    I needed a document scanner for personal archiving and really did not want to purchase a low end ink jet printer/scanner. The price was a little daunting but once I tried the unit I was sold. It is fast, USB powered, and very accurate (top scan 300 DPI). For me a great product.

    It is a simple scanner and it just works. Nothing fancy and nothing bulky. If you have limited space and need to scan only a few single page documents at a time, this scanner does it well. It can easily be stored on a shelf when not in use.

    I brought this to primarily save documents onto a drive because the physical copies I had stored up was taking up too much space in my room. As instructed, make sure you charge the scanner first when you plug it to your laptop. You have to charge the scanner first before installing the drive and program combo pack. After that, you are good to! It has worked well for me so far. Best purchase ever!

    I didn’t realize this even existed. What a game changer. I am so excited to scan my paperwork then shred it. So nice to have room in my filing cabinet again. Plus I can put everything on a thumb drive in case of emergency.

    Perfect for scanning all types of documents. Scanned images are clear and can be easily reviewed. User interface is easy, although it requires an epson account and other steps to set up and install. Saved documents can be stored and retrieved easily from created folders. It can only do one document at a time, but that is okay because it is for home use.

    Portable Scanner a Must

    Love the portability of the scanner. Only one issue I have encountered, if the piece of paper to scan is not in 100% straight, it will scan in crooked, of course. But, easily fixed by reinserting. Small annoyance but not enough to not enjoy the product.

    NOT Duplex scanner

    NOT double sided scanner - it says that it should be, the customer service agents says it is, but there is no setting for duplex scanning. It's still a fast scanner and multipages is easy enough, but I purchased this scanner because it could do duplex scanning with one pass.

    Bought primarily to be a receipt scanner, not so good for that - was hoping to get around the limitation of a flatbed scanners bed length for long receipts but it had trouble feeding them and keeping them straight, so back to Best Buy and exchanged for a flat bed scanner. (it was happier with 8.5 x 11 paper)

    This scanner does what I wanted it to do, low volume personnel scanning. It was simple to set up, plug it in and say yes a few times. Works very well. Saves my documents where I want them. It does have more features that I currently don't use, but nice to know there are available.
