This scanner is fantastic. I have years of files in my very stuffed file cabinet that I have wanted to scan and then get rid of for a long time. I have had the traditional type scanners but the process was so time consuming that I quickly gave up. This tiny scanner that puts the files right into your computer makes all the difference. It was such a breeze to set up, just download the software, connect the USB cable, put your document in place, press a button to scan. Of course you have to set up your folders ahead of time, but once you have everything set up the scanning proceeds quickly. There are a few choices for setup (see picture).

This unit is great on the road or on the desk in front of a keyboard.
It's small and light compared to similar units by other makers. The USB port is on the right side of the scanner, which means the cable is out of the way when scanning. Long receipts are not a problem for the ES-50. Other units will error out after 14", your typical Best Buy receipt is longer. Epson's MAC scanning software is basic, but gets the job done pretty quickly. If you're looking for small and to just get it done fast, then give this wicked little wonder a shot.

The scanner saves me from headaches search for receipt to prove purchases if I need to return Items. I organize forms and it release me from all the papers thar often accumulate. It truly was a best buy.

This scanner was awesome, loved everything about it - good scan quality, super easy to use. Was happily scanning for 2 weeks until it developed a vertical line across the middle of every page. I used the included dry cleaning strip 3 times, didn't fix the problem entirely. Went onto Epson support pages which said to use a WET cleaning strip which comes with the "optional Maintenance Kit"... Then over to YouTube which showed "easy fixes" of dissembling practically the entire scanner.
Sorry, but I shouldn't need to pay for additional cleaning supplies or take the entire thing apart just to continue using a brand new product within 2 weeks of purchase! Returning to store.

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.

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.

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!).

Scans very quick - a lot faster than using the scanner on my printer or using a scan app on the phone and having to worry about bad lighting, etc.
Quality seems OK - mostly just scanning receipts and related documents.
Haven't had it too long so can't speak to the long term performance or quality but so far so good.

Great scanner, easy to use, quick startup, quality of scans are excellent. Bumped it down one star due to the software that wants to load and update constantly. Otherwise, highly recommend.
