    I purchased this product so that I can upload old images while visiting family throughout the country. I have since scanned and uploaded hundreds of pictures successfully. On occasion a picture would stall, but I realized that this issue was largely a result of the quality of the photo paper.

    I've been wanting to move from a "accept and file all paper mail" lifestyle to a "scan then shred" lifestyle. This thing made it super easy. I'm able to scan to Image Capture on OSX Ventura with no issues. There are probably smarter workflows to do this - it's annoying to say, scan multiple documents to the same file, but I probably just don't know how to use it well yet.

    Very nice single page scanner. Easier to use than the Brother units I've had in past. Software more logical. Very fast and great quality scans.

    Needed a scanner that scanned without a computer. Unfortunately you need to download software and no memory card scanning was an option.

    I love that this scanner can plug right into my computer to power and upload scans. I’ve used other portable scanners that required a memory card and then I had to pull the images off the card. This is way easier and the quality of the scanned documents are amazing.

    Loveeeee this little machine. I take it everywhere with me, for work obviously. I wish it was easier to save the scanned doc. The UX of the software app is a little outdated but it works. It would be nice it is synced with drop box or Google. The roller is not along the entire width of the scanner so it sometimes doesn’t grab 8 1:2 sheets well unless you hold the corners, it’s easy once you get used to it.

    This is a great device for simple scanning! I have a lot of paperwork that I scan and it’s nice to be able to scan on the go! You can set a destination location and document format for all documents scanned. Easy to scan multiple page documents as well, although you need to feed page by page. My only complaint is that you need to set the DPI based on what you’re scanning and that can be a trial and error phase until you’re satisfied with the scan quality.

    At first of bought a brother scanner. Installed the drivers and all the software, it would scan, but never upload. And it picked two pages at a time. So I returned it on the last day to return, and got this much cheaper, plug and play Epson. No it does not have automatic feed, but it does what it supposed to, with taking a very little footprint on my desk.
