  1. TharpDentalLTD

    I bought this product several months ago, and was in need of a second scanner for a different computer. Had no doubts that I wanted to go with the same product. It’s quick and great for scanning every time a new patient comes in!

  2. Scot

    Excellent tabletop scanner, Scans quickly and clearly

  3. nickname

    Returned.
    Not wireless.
    Needs cable for PC connecting.

  4. Arris

    I purchased this scanner as an upgrade to the previous mobile scanner I purchased a few months ago.
    *I will say, if you have it have had a Previous Brother Scanner, you’ll have to update and remove the previous device Before this will work.
    Set up was reasonably simple. After I synced this device with my laptop, I scanned a sample doc, and this was Super Fast. One thing I Will mention – there is Nothing along the bottom to hold outcoming papers upon passing through the scanner, you must have it on a table, or have your hand ready to catch them as they pass through.
    Also, make sure Everything scans. At times, pages will pass through together and you’ll have to run the ones it missed again…
    One great advantage, it has a 20-page capacity automatic doc feeder and you can add pages/docs in 20-page increments to your scans. This is great considering my need to scan large packages, sometimes, 100 pages or more, at a time.
    One small con: counting pages into 20-page increments to feed so you don’t miss any pages to be scanned.
    All in all, it’s a good, economical, Portable device that works well for me as a Signing Agent and Mobile Notary.

  5. WendyFTW

    Great machine!
    Easy to setup and quick to scan.
    Makes great scans and would highly recommend.

  6. Badbadbadbad

    Don’t buy this scanner. The only benefit of its “portability” is so that you can scream at it in other locations away from your home office.

    It jams consistently after 4-5 pages, and doesn’t have a paper catch tray, so you’ll never be able to scan more than 1-2 pages at a time. When it jams, the program requires you to unplug and plug back in. The rollers feed paper in diagonally.. so you look like a scrub if you plan to send any professional documents with black and blurry edges.

    Better off getting a ScanSnap or just using an app on your phone. Both are better quality, equally portable, have better connectivity options and design.

  7. Nita

    Easy to set up. Small space needed works great used for small home office scanning daily.

  8. Papabear55

    Really impressed with this scanner. small and compact. drive is easily downloaded, the scans are quick and smooth , also has a card scanner built in that works really well. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a compact affordable scanner for there home office. I have scanned a lot of sheets and it only jammed once, and that is because I left the staple in the paper(operator error), have had no other issues than that.

  9. jasonmpt

    Works great, easy to hook up. Have had for a month now with no problems

  10. BTF75

    Great for medical record scanning. Very easy to set up and use too.

  11. Rhondav

    I love this little printer! I take it with me when I have to go in to work. It is easy to use and very light weight. I love the program interface as it is easy to understand and manage. You can program it to save all your scanned documents to google drive! yay

  12. Player

    Very easy to use, great value. Perfect side fits anywhere

  13. Firehouse

    This product works perfectly. We purchased for one of our county commissioners to be able to travel and work!

  14. MiKi

    Super super fast scanner. I can scan 110 pound weight index paper with ease. My previous scanner had a roller that wasn’t as sensitive to paper that was bundled together. This takes care of that problem and helps me enjoy scanning just a little bit more.

  15. GamersMom

    I wasn’t very confident when purchased this. My office had a need for a small but dependable scanner. Boy was I wrong!!

  16. Megan

    This scanner is the best!! Super fast, scans double sided pages and easily saves as PDF. This scanner also easily folds and is great for small spaces.

  17. Superfly

    Way too overpriced. Functionality is OK but does not come with any software. Interface is easy for Tech savvy people But others might find it difficult to download software and use

  18. EmmyLou

    I bought the scanner so I could make a copy front and back of my grandmothers recipes. The quality is way better than I could’ve ever hoped for. The recipe card is so crystal clear, I can even see all the tiny specs of food left on the original from my grandma using them to make the dishes of my childhood. One of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time. I’ve now started Scanning all of my pictures so that I’ve got a digital copy and the replication is perfect

  19. annewithane

    This machine doea exavtly what i bot it for. I am sure it has lots of features i haven’t figured out, but i am very happy with it.

  20. Fifo

    This is a compact and very efficient scanner. I use it often for my home office and it has many options including saving scans as compact pdf. I highly recommend it.

  21. Cable

    Wonderful scanner – so easy to use and it is fast and can do a scan of both front and back at the same time Just what I needed to eliminate excess paper.

  22. Edie

    Good for its price. It is light , compact , easy to use.

  23. bandolierbabe

    Needed a replacement for my neat receipt scanner. This was a perfect replacement and worked fine with neat receipts

  24. PJLawman

    Works great for my law school assignments. Is not large and bulky like other models.

  25. John

    It works as described; scan double-sided save a lot of time.

  26. Wonderful

    Delivery meet the timeline which was quite important since this purchase was a Christmas gift for my husband and he truly and amazingly LOVED it

  27. Bomber

    Great little scanner. Everything you need and even scans cards.

  28. JenM

    Fast scanning with easy set up! Great for work at home if you need a fast scanner that can process quickly!

  29. crc9901

    Great product! scans documents very fast and clean!

  30. pkbp

    Nice compact scanner performs as stated the software is not as good as expected but will accomplish the task.

  31. Mad9Scientist

    Good Scan Quality, Fast, No Computer Necessary, and no monthly cost.

    This is good little document scanner for converting paper records to digital PDFs. I like that I can plug a USB flash drive in the back and just scan away – straight into a PDF document – all without a computer connected.
    The quality of the scan is great for documents, but is okay for photos/graphics, but this isn’t created for that work flow.
    The included software PaperPort is an older version, but still works if you want to use it. Either way you will not need to pay for a subscription fee to store your documents – because you are scanning the files to your computer (via the software) or a flash drive.

  32. TRAVEL2021

    Useful and easy to use , user friendly and good pricing

  33. Scanner

    Just what i wanted.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  34. SAMSUNGTVGRANDMA

    Excellent services, good and friendly product for daily basis

  35. GOODWORKINGPRODUCT

    Amazing scanner! Numerous page load capability and compact. Fast scan speed and yes, it is double sided. This saved my file space as I now have a paperless office.

  36. Saallie

    I have the smaller version which works well. What I like about this one is the ease of it’s useage, multiply documents can be fed simultaneously. I have already referred a couple of colleagues to checkmit out.

  37. Xans

    so easy to use and gives clear scans every time! Also barely takes up any space at all.

  38. Sondra

    Oh really really wished it would’ve worked. Not only did the software never finish a adequately loading, but the feed will take two sheets at a time especially at the beginning. I returned it, disappointed that it would never actually upload the scanned documents

  39. Vhahn

    Love this little guy. Compact, quiet, and makes clear scans.

  40. HappyMicrowaveUser

    The features I was looking for (duplex and download to a memory stick) were great. However, I was hoping to be able to scan duplex or one side without having to connect the scanner to my computer. It scans very fast and is super portable.

  41. JeffS

    On Mac Ventura OS, the scanner doesn’t work so well. 1. Installed the ICA driver. Scanned two 1 page documents & had to uninstall and reinstall because the scanner wasn’t recognized. Scanned another 2 documents. Scanner reported an error. Rebooted Mac, unplug scanner. Decided to install TWAIN driver. Works better, but the scanner does get “lost”. In about 30 documents, have had to reboot Mac and power off/unplug usb connection.
    2. Usability – I don’t like the UI. It should have the capability to write new file names vs appending.
    3. In a 17 page document it scanned a few pages and then had a glitch and grabbed several pages so I had to rescan.
    4. In a 3 page duplex doc, one of the 3 pages didn’t feed correctly and got kiddy wompus.
    5. I will say the scans are nice.

  42. DebM

    Awesome little scanner! Highly recommend it for home office use!

  43. KBR1

    This product is great for on the go and in the office. Enjoy the compact size.

  44. DontTaseMeBro

    Terrible. It scans the paper last page first and if your doing double sided, you have it place it in a specific order for it to scan the pages correctly. Your much better off spending more for a scanner that doesn’t require this ridiculous process to just scan.

  45. Shelby

    I love how easy this is to use and convenient it is to take with me when I am working on the go.

  46. MonicaK

    This little scanner is big business in a small package ! Compact , easy to use and a great product !

  47. SontheScurvy

    It works okay. My main complaint (and the reason for the 4 stars only) is that it constantly grabs two sheets at a time. The mechanism for picking up individual sheets could be better. The machine appears to have compromised footprint size for complexity of design and the simple design can’t pick up individual sheets.

  48. CarolM

    The one problem I have with this had is the set up I haven’t been able to do it wirlessly

  49. LucindoS

    No Manual provided for set-up or use, making the process for set-up and use frustrating.

  50. Shokz

    Works great. Nice and compact so saves space anywhere you want to use it
