PoGo is a No-Go, 2010-08-29
I brought the Polaroid PoGo having read many of the reviews here so I thought I knew what to expect and I thought at £20 I can't really go wrong. However after 1 days use I feel very let down.
So far the print head has needed cleaning every 2 prints, sometimes meaning putting the white sheet (upside down as instructed) twice before attempting another print. Even then the picture has some streaks, and this is a product only 1 day old!
The battery only seems to last 5 minutes then it doesn't even have enough power for the Bluetooth to work. Only practicable solution is to leave it plugged into the mains all of the time which sort of defeats the object of having a small portable printer.
The paper, has an expiry date of September 2009, yes 2009. Although according to other reports the expiry dates shouldn't matter. I am wondering if this may explain the streak marks I am getting on the paper. I brought some more paper which had an expiry date of September 2010 on the outside of the box, but when I opened it up the expiry date on each packet of 10 said February 2009 (how can that be)?
I am glad the printer only cost £20 but it is going to become very expensive buying all of the very expensive Zink paper. So I can rapidly see that this is just going to get left at the bottom of the draw within a month as it's just not up to the job except for a fun mess-about printer.
Pogo Printer is totally lame - bring back the real Poloroid, 2010-08-23
The only thing that is good about the pogo printer is the idea. Yeah, mobile mini-printer for little sitcky shots to put in a scrap book - add to that blue tooth and pict-bridge and you've got a Poloroid for the 21st Century. Cool.
But no - it isn't mobile and it isn't a printer (unless you like to take photos of highly striped things).
Brand new and charged for 10 hours it barely managed to print 5 images before dying. And 3 of those images were so covered in stripes as to be totally unusable. I followed the guidence in the instructions to 'clean' the completely new machine by sending through a sheet of photo paper and it made no difference at all. I'm so disappointed with the piece of rubbish that I might not bother to return it - I don't want the hassle of them trying to send me another one
Poloroid, if you're watching, start producing your old cameras again, and get back into the film business - there are people paying £20 a pop for that stuff on eBay. Add bluetooth and pict-bridge to that technology if you must... but the Pogo is a total waste of time.
The Lack of Power PoGo !, 2010-08-29
Great little Gadget that does what it says it can do.Unfortunately not for very long.
The very poor battery life means that it is a good idea to keep the charger permently
plugged in for best results.
I found that after printing three or four photo's the battery low light would
start to flash, which isn't a lot of good if your somewhere out & about outdoors.
Upside,instant photo's that fit neatly into a purse or wallet and not too
expensive if you shop around.
