    Did not want to spend a lot of money on a scanner that would not be used frequently, so the cost appealed to me. It does scan but only after several attempts. I mean several attempts! That is so frustrating! Thus the 3 stars!

    I purchased this item as a Christmas gift to someone. Now the scanner will not connect to the internet. This gift has not worked correctly since it was received. And now I find out it is to late to return or exchange the gift because the 14 days has passed days. So irritated with this product.

    I loved this scanner at first. I've had for 6 months and for the past 2 months I keep getting lines through every page I scanned. I bought the kit to clean it and it helped for a week and now there are 2 annoying lines through every page.

    Great Little Scanner

    The ES-50 is a small portable document scanner that works quite well in turning documents into searchable PDF files. It is possibly the lightest portable scanner on the market. The ES-50 is easy to use, single-sheet-feed scanning is fast, and optical scan resolution is 600dpi. It is versatile in that not only can you feed documents up to 8.5” x 72,” you can feed business cards, receipts, and the like. Download the applicable software for either Windows or Mac devices, plug in the USB cable to your computer, and it’s ready to go. There is a lot to like about the ES-50, but it isn’t perfect. While the scanner is portable based on size and weight, it must be USB cable connected to your computer for it to operate. No Wi-Fi! If a wireless connection is not needed or desired, this one is for you. If it is important to “cut the cord,” get the ES-50’s big brother, the ES-60W. Either way, you can’t go wrong with Epson. Judging the ES-50 totally on its own merits (lack of Wi-Fi not being held against it), I do recommend it for the ease of operation and the quality output.

    Doesn't work most of the time. Some of the problem might be procedural, because I got it to work at the Geek Squad, but I'm not sure that is the whole issue.
