Epson Workforce ES-60W Wireless Ultra Portable A4 Document Scanner with Li-ion battery (300 page) and USB 3.0, 200-1200dpi, 4 seconds per page

If you have to do ANY accounting with paper receipts, BUY THIS SCANNER. I was honestly contemplating shutting the company down would be less hassle than doing any more scanning of paper receipts, trying to get them to flatten on the table and hold the camera in the right way so the light makes them visible, whilst in that time they scrunch back up. This thing is GENIUS. The software is Epson so if you're over 30 you know exactly what I mean (it's like 00's software and not the most intuitive) but once you get going, it's very easy. Can be used with iPhone or on your Mac/Windows (just Google ES-60W drivers and download – this thing comes with a CD-ROM LOL). The auto-feed meant I could scan receipts in one sitting doing around 100 in 15-20 mins. The desktop software is the best and I just kept scanning and scanning, with it then outputting each receipt as an individual image and plop into Free Agent (or whatever accounting software you us with receipt matching). Tip: charge it fully before using. Even plugged in it doesn't seem to love not being fully charged. With the Epson software, it auto-crops, auto contrasts and rotates the images so they're more or less perfect. The time this has saved is just beyond anything and receipts are way easier to read now than low contrast photos. Only criticism other than slightly crunchy software is that in 2025/2026 it charges and connecting using a Micro USB cable; but this is fairly typical with a lot of Japanese tech.

Picked this up for £85 on sale having decided a scanner with paper feed was much preferable to a 'wand' type which I think was the right decision. Software comes on CD but better to d/l more up-to-date from Epson, including the usual firmware update for the scanner. Scan time is just a few seconds and you can adjust resolution, set to B&W only etc. which is what I did for scanning letters. The OCR works well to create searchable PDFs, however the Epson s/w shows its age with an interface that is quite basic. Slightly annoying that the scanner uses micro-USB connection, I'd have preferred a USB-C but there's a lead in the box. I found that the scanner works OK connected to a USB hub to reduce plugging in/out to laptop. I think this would be ideal for a home user or very light office use to save having to file paperwork.

I bought this after I saw that a colleague used one: I travel frequently and need to scan lots of documents. Previously I packed a lightweight flatbed scanner, but this one is so much better. It's well built, but compact and light. Installed really easily, scans fast and loads straight into an editing program. And the editing program is so simple to use - (here's your scan - do you want to add pages - where do you want to send them?) just the controls you need and seems to default immediately to the best options. Scans by default to pdf. Haven't looked for or tried other formats. Highly recommended.

Stopped working after six months.

Some have said it's scan time is slow, not the case, a few seconds per page. I had a little trouble installing the software, but once rebooted it worked a treat. There are options to save as a PDF with password protection and once setup, you can plug this in, press a button and then continue scanning by inserting new pages. Once you're done, you press the button again and then the software asks you where to save your document. Simple, great quality, totally portable and excellent. Worth getting a case for it but it's superb!

I purchased the ES-580W and it's a lovely looking device, and smaller than I thought it would be. I’ve actually put it on the front room next to a vase as I like looking at it. I often go to court to defend my data protection rights and this process generates a lot of paperwork. I've been using the Canon imageFormula P-150 for many years but I had so many issues with double-feeds that I have to feed each page in one by one. It did a good job though. So, the main criteria for this scanner was that it needed to have the technology to prevent double-feeds. I also liked the idea of scanning directly to USB without having to use my PC. I had it up and running within minutes and I was scanning to USB. I was a bit concerned at first because it started beeping every time I pressed a button on the screen and that would have done my head in but fortunately there’s an option to set the sound to zero. I’ve also figured out how to set my user settings – 600dpi, colour, PDF, single document, duplex. When I get any post now, all I need to do is turn it on, scan the letter to USB and shred it. It took about 10 minutes to scan a 30 page document and I think it is the saving to USB process that is slows it down. It’s not an issue though for someone who is used to scanning page by page. My mission now is to scan in everything stored in my three drawer metal filing cabinet. My only niggle so far is that the touch screen is a bit sensitive and therefore, difficult to scroll. For example, when I try to scroll down the menu I often select an option by mistake. This is not a big issue though as I’ve now saved my settings.

Un appareil esthétique et peu encombrant. Son utilisation est d’une facilité élémentaire et je l’ai trouvé bien plus rapide qu’un scanner intégré à une imprimante. Il a aussi l’avantage de proposer des paramètres de « scanning » selon l’image que l’on veut obtenir. Attention lors du nettoyage de l’appareil : n’utiliser que le kit de nettoyage en « mousse » fournie avec le produit ou un kit de nettoyage prévu à cet effet et aucun autre type de carte !

Den Epson Workforce ES‑50 habe ich bereits 2020 zum ersten Mal gekauft und war damals schon sehr zufrieden. Jetzt habe ich ein weiteres Gerät bestellt, da sich der Scanner im Alltag als zuverlässig und langlebig erwiesen ht. Besonders positiv ist, dass er sich auch unter Linux problemlos verwenden lässt – ein Punkt, der für mich entscheidend war. Der Scanner ist stabil gebaut, wirkt hochwertig verarbeitet und benötigt kaum Platz auf dem Schreibtisch oder der Tasche . Trotz seiner kompakten Größe arbeitet er überraschend schnell und liefert saubere Ergebnisse. Die Produktbeschreibung passt und entspricht dem, was man erhält. Ein kleiner Schwachpunkt bleibt jedoch die USB‑Kabelverbindung. Die Buchse im Gerät wirkt etwas empfindlich, sodass man beim Einstecken und Herausziehen vorsichtig sein sollte. Funktional beeinträchtigt das den Scanner zwar nicht, aber hier hätte ich mir eine robustere Lösung gewünscht. Insgesamt ist der ES‑50 ein sehr guter, platzsparender und zuverlässiger Scanner, den ich trotz der kleinen Schwäche weiterhin empfehlen kann.

Très bon petit scanner portable, Très facile à installer et à configurer, Très bonne qualité et légère. Je recommande vivement se scanner pour les déplacements en voiture.

Mooi apparaat, werkt erg snel, zeer tevreden mee en handig voor onderweg!
