    I purchased the Epson ES-50 to scan old photographs. I scanned 36 photos and stopped because I went out of town. I got back and wanted to start again and nothing. It will power on but my comouter wont recognize the device. Its so frustrating. It costs too much to have this kind of trouble. It will be going back to the store.

    This is a great mobile scanner, scanning in color. It allows you to feed one piece of paper at a time and has software that allows you to easily move your scanned documents to various other platforms and/or storage options.

    Does not have too many bells and whistles, but for me that is a good thing. I just need to scan documents efficiently for work. This unit does the job with no fuss. It could be a little faster and a little cheaper.

    This is an ok scanner but only for documents. It snd photos poorly. The quality of the scan is no good for anything other than basic documents. If you're scanning documents for this, it will work fine. If you intend to scan photos, find something else. Unless you don't mind pixelated, blurry or poor colored photos. I had to exchange the first one. Scanned with lines. Real pain because I scanned hundreds of pages. Before I realized it and had to redo all of them. Exchanged for a new one but honestly I rarely use now. Should have gotten a refund and purchased a different one.

    Slow scanning. Requires multiple steps to save the scanned documents. One sided only. If you’re looking for a portable scanner that will only be used to scan a few documents, then this might be worth it. Disappointed in this overall.
