This is not even like a $[...] dollar cheap machine. As another reviewer said, it does look like from a $[...]store! I definitely expect at such a price I can at least have everything I need to use it for a while, but it hasn't a cable in the box! It has only a polarized plug, and the plug is built into a socket-like indentation so that you will need a kind of dedicated extension cable to use it. Dubiously, a cable at price $[...] appeared in the recommendation list the the bottom of the product page. Nobody wants to spend $40+ dollars on this thing!This is a creepy way of doing business, much like the Canon printers which don't include usb cables. So creative... Amazon should stop selling any thing like that and force the manufacturers to stop their wrong-doings.
