Easy Duplicate File Finder

Pros:
The name is compatible with the operations - for there are two steps to set and then you could wait for the result. There are detailed areas to show duplicate files as well as the taken space of them. This is a free tool yet the functions are fairly well.

Cons:
There is only an online Help. It's a little inconvenient for offline users.

Benefits:
Actually, user's reviews are more convincing than what we editors state. There are several users' reviews after using (from the official website):
"Just wanted to write a brief note to you guys and let you know how much I enjoy & appreciate Easy Duplicate Finder. I have a 300GB hard drive that I use to store a lot of files on - photos, a backup of my PHPNuke-driven website (i.e.: THOUSANDS of small and zero bite files), video, programs, etc. I wanted to compare the contents of this drive with a 160GB (XP Partition) drive, a 80GB (2003 server) drive, and a 250GB (but nearly empty) running Vista. ---Regards,
John Y".

From above narration, I assume him a sophisticated user who loves surfing online and downloads lots of programs. Duplicate files are often ignored because there are only a few people to pay attention to them. Let me check the duplicates - surprisingly, the duplicates are twice as the original files! That is, they occupy more space compared with original ones. To remove, to keep; that's a question. In order to keep your PC neat and clean, removal of them is a wise idea.

Setup
It takes a couple of seconds to install. There is no spyware as well as adware, so it's very glad to install without fear.

Should you decide to remove this program, there is an uninstall icon provided by this tool. Just click it and then your PC would not show this program again.

Interface
The interface is very smart because it automatically shows you all the hard disks; the next operation is to select the folders or hard disks to check. The buttons and tabs are designed very concise and clear to see. It is, indeed, no superfluous design to confuse beginners. As I noticed a button which is "Video Downloader"--I was curious about it and then clicked on the button. In fact, it is another program of its company--a smart design to attract users.

System Requirements
Easy Duplicate Find could run on Windows 9X, ME, XP, 2000, and Vista. It's good for Vista users. The RAM requires 128MB or higher; and this is a lightweight tool which occupies 1MB or so. These requirements are easy to meet.

Conclusion
The tool is a very easy and considerate one; there is no difficult operation for beginners to learn. Although it's a lightweight one, the functions are suitable for users and the process of checking duplicates is quite cautious. The most recommendation is the differentiable areas. There you could see "original + duplicate files" and the taken space counterpart. By the way, this is a freeware and if you really like, please make it a donation.
