I've been using this scanner for several months now just for home use and I am extremely satisfied with its performance. The scanning is very quick and the software it comes with makes my scanning very efficient. I would recommend this scanner to anyone.
Don't understand why I have to re-install software EVERY TIME I use it. WHEN it works, it's great... when it works, but this time, I turned it on and it did not duplex the scan, and when I tried to use again, I got the same "Unable to communicate with the scanner. Make sure the scanner is connected to the computer and turned on. Do you want to check the connection settings?" When it already is connected. I unplug, re-start, shut down, uninstall, re-install, and this time, it will not scan AT ALL!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'm pretty loyal to Epson products when it comes to printing and scanning. I could not be happier with this wonderful scanner. I have used it frequently while trying to refi my home. I was using a scanning app, awful! My printer scans, but not multiple pages. This item was so easy to set up and is very compact. Love it!
This is a very nice machine, especially at this price point. The only downside is that you can't "quickly" scan to pdf. There a lot more steps involved than I would have preferred. With my old Neat scanner I just pressed one button and it was direct to pdf. This takes more steps. Other than that, I think it is a great scanner.
I would recommend this to a friend!
