Avoid this model - does not last
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use the scanner very infrequently at home. It does not get heavy use in a work situation. However it stopped working after a year. I keep getting a "load your originals in the ADF before scanning." flashing on the screen every 2 seconds non-stop. Renders my PC inoperable until I unplug the scanner. Tried uninstalling and re-installing several times. This is obviously a hardware issue that EPSON does not cover so they force you buy another one.

Easy, Plug & Go Scanning
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This scanner exceeded my expectations. It's compact, easy to use, fast, and super useful. I work in compliance and frequently scan documents, this was easy to use and made me more effective. Set up was easier than expected and required no assistance. Documents scan clearly and it's relatively quiet, just a slight hum. It's lightweight, and on the go - I use it at work and at home. “This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-50 Portable Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

Amazingly Portable
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this scanner!! I love that its convenient, compact and portable and I can just put it into my bag or briefcase without worrying about wires and where I'm going to plug it in for use. It is extremely lightweight you wont even know you're carrying it. I like that it has wireless connection so when I am having conferences in coffee shops or outside conference rooms, I can just connect to the WIFI and scan my documents. It also has an amazing battery life depending on how much you need to scan at a given time. The one touch scanning makes scanning documents a breeze. Just put the paper by the feeder, press the button an BOOM, scanning made easy. It also has automatic feeding so you don't have to constantly press the scanning button. Just keep feeding the papers until you're finishes and it'll keep taking the papers for scanning. I love that it saves to a cloud so you don't have to worry about having a portable drive or laptop computer to do your saving of documents. I also use the scanner for my home office and it takes up absolutely no space! You can take this little amazing electronic anywhere you need to take it to scan documents for your convenience. You can get onto your cloud from any computer and retrieve you paperwork. This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-50 Portable Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”
