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.”
