See: more scanner reviews.
Fujitsu has reminded us once again that the ScanSnaps lead the way in sheetfeed scanners. In all honesty, there was nothing a great deal wrong with the S1500, and we suspect owners of the older device won't have sufficient reason to upgrade. However,...

The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 is a capable and reliable document scanner that is fast in scanning to searchable PDF and did well in both text recognition and business-card scanning.
Expert review by : Max Mutter (techgearlab.com)
The best model you can buy if you your scanning needs are frequent
Fast, high quality scans, easy operation
Expensive, character recognition not perfect
The is the best document scanner currently on the market. If your scanning needs include multiple documents everyday, it is well worth the high price tag.

The ScanSnap Connect app for iOS or Android doesn’t cost anything. Fujitsu did a nice job adding mobile scanning to their great desktop sheet fed scanner.
Expert review by : The Mac Observer (macobserver.com)
Incredibly fast high resolution scans with virtually no jamming. "Scan to Mobile" feature works flawlessly.
Bundled software is slightly clunky with non-standard dialogue windows and navigation.
With its amazingly fast and dependable hardware, Fujitsu’s ScanSnap iX500 has made getting organized a resolution that I’m sure I’ll be able to keep long after my New Year’s decorations have been put away. If only my other resolution were so easy to keep.

The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 includes a 1-year limited warranty, which is typical among scanners at this price point. Though a small number of users report initial defects, most never need to call on the warranty. Feedback on the quality of customer...
Fast, Scans to mobile devices or a single computer via Wi-Fi, Can scan both sides of a document in a single pass
No TWAIN or ISIS driver support
Expert review by : Dave Mitchell (crn.com.au)
Fujitsu's ScanSnap iX500 is as multitalented as desktop scanners come.
A fast desktop scanner that’s good value, extremely easy to use and includes support for wireless mobile devices.
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
So fast for scanning, I mean ridiculous fast. Duplex so each sheet is scanned both sides as it god through. Copies look amazing.
Sometimes picks up the back of a sheet that is empty because it has some writing on the front and detects it through the scanning duplex system.
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
Works with both Windows and Mac on my dual booted laptop. Very speedy duplex scanning. Good software bundle.
Nothing bad to say about this device. It is somewhat more expensive than other marques but you do tend to get what you pay for.
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
Intelligent scanning - double side where required as well as B & W or colour
Nothing!
