Poor software and driver compatiblity
Terrible driver compatiblity issues with four different computers and connectivity challenges constantly. For $200 and the Epson name, I expected better. The downfall of today's equipment is the failure of the developers to thoroughly test their products before asking consumers to.

Black line with every scan
I use this with a macbook. The setup was easy for me and I love the convenience of having such a small portable scanner, but after a few months of working well it started to put a black line down every document. I can't imagine why it does this. It would be great if it weren't for that ugly black line down every single document page.

Black lines
This thing worked great the first half dozen times I used it. Now, it has a black line on everything I scan. Mind you, I am 50 years old, and not running anything but flat paper through it.

Doesn't Work With Windows 11?
I purchased this scanner several years ago and used it with my Lenovo computer that has Windows 10. I recently bought an HP all in one desktop computer that has Windows 11 and the Epson scanner doesn't work. The light comes on but that's it.

A small but mighty tool!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect, lightweight and easy to use portable scanner. It makes scanning documents when working on the road so much easier than using phone apps that leave shadows. Very easy setup and nice clean scans.

Difficult to clean
Worked well until it didn't, I ended up with a black line on my scans. Attempted to buy the wet cleaning kit but none are available. I had attempted the cleaning sheet that came with the device but that didn't help after several tries.

Not as advertized
The scanner you advertised was said to scan documents photos & others. It was not able to scan my photos from albums. I want a refund.

Great portable scanner!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic! This little product is compact and does a great job scanning products that are usually a HUGE pain when it is done in a MFD / scanner unit which tears up or rips the papers. I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone who wants a nice portable unit.

My 2nd one
I scanned between 20,000 and 25,000 documents with that one. I purchased the 2nd one because I was concerned I might have problems with it while on the road. I do investigations for the government and use this new one only g\for On-The-Road use. My at the home scanner is an ES-400 . I've had it for several years and have never had a problem with it.

Do Not Buy - JUNK
I have tried to use this scanner so many times. I even changed computers thinking that would help. I downloaded files, etc. It just does not work. I am disappointed with Epson because I thought it would be more reputable than some of the other scanners. I learned my lesson. Wasted my money! Don't waste yours.

Trash
Used it once, then didn't need it for a while. Won't feed pages. Won't connect via USB. Scanner isn't found. I have tried every USB cable at my desk and nothing works. I don't have a lot of money and am really sad I threw it away on a product that won't work.

Excellent for a small scanner
I bought this to go on my desk as there is not much room. Very compact, I can even travel with it easily. Scans very well and the program it uses is very self explanatory.
