    The scanner is fast and software easy to install. It’s small so it takes up less space and can be used to store all your important documents.

    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.

    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 So Far

    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.

    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.

    hard to get running in linux but fantasticly easy in windows. I did get it to run in my zorin 16.1 distro though. Not sure how......... but i did get it to work well. The scanner itself is easy to use and awsomely fast and great quality scans of color photos that I mainly got it for. Great price too!!

    I'm a mobile Notarty. This works terriffic! I plug it into my computer at my clients location, they sign, I scan. When done, I hot spot my computer to my phone and immediately upload docs to closing agent. It is light, small enough to fit into my computer bag, compact so doesn't take up much room on the table while working, and fast! I love it and don't know how I've gone this far without one!

    For an easy to use no fuss scan and sort just about anything including IDs and receipts to full page reports, this is the thing to have. I had one previously that I used constantly, but it was lost in a tornado. Immediately knew I wanted another to replace it. Small and compact, easy to pack when taking trips - especially for business. No waiting to get home and hope that receipt is still legible.

    Fast, Software Can be Frustrating

    The software can be a little painful to use, although that could be a Windows 11 problem. It is a very fast scanner, and I liked the price of this as opposed to some of the others that had WiFi connection options. I use a portable scanner like this quite often to save documents, and I am glad I updated to this version.
