    Very handy device that seems to work pretty well and occupies very little desktop space. The key thing seems to be to make sure there is a good, straight, clean edge on the left side of the sheet before starting it through the machine (or insert it backwards if the good edge is on the right side, flipping it later in Adobe). Then it makes a very good copy. On the other hand, if the left edge is not clean and straight, the sheet is likely to wobble going through the scanner and the image gets some distortions. Easy thing to do.

    Great portable scanner for scanning documents rather quickly. Easy to use and software is pretty easy to work with. Install is easier than some other scanners I have worked with. Literally takes up no space and when unplugged, I just store in the desk

    There is a minor learning curve on how to use the software and proper way to scan, but it took me 2-3 tries without reading anything to figure it out. Outside of that, it was a perfect small-form scanner for home use.

    I was really impressed at how easy this scanner was to set up and at how little space it needed to operate. With the simplistic connectivity, I was up and running (or scanning I should say) in no time. Although the USB cable is universal for the majority of electronics, I had to purchase a USB to USB-C adapter because my laptop only accommodates the new USB-C cables. That wasn't an issue, just extra money I would have rather not had to spend. Still 5 star rating, though.

    For what it does it seems a little pricey that is the reason for only 4 stars. At this price point, I would expect a wireless machine, but they offer that for more money, so I am satisfied for the most part. The ease of use is great if you need to process a lot of receipts which is why I bought this scanner. I will process up to 40 receipts at a time and this machine does a great job of doing that.

    The set up was a little difficult at first but once you have it set up and everything, it is extremely easy to use. I needed this because I’m not always near a stationary scanner and I’m on the go a lot. If only they can make a small printer like this so that I can print on the go if need be.

    amazing!!! super fast and easy to use, and super portable. the free software makes it easy to save searchable pdf documents. the software also has brightness and contrast adjustments to endure that everything can be scanned (including light pencil and photos). I am scanning a ton of old school notes so I wish it could scan double sided but for the money I still find this worth it (I’ll only be scanning photos in the future so the functionality is still great!).

    Very impressed with the ease of use and love how compact and light weight it is. Its perfect for my mobile office needs. You do sacrifice some functionailty as compared to a full size or more expensive device (such as double sided scanning, which is not automatic) but the value for money is on point.

    I needed a scanner that could handle letter-size paper, but also receipts well. This has been great because it can scan in long receipts in one go. On a typical flatbed scanner, a long receipt would take at least 2 scans. I also like that this doesn't take up much space, which is always at a premium. I would consider spending the little bit extra it costs to get the wireless version. It didn't make sense for my particular application, but I can see that definitely being worth the money.

    The Epson ES-50 model is perfect for me. It's small enough to set aside when not in use, yet does the job when needed. I'm running a Brother printer that is black and white printing only and it has no scanner. I really have no need for scanning anything of color so the Epson-ES-50 is perfect for me. Have had it for awhile now and it works great and has some nice options. If you just need a basic document scanner then this one will be a great choice.
