Expert review by : mfereday (gadgetspeak.com)
Unlike my usual desktop flatbed scanner, which copies single-sided documents, this next scanner can copy both sides of a document simultaneously.
The Brother DS-700D was almost one of those chicken and egg situations when I opened the packaging encasing a new scanner from Brother. There was no Set-up or Quick Start Guide in the box. Should the hardware be connected before or after the software,...
Expert review by : M. David Stone (pcmag.com)
The Brother DS-700D scanner is portable, gets power over its USB connection, and can scan both sides of a page at once.
Gets power over USB cable. Duplex scanning (both sides at once). Comes with protective sleeves for scanning easily damaged originals.
Manual feed only. Large and heavy for a portable scanner. Severe limits on scanning multiple document pages into one file.

Consumer review (argos.co.uk)
I wish I bought this sooner. Very easy to use and brilliant in terms of scanning many sheets. Time effective device.

This scanner is easy to use and is quite fast for it's size. Really handy to carry around with a laptop.
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Need to practice to get the sheets to go in straight. Smaller than full-size sheets are even trickier; smaller items (like receipts) are impossible unless you use the plastic sleeve. I noticed that the sleeve made my scans look dull and gray; this can...
* duplex scanning * small, portable, no power brick required * easy to use * works well on photos
* tricky to feed sheets in straight * using plastic sleeve reduces contrast of scan * included software can be confusing * does not auto reverse upon jam * grey scale scan quality only so-so
Consumer review (newegg.com)
This is a great little scanner. Highly recommended.
This scanner is great. We have been scanning all of our old client files (multiple pages per file). This scanner lets you start a scan, then you can work on other things while simply periodically sticking the next page in. Switching between BW,...
Does not scan semi transparent items, such as xrays.
Consumer review (tigerdirect.com)
A lot of research on other portable scanners led me to make this more expensive purchase. The operation is easy, the scan quality is good and easy. So far, I have no regrets. Indeed, it is small and portable.

I gave this a poor review because the unit did not work straight out of the box. However,
