[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I am very pleased with this scanner! It is convenient to use. I plug into a USB port and it produces very clear images quickly. My only disappointment is that I don`t know how to make 1 document for several pages to scan. It does take pages up to 30 seconds after feeding, but they come out as separate pdf`s. It also help me make copies. I`ve used this product everyday with ease not only for my home business but for my child`s school work! Very easy to put together and use. Highly recommend!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this Scanner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This scanner is so easy to use! It`s quick, easy and compact. It was a breeze to set up, it whipped through a stack of paper in no time and my pages were double sided! It was extremely efficient and it didn`t jam. The scans are also crystal clear, great quality. I was seriously impressed! Not to mention I didn`t have to install any software. It`s also wireless which makes it even better! This scanner is perfect for the busy professional on the go, lightweight, and easily portable. I`d recommend it to anyone!

Great Scanner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This scanner arrived in a larger than expected box, so I was expecting it to be large upon opening it. To my surprise, this scanner is the perfect size and is easy to fit among my other office equipment and the limited space I have available. Set up and actual use of the product was fairly easy and uncomplicated. I prefer the wireless option for scanning as its easier for me and makes for less cords among everything else on my desk. I was pleasantly surprised by this product and will definitely recommend it to my small business owner friends and acquaintances.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. The Brother Wireless Compact Scanner works very nicely with my home business! It has an easy set up via wireless or USB connections & I had it up and running in no time. I like that I don`t need to feed it a single page at a time but can give it up to 20 pages at once. It takes up very little space on my desk. It runs quietly & effortlessly, I enjoyed adding it to my business tools that I need and found nothing I didn`t like about this product.

Great compact, high speed scanner with Wi-Fi

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. Upon opening the box, I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the scanner. It`s slightly larger than a laminating machine. I started reading the quick setup guide that came with the scanner and the instructions seemed straightforward. Setting everything up was quick and easy until I got to the Wi-Fi set up. After trying several times, I had to ask my techie husband to give it a try. He also had a hard time getting the Wi-Fi going. I finally had to download the manual from the Brother website and thanks to the picture, we were able to get the Wi-Fi set up. They really should have put the picture in the quick setup guide that came with the scanner. The scanner itself is very compact and as a result some parts may seem flimsy. The paper guides felt flimsy and a little awkward to adjust when feeding different size pages but it isn`t a deal breaker. The actual scanner itself feels well constructed.After we finished setting up the scanner, I downloaded the Brother iPrint & Scan app on my iPhone X and Macbook and started scanning anything I could find. This little scanner was really fast compared to my current scanner and I was quite impressed with the scan that popped up once it finished. The image looked exactly like the original and the color scans were more like photos. It was definitely an upgrade from my current one. Next I scanned a stack of papers and they zipped in and out with lightning speed. The stack was a little wrinkled so the resulting scan had a few crooked images but still very clear. My final test was the card slot. I put in a credit card and again the image was crisp and clear and the scanner did not eat my card. Final thoughts. The Brother ADS-1250W is a great little scanner once you get past the Wi-Fi setup. I love how quickly it produces clear scans and I can even scan double-sided documents with one pass. My current scanner takes awhile to scan each document and since it`s a flatbed type, I have to scan each page one by one. The Brother cuts the time down drastically because you can feed up to 20 pages at a time. Overall, I`ve only had it for a short time but I`m very impressed with the size and quality of this scanner. I may just have to pack up the old one to make room for this newer one.

Sleek scam

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I have tried the ADS-1250W scanner and I have found the device to be lightweight, sleek and portable. Although it took me a few minutes to set up the device it does come with a detailed manual with instructions describing the connection procedure. I have found the device an efficient way to scan and assist in sorting of documents which helps me reduce the amount of paper I keep at the house. I particularly like that it does not take up a lot of space.

Compact document scanner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. The Brother ADS-1250W document scanner is a well made product that feels sturdier than it first looks. The scanning process for a sheet is very quick and the software to work it is pretty intuitive and easy to use. You do have to download the software from Brother`s support site. In addition to the ability to scan in documents the scanner has a setting to scan "IDs". This can be used for identification cards like drivers licenses or for business cards. Both sides of the card are scanned so there is no cumbersome flipping and re-scanning. The only documentation that was provided in the package was a quick setup guide, so you also have to download from the Brother site the user manual.The quality of the scans were very good and actually a little better than I had expected them to be. The fact that there are several options of how to operate the scanner (via wifi to mobile device, connected via usb to computer, direct to usb drive) makes this a very versatile solution.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This scanner is lightweight and very easy to use. It scans up to 20 pages quickly and very accurately. I am impressed with the quality of the scanned documents. I love that it scans two sides at once. The software setup was easier than expected. We are using it to scan receipts, invoices, and tax documents. This has been a great addition to our home-based business and has made life easier with less paper clutter!
