Five Star Reviews: | 50% I love the small size September 24, 2017 Use this every week approximately once a week. Have been using this for over a year and it has worked flawlessly. I love the small size. I just leave it in my drawer and pull it out when I need to scan something. No large scanner taking up my desktop space. It can do mult-page PDFs as well. Nice and simple and works well with Windows 10 what more can you ask for. Works with the USB-C MacBook Pro with Touchbar September 17, 2017 This works with the Late-2016 MacBook Pro with Touchbar (USB-C) with the Apple branded USB-A to USB-C converter. The software could be better (you have to move the mouse in order for it to understand that it's done scanning), and choosing file location for each scan could be easier but the price is right and it works fine. had issues setting this up and Epson customer service was not great help. I suggest you immediately upgrade the software ... September 11, 2017 This scanner has kept me clutter free. I use it almost daily. While the Epson software does not upload directly to the cloud on Mac, if you use the third party software that comes with it you can do so. I, however, had issues setting this up and Epson customer service was not great help. I suggest you immediately upgrade the software after you install it. FANTASTIC little scanner! August 15, 2017 Worked fantastic! Saved me when I needed to get loan documents from a new client that didn't have the technology! Worked GREAT. Small enough to go ANYWHERE. Quality enough to work great and be reliable. Awesome Tax Doc Tool Must Have March 25, 2017 used it to scan in all tax documents. No more files! Easy, convenient, tucks away, and it was great for the purpose. Love it. Told my friends that are meeting planners, they should always have one on hand! Nothing but good things to say! February 24, 2016 Love this item. I bought 1 for the company I work for, and within a week bought 3 more! everyone loves them! They are practically silent, and so compact you can store anywhere.I will say this- the first one we bought wasn't scanning correctly. It would only scan/feed one out of every 8 pages. I sent a message to the vendor via amazon, they sent a no charge replace mt within 2 days it was in my hands! All others that we've bought ar ready to plug and play right from the box.If you have an issue, contact Amazon, they will help. If you are worried about the warranty, buy the extended 2 year warranty for $7 bucks. No brain-er | 100% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 18% Does much better for documents than pictures February 23, 2017 Does much better for documents than pictures. There always seems to be at least one linear artifact somewhere on every photo I scan, but I'm able to fix those blemishes with photograph software. Still, much faster than a flatbed scanner this is great for my purposes - scanning handwritten notes from daily ... September 24, 2016 While I wouldn't necessarily call it portable (you have to have it connected to your computer via USB), this is great for my purposes - scanning handwritten notes from daily classes so that I have digital copies without having to take all my notes on a computer.It does have some minor issues:- There isn't a good paper feed mechanism, so it's not uncommon for the paper to be slightly skew, which can cause the edges to get cut off,- It seems to lack sensitivity to the yellow highlighter I use, so that will often not show up on scanned documents.This is not an issue with the product, but just as a general note for people:- I'd used gel highlighters on one document I scanned, and it smeared onto the scanner lens, which was rather difficult to get clean (I managed it by putting a couple index cards through).Overall, I'm happy with this product, especially for the amount I paid for it. It's got good resolution and is small enough that I can keep it in my desk drawer when I'm not using it, so it doesn't eat into my workspace. First one did not work but good, fast customer service and the replacement works well. February 14, 2015 I purchased this portable scanner for home and for travelling for work. The first scanner I received worked for scanning black and white but when scanning color documents the resulting scan image had a bunch of multicolored lines across it. I called Epson customer service and they were very good and sent me a new scanner that is working great so far. Please note that if a similar issue occurs with your scanner they only sent me a replacement scanner and not the accessories such as the USB cable, software CD and calibration sheet- so you will want to hold onto that stuff to use with the replacement scanner. I would have given fewer stars for having to take the time to get a replacement since time I have to devote to such things is very limited but the customer service was very good. Does the job and Installed easily on Windows 7 and seems to work just fine. September 16, 2014 Does the job and Installed easily on Windows 7 and seems to work just fine. I needed to scan contracts and NDA into PDF which it does just fine. There is a little more loss of quality in the scan that I would have expected but it is still good enough for my purposes. Once the software was installed I simply plugged the unit into the USB hub and after the green light lit-up I inserted the sheet and pressed the button next to the light. A dialog box popped up and it started scanning the first page. To scan the next page simply say yes when the dialog pops up again. When it is done it creates a pdf file in "my documents".The only thing I didn't like is that the dialog doesn't remember where you put it the last time so it pops up under my context menu every time. The other thing is that once one page finishes it should just scan the next page if there is one present or if you insert another within 10 seconds. It is a little awkward to reach over to the screen and answer yes for every page. Poor ergonomics as it is but this can be fixed with a software patch. Very nice, compact, well-built page scanner June 26, 2014 I need a scanner for those infuriating times when someone insists on sending me a PDF of a form which I'm supposed to print out, sign, scan the signed copy and email it to them. (DocuSign, people. DocuSign! Particularly when it's just a stoopid rider on an insurance policy.) This little guy -- equipped with drivers up to Windows 8.1, thank you very much Epson -- just needs USB for data and power and integrates seamlessly with Control Panel for scans. (Epson has software you can install to make it snazzier but I value compatibility over extra doodads so I was happy to see that you could use it in either manner.) It also does a nice job with 30 year-old Polaroids, an unexpected benefit. It does NOT scan negatives which is sad but honestly I had NO expectation that it would.In terms of other pluses, it's not made by HP, the dirtbags that refuse to write drivers for my perfectly good HP sheet feeder flatbed scanner -- too old. It has a nice little velvet-y sleeve case with enough space for it and its cable.Just so no one's disappointed, this does not work stand-alone -- you can't just carry it around, scan stuff and hold the images on some kind of onboard RAM for later download. (Nor do they CLAIM that it does this. I only include that bit of trivia because I see a bunch of folks posting reviews on this and other scanners and giving them lousy reviews for that -- unfairly IMHO.)I hope this review helps someone and I REALLY hope the need for this sort of device goes away very, very soon! Works like a charm on both Windows and Mac platforms February 9, 2014 I got this for a portable work scanner and I am nothing shocked at how good this product is. No, you can't do super-duper high resolution scanning of photographs, but that is not what this is about. It is light. Powers through the USB cord. Scans in color, black/white or gray scale. And, it does a perfectly fine job for an on the road scanner. And, the lovely velour travel pouch is a bonus! I have had no problems using it or installing the necessary drivers/software. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 11% Good for occasional scans but not good for heavy scanning ... September 16, 2017 Good for occasional scans but not good for heavy scanning jobs. Bought it so I can scan documents while on remote job work sites. Worked great for the first few times but then quality of scan diminished. Not good enough for what I need April 8, 2017 Its very portable but the image quality isn't great. I thought I had the wrong setting or something because I still cant get good quality unless you put a blank white sheet behind it but even then its still not great. Its also REALLY hard to get it to load in straight since it doesnt have a feed area deep enough. If you just want to scan receipts or something simple and black and white it would be ok Works fine as a scanner, but to slow to compete with an iPhone camera September 19, 2016 I bought this scanner to rapidly digitize a large number of survey documents. Unfortunately, this machine is too slow to scan anything more than a single page without getting frustrated. It takes about 30 seconds for the machine to read just one side of a document, process it, and then load the next page, even if you fiddle around with the quality settings. That simply isn't fast enough to scan documents unless you have a terrific amount of patience. My advice is to just use a scanning app on a smartphone to digitize your documents. The quality may not be quite as good as a real scanner, but this gets your scanning done FAST, as your progress is only limited by how fast you can turn pages and hit the shutter button. Great for paper, not for photos April 8, 2016 This would be great if all you have to scan are papers. I tried using it to scan a photo, which resulted in a ruined photo. It starts to feed them askew and then jams. I would rate it higher if it worked for photos. Great at first... January 18, 2015 This scanner works great until you've scanned a few hundred pictures. I keep getting lines in the middle of my pictures now. I contacted the customer service for Epson and they told me to clean it and calibrate it, but the lines still did not go away. They sent me a new one but told me to clean it with the cleaning kit it came with in between batches of pictures so the dust doesn't build up - they said that might be what caused the lines. I've been doing that in between every 50 pictures or so since I got it, and calibrating it every few hundred. I'm at 1,800 pictures scanned so far, which I know is a lot, but now I can't get the line to go away again. I've had this for less than a year, and I'm disappointed that it is not holding up better. Not steller, but not bad. The software is kind of weak sauce. December 10, 2013 The software it comes with is kind of junky, but I didn't want to pay the higher price fro the Neat scanner so I settled. I ended up using the OSX imaging app and it's been working well for me. I scan multipage documents and need to make them one PDF. I have a lot of trouble getting this thing to scan straight, I thought I read somewhere it was supposed to correct that. Either way, it does just an ok job with my legal docs. I've started using it to scan all my receipts... those surprisingly do get scanned straight almost every time. Go figure. Maybe it's the user. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 6% It stopped working 1year and 25 days after I purchased ... August 2, 2017 It stopped working 1year and 25 days after I purchased it. Just 25 days after it was no longer under warranty. Also it is very slow when scanning. But oh well. should have purchased the extended warranty. Low Quality Results :( June 1, 2017 Oh my goodness, so disappointing! Anything I tried to scan would always get stuck, and it took about 4-6 tries before I would get a usable image. I suspect this product would be great for documents and receipts (items that don't need great quality scans). The storage pouch was a nice addition, and the packaging was good. Pretty straightforward instruction on how to use.... but ultimately it doesn't produce a quality I am happy with so sending it back! Too slow. February 12, 2017 Horrible. Slower than molasses. No multipage feeding. Everything is one slow page at a time. I am not sure the purpose of this when the Es-200 is out there that i got for double the price -- elsewhere of course. Works on Windows 10. Won't send the scanned document to the printer. February 2, 2017 The Epson software will only print to an Epson printer. The software ignores all other printers you might have in windows. The software saves to a file OK.Here is the response from Epson tech support:Document Capture Pro feature to print only works with Epson Printers. Your feedback will be provided to our coders. Sorry it does not support other printers.Thank youLeo O.Epson ACSThis is my first and last epson product. Didn't like, would not accept paper to scan after repeated ... December 6, 2016 Didn't like, would not accept paper to scan after repeated attemptsRETURNED FOR REFUNDWAS ABLED TO USE LAPTOP TO SCAN WHICH WAS EASIER I really wanted to like this scanner August 10, 2016 I really wanted to like this scanner, since Epson has been around a long time and made quality printers over the years. Mechanically, the scanner worked just fine, but that's where the the positive in this products ends. The software installation in the Mac was well, weird. All these different installations for different programs Why not just on install package. After the setup, run the calibration page. Scanned a document and saved to PDF. Multi colored vertical stripes appears on the PDF file. Tried it again, and the same thing. Calibrated again, nope. Installed on another computer, same thing. Saved the file to a JPG, seemed okay then, but I wanted this to work for saving PDF's. Scanned a photo, and the quality was very poor. Contacted Epson customer service and they were little help-so, back to Amazon it went. Maybe I just bought a lemon! Got the Fujitsu Scansnap S1100I, it's perfect. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

One Star Reviews: | 15% Garbage on Windows 10 May 15, 2017 Such garbage. On Windows 10 laptop. Had to reinstall software a few times. Plug it in and unplug it several times. Eventually it would work. Next time I used it, same drill of unplugging it until it decides to work. Yes I found latest software online NOW I lightly drop it on the ground the other day and it has been rendered completely useless, will not turn on at all. So pissed! How can I return this thing after I threw away all of its packaging? it is too expensive to just let this go... 2 Dead. Enough Said. April 18, 2017 1st one died within a month, 2nd one arrived dead. This product clearly has manufacturing problems. They arrive broken or break within weeks. Good luck! I suggest you look elsewhere. Looking for a replacement. April 17, 2017 Software seems old, kept getting more unreliable finally into the trash. Looking for a replacement Worked great when I bought it a year ago but it ... December 8, 2016 Worked great when I bought it a year ago but it has worked intermittently over the last 5 months and now it won't work at all. It connects great and the software knows it's there but when you try to scan you hear a slight buzzing noise like it's trying to move the rollers but it doesn't pull the doc through. Doesn't matter if it's a thin receipt or regular letter paper. Very frustrating as it is the perfect size for travel. Obviously not very robust. Don't know if this is an Epson problem or if all small scanners like this don't actually travel well, either way very disappointed as I desperately need a small, lightweight, portable scanner that works every time, all the time. Will definitely not buy another Epson. beware April 17, 2016 First off I understand I bought a refurbished product but at the same time I paid a pretty penny for it I used it once and it worked great about a month ago then today I try to scan some papers and it jams everyone and shows no pic on the computer reinstalled the drivers thinking that would help and nothing. Go to my orders and I can't return it because my thirty days was up a week ago so my advice don't buy refurbished spend the extra money and get a better warranty thanks epson for a s***ty product OK. I got this PD feeder on June 16 ... July 25, 2015 OK. I got this PD feeder on June 16, 2015. We are moving to South America in Sept/Oct. I wanted to have an option to have a friend send important docs to us thru the cloud. Tried the DS-30 once on arrival - it seemed to do what it says it would. I put it away b/c there are many other priorities. On July 23 I really tried to get this puppy tuned up with my, and my friends, 'forwarder's' cloud. The DS-30 crapped out and failed to work. No green (power) light. NADA. I re-installed the software - NADA. Checked Amazon return, guess what, I had missed the 30 return by a couple of days. And I was going to buy 2 units in order to swap docs back 'n' forth. Guess this is why we love/hate Chinese production... It might be a glitch, but for me, I'm out $85.00 on Prime. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
