    This epson scanner is easy to use and so far been reliable. Although sometimes it has to be held in position and allow page to feed through the scanner. Some pictures will not feed rightn probably due to the type gloss paper.

    Bought this product because I need a scanner for my home. It works seamlessly. There is an issue when you are typing the title it may jump back to a previous title, the work around for me was I finished typing then press the space bar. Not sure if it’s a software or my laptop that cause that but no biggie. Huge fan of epson products since forever and this machine doesn’t disappoint.

    Plug in and it worked. Simple enough. Dropped connection a couple of times, and corrected by rebooting computer. Scan quality is fine for most docs. Not for production work. Good for back up, occasional use, and portability. Pricey.

    Super easy to use and very fast! For the size and the price I didn’t expect much but thought if it did the job then it would be worth it. I scanned approximately 200 pages in less than half an hour. Awesome little tool. Very impressed!

    This has been great for scanning all my tax documents. So much faster than a normal scanner. The small size is great for storing when I don't need it.

    I was having coffee trouble connecting the scanner to my Windows 11. I called the service center where they easily helped me with my issue. I didn't expect it to be so easy. The scanner is working as I hoped.

    Easy to set up and gave good results. I was going to buy a small printer for copying documents to use with my laser printer, this takes up less space on my desk and is more cost effective.

    Mostly good, a little bad

    Pros: Compact, USB powered, fast, many output formats. The Cons: The software occasionally crashes, the software conflicts with other programs, the software requires too many steps to save a document. The scanner hardware could be better designed. A more funneled shaped feed would make paper insertion easier. The output side could be shortened so that the paper always drops to the table instead of sometimes remaining in the feed slot. The feed mechanism could more evenly align and advance the paper. In summary, this device is great for scanning a few pages now and then, but just a little too unpolished for production oriented work.

    I purchased this one to replace an older Epson scanner that I lost in a fire. This one has the same features, plus is full color, much lighter weight and is easy to set up to your wi-fi and computer.

    My fax/copy/scanner broke down. Since I mainly just use a scanner these days, I decided to focus on buying a scanner. It works perfectly for my needs. It also obviously has a small footprint saving space on my desk and is a great travel scanner.
