Our home office was overrun with paper and I was determined to simplify and organize the mess by going to a mostly paperless filing system. I considered several scanners such as Neatdesk, and Cannon. I decided to go with the scansnap and I'm really glad I did. Our house is small and this desktop scanner can sit on the desk in an unobtrusive way. I was able to set this scanner up in minutes and go so addicted to scanning (and then shredding documents) I literally transformed my workspace and eliminated 50% of our paper files in a few hours. I highly recommend this scanner! The slight downside is sometimes the paper would jam - however this happened when I tried to over-stuff the feeder and after 30+ minutes of continual use. My conversion to a paperless system was too much for the motor on my shredder. :(

Bought this for the company that I work for. The employees love the scanner. It's quick and efficient I haven't heard anyone complain. They love being able to scan directly to their computers.

It's portable, you can choose to scan in color or B + W, the scans are high quality - what's not to like?!? Scans are speedier if you plug the scanner in rather than using your computer's USB port. You are given a number of choices for saving your files which is helpful and convenient. My office uses this scanner daily and we are very happy with it - so happy, we bought a second one!

I have been using this scanner for a few years at work. It was for that reason I purchased it for home use for work purposes. It was easy to use due to previous experience. However, it is a simple scanner to set up and use. No problems with set-up, downloading software and no compatibility issues. The quality is very good for my use. The model is older so the price for me does not match. It is easily portable. You can save documents to designated folder on computer. I have no problems scanning up to 8 documents at a time but be careful because sometimes paper may get off track-just make sure you align documents correctly in scanner.

This is my second scan snap scanner. I wore the first one out. Fast with great scan quality in color. Great to travel with. For the price, great value!
