Customer Ratings & Reviews

Light weight, compact and fast! Reasonable price. A great value.

received my scanner about a week ago, I was a little intimidated about setting it up, but when I opened the box I saw that it would be pretty easy as there was only 3 instructions to follow, it was very simple. All I had to do was plug it into my PC and download the drivers. In about 5 minutes I was scanning! It gives me options on where I want to save the documents. The scanned documents were very good quality. It works just as good as my large all in one, scanner, copier! It takes up no space on my already cluttered desk! I do wish the coed was a little longer though. 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..

Seems easy enough but it doesn't scan anything. Hit the button as directed and nothing happens. Returning to the store.

Didn't work had to return the item so all my review will based upon that.

I have been using this portable document scanner for a few weeks now and I am really enjoying it. It's easy to set up and I haven't had any issues. I like that it can plug right into my laptop using the USB cord that comes with the scanner. This scanner is super small and light weight but it does the job right. Setting up the software on my laptop to use this scanner took less then 10 minutes. This scanner can scan documents, business cards, and I.Ds. I have scanned all since using this scanner and it works perfectly. I am more then pleased!

This did not work on my ASUS Chrome Book Laptop and the associate advised it would. Bummed out it didn't work

it was not quite what I was looking for, wish it came with an extra port

Pros: easy to use, works well, easy installation, light-weight, portable, 600dpi quality, fast, easy-to-use software, full color scan. Cons: short cord The Epson ES-50 is really nice! It’s easy to install, use, and works well. The Epson ES-50 is really nice and it’s very easy to install. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. All you have to do is plug it into the computer, let it automatically install the drivers and then visit Epson’s website as described for downloading Drivers and Utilities. When I first visited nothing showed up and I was about to search for them, it took about 60 seconds for them to pop up. Then you just follow the instructions on the screen and it walks you through the rest of the installation. Then it checks to make sure the scanner is working, which you actually insert something to scan and then it’s finished. Finally, after that I had one more update which was firmware. This failed initially for no particular reason but I was easily able to retry and it had zero issues on the second attempt. The Epson ES-50 is easy to use. Once fully installed and you’re ready to scan on your own all you do is insert whatever you want to scan and it makes a little noise and grabs the paper, you hit the button, and it automatically scans and then pops up the scanned image to the Epson SmartScanner, which automatically comes up on the computer. Then just follow the instructions on the screen to decide if you want to make changes or if you want to save and where and what to save it to, send it, or print it out. The scanned images are really nice, they are fully colored, detailed, and a quality 600dpi. This scanner scans things extremely fast too. The unit itself is very light-weight and easily portable. The only thing I don’t like is that it has a short cord and it’s definitely not a deal-breaker. Overall, I am super happy with the EPSON ES-50. It’s easy to use, light-weight, portable, works well, scans fast, and provides a really great scan and an easy interface to follow. I would absolutely recommend it!

This scanner is surprisingly efficient. I was worried at first because if the size but it's been an amazing addition to my portable work station. It is relatively quick for its size and very clear and accurate. In my opinion, it scans as well as desktop scanner and takes up significantly less space and you can take it on the go.

This is a sturdy little portable scanner that will do the trick. The setup was very easy, as most plug and play devices. It is your basic portable single sheet scanner. No bells and whistles, but it gets the job done. When scanning a document, there's no need to open any programs on your computer. Plug it in, feed your page and you will hear and feel it catch your paper. Then hit the scan button, and it starts the feed and scans your document. The program automatically opens up and displays your document. I greatly appreciated the program has "quick links" to save to various programs. I was able to connect it to my Google Drive account and save directly into my Drive. This will definitely save time. Very easy to use. When I scanned multiple pages, I didn't need to click anything. I just scanned the first, and then the rest in the same manner, and it compiles all of the scans. Then I was able to save the one multi page document. Easy breezy. I would prefer the WiFi model, the ES-60W, as I feel that would be well worth the upgrade. This model must be plugged into your computer and ran through your PC, rather than being able to use an app. Overall I'd recommend it, but if the 60W is in your price range, the wireless functionality may be well worth the extra cost.

Very handy and easy use. It is compact, lightweight and convenient. It is a great value forth price.

Love this scanner. It is wonderful to use as your posting bills and need to have copies of them in your books.

I have had this Epson WorkForce ES-50 portable scanner for about a week now and I absolutely love it. I own a mobile tax business. So often times I am required to take copies of my customers identification card, social security cards and and tax paper work. Up until now I have simply just been using an app on my cellphone in order to scan my documents. But with the app I have so much more to do after the fact. But the Epson WorkForce ES-50 portable scanner is so awesome. This Epson portable scanner was so quick and easy to set. You receive very easy not only to read but also follow directions for set up. I really love the light and sleek design of this portable scanner. And the added benefit of this portable scanner not having to be powered by batteries allows me to appreciate this scanner even more. All in all this Epson WorkForce ES-50 portable scanner is great for the. The only thing that I would have loved to have with this portable scanner would be a carrying case. This portable scanner is a such a time saver for me.

Bottom line is that this scanner is dead simple to set up and use, which no doubts mean it's much less likely to end up collecting dust in the corner. Once you've installed the software (which takes 5 minutes tops) it's literally as simple as sticking in a document and pressing one button. The scans look good and you can save documents in multiple formats, including a PDF with searchable text. Scanning multiple pages as a single document is also dead simple, which is a huge plus. Only issue I've encountered thus far is that I scanned an instruction manual that had been folded. A few of the pages did not come out perfectly square or legible - though some did. I suppose this could have happened because of the fold or perhaps the way I loaded those pages. Either way, the results were still very usable just not as crystal clear as the other pages in the document. Something I will continue to tinker with to see if I can correct in the future. But on the whole, I'm very happy with this little wand.

The setup is quite easy, but using it is a bit more difficult. I haven't figured out how to scan one multi-page document into one file on my computer. It isn't intuitive at all. But, to be fair, it may simply be that I'm not that technologically savvy. The price is great for what it does, and it scans all of our necessary documents clearly.

The Epson WorkForce ES-50 is an excellent option for an ultra portable scanner option. The small size (can easily fit into a laptop bag or be carried around separately since it weighs just over 1/2 lb. Out of the box, the Epson ES-50 feels more durable and sturdy that other scanners I've owned. I also like that it is black since white can tend to get dirty over time--especially being handled as much as this scanner would. One thing I would've seriously appreciated is an auto document feeder or sheet holder. The ES-50 is a single sheet fed scanner so you'll be required to manually insert each page. Performance wise, the ES-50 performs well for a very compact and portable scanner. However, I would've appreciated duplex scanning capabilities and some kind of automatic document feeder--even if it could be purchased as an accessory. The scanner scans a full page at about 1 page per 5-6 seconds which is pretty slow for a scanner, but it is very small and portable so it's expected that some performance would be sacrificed. Scanning quality is good and on par with other sheet fed scanners with a 600 DPI optical w/ software enhancement up to 1,200 DPI. The ES-50 comes with Epson SmartScan software which helps you make the most of your scanner. Especially important, is the ability to scan separate pages (remember, no ADF) and combine them into one document. One of the best features of the Epson ES-50 is that it doesn't require a separate power source. Simply connect the ES-50 via the included USB and your computer provides all the power necessary. This will drain your laptop faster than usual, but shouldn't be an issue unless you have a particularly large scan job. In that case, you will probably want to have your laptop plugged in. In conclusion, I think the Epson ES-50 is a good portable scanner, but it does lack some very helpful features that I wish it included like an ADF or duplex capabilities. While you may not need duplex capability each scan, you will likely need to scan more than one page almost every scan and an ADF would be very useful. For those reasons, I can't give the ES-50 more than 3.5 out of 5 stars. Pros: *Ultra compact design *Good scan quality *Powered by USB via computer *Price Cons: *No duplex scanning *No Automatic Document Feeder

Epson WorkForce ES-50 Review The Epson WorkForce ES-50 has been an amazing addition to my productivity technology. Not only for my daily 9-5 work, but as an lightweight addition to my secondary source of income. I run a small maintenance and repair business on the side of my compliance job. This scanner not only allows me to quickly and seamlessly scan documents to my computer at my desk, but when I’m in the field I can even attach it to my laptop and scan everything from business cards to receipts and sketches. I have been amazed at how clear of a copy scan that I can get from this scanner. I hate having copies of bills and other documents laying around so this allows me to clear out all of the paper clutter.

works very well. Since I travel a lot . It works well from any mobile spot

I am really very happy with this scanner. It was easy to install and easy to figure out how to use. It comes with a usb cord so there are no extra cords or batteries required. I like that I can quickly scan in all of my important documents and get them stored electronically. It is light weight and very portable so I can use it at home and at the office. It is scans very quickly and can accomodate longer pages, as well as, ID cards and such. This is very helpful to me! My absolute favorite feature is the nuance OCR. This feature makes it so that my documents are searchable (and editable!) so I can easily find just what I am looking for.

The Workforce ES50 is an absolutely amazing little device. I needed to scan some quick documents for my son's camp and it was the easiest process I have seen in a scanner. You just load the documents and press a single button. Easy peasy. Even the software allows for quick and easy storage of documents! As a Real Estate Agent, I need to be able to take my work with me at all times. The size of the scanner allow you to stick it in your bag with your laptop and carry it everywhere. It is a simple plug in and you are ready to scan. I would absolutely recommend this useful device to anyone I come across.
