    This thing is great! Easily portable and once you download and install the driver it’s plug and play. You have to scan each page separately, but it turns them into multi page pdfs easily. Great purchase!

    At this price point and for the compact size this scanner is a no brainer. I’ve only used it for photos and it did a fine job. I’m sure you could find a scanner that does better but you will also pay a premium. I am not complaining and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

    I’m was a little skeptical about using a unit like this but after owning it, I don’t think I’ll own one of those all in one machines ever again. Printers just don’t have to be that big and this small travel type scanner works great.

    Nice and portable so can take with my notebook to family togethers. The autofeed makes this scanner a better choice than a multi-function printer. Little problem installing software to Windows 10 with epson printer software already installed. Call to epson tech control solved problem fast. Had a choice of picking up at a second closest Best Buy or free mailing to house. Surprised it arrived the next day from the nearby store.

    I work in an aircraft maintenance shop, and I always need to keep records of the documentation for the parts I replace on aircraft. The Epson ES-50 is perfect for that—it's easy to use, super portable, and very reliable. I totally recommend it.

    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.

    With a change in work expense accounting I was looking for an easy tool to scan receipts versus taking pictures. This is a simple USB scanner that is great for scanning receipts, or other documents and pictures. Easily fits in my backpack and lightweight. Works great.

    This scanner works great but I would not have purchased this model if I had understood that it does not come with the software that automatically detects and names files. It is optional and cost more than the scanner.

    I like this scanner, the quality was good but I have driver issues, I have to delete the scanner and drivers and reupload everything just to get it to work so I had to call Cannon technical support, and I lost 1 hr 43 min on the phone for nothing. I called a local software guy and in 5 minutes did the job.
