First of all, before we get into the review, I would like to say that this is for the Epson ES-500W Wireless Duplex Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. With that noted, I would also like to mention that this is my true, completely unbiased opinion about this scanner.
With that said, I would like to start off my review by saying that I was extremely impressed with this scanner. Some of the things that I really liked about this scanner are:
-Its design and build. Some scanners are extremely clunky and cheap looking and feeling, but this one screams high-quality. Not only is it small when it's being used, but it folds up into an even smaller, sleeker looking body, which makes it perfect for any desk at the office or at home, especially if the desk isn't especially large. This is a huge plus for me.
-How easy it is to use. Although the initial setup process is relatively cumbersome (I'll get more into that later), when everything is set up it's a breeze to use. Every time I needed to scan supply lists, resource sheets, etc., all I had to do was get on my computer, open the Document Capture Pro software, slide the document into the scanner, and click "Scan." This is all thanks to its wireless connectivity. And what I love even more is it's seamless integration with third-party note-taking and cloud storage options, such as Evernote, OneDrive, and Google Drive. With a process as seamless as that, scanning important documents and saving/sending them wherever they need to be is a breeze!

While the positives drastically outweigh the negatives, there are still some to consider. Some of the things that I didn't really like about this scanner are:
-How long it takes to initially set up the software to the printer. When I first downloaded all of the software required to use the printer, it took quite a while to get through the installation process and to actually install on the computer. This was pretty frustrating, but since it's only the initial setup, it's really not a big deal in my opinion. However, what is a big deal is...
-How much software installed on your computer. I believe this is what causes the initial installation to take so long, but after it installs, you'll notice that there are now NINE new programs listed in your start menu, located in THREE folders. I get that the manuals and guides and software updaters are useful at times, but why not just include all of that within ONE program? That would make using it much easier, and it wouldn't clutter up the programs list nearly as much.

Overall, this Epson Workforce ES-500W document scanner is outstanding. With the exception of the two negatives listed, this scanner is nearly perfect. I highly recommend it for small businesses, people who work at home, or people who need to scan documents on a regular basis. You won't regret it!
