also very very low for a good chip reader.

others have noted that this doesn't work well, works OK for me, biggest problem is probably the migration of the chip Once you find it it picks it up no worries

Excellent purchase. Does the job.

Easy to use but only used twice and now it won’t recharge after trying multiple chargers

I bought this as we have a bunch of stray cats in the area and my neighbour was just feeding them constantly. I couldn't stop thinking about it; if they weren't strays, she was feeding someone else's cats and if they were, she wasn't getting them any help. I raised my concerns to her and she agreed, but didn't know what else she could do. I turned into our area's cat rescue service - every morning, when she fed the cats, I was out with this little device scanning them for chips to see if we could alert their owners for the fat ones and take them to a vet/shelter for the skinny, dirty ones. Turns out most of them were greedy (no surprise) but a few had genuine health issues and no chip, so I caught them and took them to the vet over the course of a week. And that's how I ended up going from 1 cat to 5 cats, because all the shelters were full and I wasn't going to just release them.The device works fine, it's just a bit quick to process the microchip number so it's worth having a phone ready to take a picture. The battery is a little bit touch and go, but unless you're a vet, you're unlikely to be using this constantly. It's a cute device too, looks good and feels smooth.

Works perfect

easy to find the chips in animals

Charger broke after a few months so now the device is unusable, I’ve tried different usbc type chargers and they don’t work. Not worth the money for long term but do the job short term.

Fast charging.Long life battery.Shows complete number in any time of the day

Works great, I bought a few for the rescue I work with.

Please do not buy this item, the scanner cannot be charged at all.Tried using latops, pc and power socket with original and other USBc to no avail.Typical chinese switch and bait tactic.

Funciona muy bien! Tienes que pasar por encima del chip para que lo lea correctamente. Lo tengo desde hace más de un año y sigue funcionando sin problemas. La batería mantiene bien la carga y, pese a haber estado al sol y algo expuesto a la lluvia, continúa funcionando como el primer día.

Fast shipping, functions well, is cheap. 5 stars and will update the review if any issues pop up.Bought this to scan a stray domestic bunny I caught. Tested it on 4 cats and 1 bunny known to be chipped. It scanned all of them rapidly, accurately and with ease. I didn't have to hunt around for the chip or struggle with positioning.Other reviewers have mentioned that the unit beeps and that it's loud or frightened their animals. Some very skittish animals may be bothered, but all of my animals are used to the sounds of human life. None of them were bothered at all.The unit's audio UX is actually thoughtfully designed and musical. It has a little square-wave synthesizer chip so it can output a range of tones, and it has different short patterns or melodies that indicate status changes: "I'm on", "I'm going-to-sleep", "You pushed the button", "I scanned a chip!", and "Try again".For $20 this did everything I need and doesn't feel or act as cheap as it looks.If you plan to use this heavily, like in a small vet office or a rescue, I'd be cautious about sterilizing it. It's probably not resistant to alcohol wipes or moisture intrusion, for example. I'd wrap it in plastic.
