A small scanner that works well for documents. The software was easy to install and the scanner is easy to operate. It is only a few inches wide and easy to store.

This is an awesome scanner. It is very compact and portable. You can carry it wherever you go. It is very convenient for me because I have little ones running around. I can easily put it up where they can’t get to it. This scanner scans with a breeze. I can easily hook it up to WiFi and it gets the job done. Also the battery life is awesome. 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.”

The scanner itselfs scans a max resolution of 300dpi only. If you need a higher resolution this is not the scanner for you. Scanning regular paper prints works well if you need a basic scanner. There are some quirks with how it scans documents and photos as the auto feed wheel is on the left side of the machine. This results with slightly skewed scans if the document/photo does not span the max width of the device. Users can generally quickly realign the skew within the scanning program with the crop tool. The biggest issues with the scanner comes from scanning high gloss photos as the wheel of auto feed wont catch the surface of the photo resulting in very skewed/distorted scans.

This lightweight portable scanner is awesome! Just plug it in the USB port on your device and push the button on the scanner and the document/receipt/card appears on your device screen to be named and saved in the program of your choice. My son keeps stealing it to scan stuff so we may need two. At first I thought it would only scan and save one page at a time, but if you just keep feeding pages in one after the other, they all go into one document. Stack feeding doesn't work on this small device, but truthfully, my full-sized scanner doesn't do that without jamming either, so I can't complain. You can adjust the document length (up to 72 inches) through the scanner program. Now I don't have to wait until I get to the office to use the big scanner. I can scan from my home office or on the go. Worth the money and no batteries to replace.

Works great and easy to install. Price is right. Also scanner hardly takes up any room which is good for me. Work in a small area.

Perfect little scanner for a home office! When I needed documents scanned and emailed, this was so convenient to have on my desk and not have to leave to have it scanned elsewhere. This was exactly what I needed for the right price. It was the perfect choice!

This is a unit for occasional scans, not for high volume production. However, it is super portable; it is not wireless but the wire that comes with it is not too long, and very convenient to plug in. The unit scans quickly in color and in black and white. It is set upf for letter size scans, but smaller documents are ok, and one very long document (36 inches) scanned just fine, though the image had to be enlarged on the screen to read the words. One has the choice betwee a pdf document or a jpg file. The scanned files can be saved to hard drive or to flash drive. The scanned files are given a sequential designation. However, if one converts the names of these file to something more identifiable, the Scanner starts the number sequence over. I would recommend it to a friend if their scanning need were similar to mine. I would not recommend this to someone need to scan many documents every day. Epson has other products designed for high volume situations. They are more expensive, but save time in frequent high volume situations.

Bought on sale for $50, well worth that price. The Epson software feels a bit invasive and is far too annoying to use. I personally just use the Image Capture app on MacOS or the Windows Scan and it works just fine with these default applications. It has a feeder detection that will "suck up" the paper if it detects a page has loaded, which is very cool The colors are a bit off, but for the $50 I paid, that is more than okay. For the purposes I am using it for, which is receipt and letter scanning, it works just fine. 300 DPI is decent. You aren't super zooming on anything, but everything is legible even if zoomed close in. You can sort of make out hidden text in bank checks, so that is pretty good. The 600 DPI and 1200 DPI are just options that are available, but realistically shouldn't go past 300 DPI on this scanner.

This scanner works great! Scans come out looking fine, I waited to do a review until I had used it several times, and it has done a great job. My scanner printer combo gave out, so I replaced the printer with one that uses inexpensive ink cartridges, and had to find a decent replacement scanner. My first thought was to get another flatbed scanner, but after looking, I found that the sheetfeed scanners were comparable in price, and had comparable reviews, and the added benefit of being portable. So, I bought this sheetfeed scanner. Glad I did, it's small enough that it fits nicely in my laptop bag so you can easily take it with you to use with your laptop. Works great with the desktop, too, takes very minimal storage area. It was easy to set up, and is easy to use. So far, I have'nt had to re-scan anything.

Setting it up was fairly easy and the scans are very fast. It scanned in color when I tested it at setup but not now. I am sure there is an easy fix but I haven't figured it out yet. Clear scans

Great purchase. I wanted a dedicated desktop scanner but couldn’t afford one. I haven Epson printer/scanner but the autofeed keeps jamming and using the flatbed is slow and tedious. This little scanner is perfect. The quality is excellent, many options for saving or converting and it’s fast compared to the scanner on my printer. One of the only purchases I have that has no complaints or problems.

Love this! It’s ease of use is incredible and you can scan multiple pages and save them to one document all at once. Plus it’s easy to store and takes up little space.

This unit is great on the road or on the desk in front of a keyboard. It's small and light compared to similar units by other makers. The USB port is on the right side of the scanner, which means the cable is out of the way when scanning. Long receipts are not a problem for the ES-50. Other units will error out after 14", your typical Best Buy receipt is longer. Epson's MAC scanning software is basic, but gets the job done pretty quickly. If you're looking for small and to just get it done fast, then give this wicked little wonder a shot.
