Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not as easy to use as I thought it would be. I like that it's compact and fast.

This product works perfectly. We purchased for one of our county commissioners to be able to travel and work!

This scanner for its size " Brother " does a very good job . It's small and easy to handle . Easy to use and store .

Scanner works great, took a little bit to set up. Well worth the money

Great buy for the money. Would definitely recommend.

May very well be a decent scanner but I was trying to get it to work with a Mac -- which it does not do. Somehow got it to work once with it but then after more research found out it is not Mac compatible. Had to return. If you have an Apple product that you were hoping to use this with you'll need to keep looking.

I purchased wanting one with a USB port to be able to download pics and documents once scanned. The fact that this was not capable to do that wasn't what made me wish I didn't purchase. It was yhe fact that the price didn't have justice. Other more cost effective devices do the exact same thing this does

Don't buy this scanner. The only benefit of its "portability" is so that you can scream at it in other locations away from your home office. It jams consistently after 4-5 pages, and doesn't have a paper catch tray, so you'll never be able to scan more than 1-2 pages at a time. When it jams, the program requires you to unplug and plug back in. The rollers feed paper in diagonally.. so you look like a scrub if you plan to send any professional documents with black and blurry edges. Better off getting a ScanSnap or just using an app on your phone. Both are better quality, equally portable, have better connectivity options and design.

Needed this for Teleworking. Does the job well for the price

Very nice product, although it scans with slight distortion on the edges.

Excellent services, good and friendly product for daily basis

This is working out great for me working from home. Easy to install.

Easy to set up. Small space needed works great used for small home office scanning daily.

Small, fast and take up a lot of desk space. Easy to install and software is intuitive.

The Brother ADS-1200 came at the perfect time in my life. As I try and 'de-clutter,' I'm also trying to help my aging parents do the same while also making things like pictures and documents more accessible to our increasingly digital lives. The Brother ADS-1200 really is extremely compact. I've had the pleasure of using a variety of different scanners from high-end business scanners to those made for more personal use--including one designed specifically for photos. First, out of the box, the ADS-1200 is very compact and can fit practically anywhere. This is good for those with limited space. Second, it's small enough to be very portable. While I find that it's build quality is sufficient for desktop use, I would not want to be throwing this in a bag and bouncing it around the country side without some sort of protection. Perhaps a carrying case? Setup was rather involved. There is no included software, but you do have access to software options via the Brother's website. Keep this in mind if you will need this software out in the field as the scanner is definitely not plug-n-play. Once you've downloaded and installed all the software, I checked for other updates for my scanner and it needed an additional firmware update. While the process wasn't overly complex (at least for me), it wasn't seamless and I can see notice users (like my parents) getting hung up. Additionally, the ADS-1200 isn't wireless so it will require a USB (C) cable to connect to your laptop. This IS NOT included for some reason with your scanner. Make sure you either have an adapter or a true USB C cable to use. Once you do have your cable, the good thing is that the scanner can be powered entirely off of the cable which makes it great for portable/field use. Once you have your scanner setup, scanning is relatively easy and quick. The ADS-1200 does full color duplex scans via the automatic document feeder which claims to hold up to 20, but I'd recommend less to minimize potential feeding issues (sporadic) with 15+ pages in the ADF. Scans were quiet, quick, and of high quality. The software you download can further enhance your scans should you so desire. Whether scanning full size documents, business cards/IDs (built in slot/scanner), or pictures, the Brother ADS-1200 handled them well. Occasionally, documents (particularly longer documents) would come out slightly crooked. This isn't a huge issue for what I'm doing, but if you're one of those people where everything has to be straight, it might annoying. In conclusion, I would recommend the Brother ADS-1200 for any light-duty scanning that you might need. Personally, it's helping preserve family memories that have been stored in boxes collecting dust. Now, they'll be digitally available forever. It's small size and portability also means that I can do this while still socializing with family. I sat mine on the coffee table and worked a couple of hundred pictures while still getting to visit with family rather than being stuck in my office with my multipurpose scanner. I can also throw it in a bag (gently) and take it to where my family lives and do work there. I think the ADS-1200 is a nice option for your scanning needs and won't break your bank in the process. Pros: *Size *Portability *Can be powered via USB or AC Adapter *Speed *Noise Cons: *Feel like it should've come with or have a carrying case to protect it during transport *Doesn't include REQUIRED USB C cable. Since most people don't have USB C cables sitting around like they do USB A cables, I feel like some people will be surprised and disappointed once they get home and can't use it. *ADF gets prone to misfeeds above 15 pages. But for a portable scanner, 15 should sufficient for most.

Great little scanner. Everything you need and even scans cards.

Nice medium priced scanner for my small office. Ordered online and it was brought to my car!?

No Manual provided for set-up or use, making the process for set-up and use frustrating.

I have been using this for about a month now and for the price the thing works awesome
