Good portable program. I prefer it to WinDirStat because it's easier to work with quickly.
Extremely easy to use and does everything I need. None of the alternatives I've tried improve on the fundamentals, which are the most important.
I've been using it for years, it's a very handy little app. Try it out, it doesn't even need to be installed, just execute the .exe file.
I really like the sunburst charts that Scanner produces, over the tree view charts that Spacemonger and other alternatives produce. I find it's far superior to tracking down space hogs.
The GUI is a bit annoying though. The only way to make the window bigger or smaller, is by using the + and - buttons, and it only goes up to about 800x700 pixels. You can't maximize it, and you can't resize using the lower right corner of the window.
