50% of the reviews on Amazon.com give this product a positive rating.

Compact, big screen with a good UI, can scan directly to major cloud services, includes Abbyy OCR software

Convoluted initial set-up, no Ethernet cable included, very light colours aren't detected

Duplexer (for two-sided scanning). Ethernet port. Scans directly to a network PC, a USB memory key, and assorted cloud sites. Scans through a Wi-Fi access point to mobile devices.

Hard to start using, due to a lack of instructions.

Conclusion If you don't need a scanner you can connect to a network, be sure to consider the Canon DR-C225. Alternatively, if you need a network scanner to connect by Wi-Fi, take a close look at the Canon imageFormula DR-C225W , which is essentially...

Touch screen interface is really easy to use. Can preview scans on the screen and edit/rescan pages if necessary before saving. Scans feed reliably and quickly (some online reviews complain that the scanner has a slow pages per minute but it seems fine...

Slow startup after switching on (though it does have a low power sleep mode that wakes up quickly if you don't mind leaving it on all the time) Sometimes the touch screen can be unresponsive and interface pauses for a second or two.

This scanner scans documents (one or two sided in single-pass) without issue, is small and compact, and looks nice

It won't write to the FTP server on my Seagate NAS (claims there's no write permissions, which isn't true) ; If you know what you're doing, this scanner can also wreak havoc on network security (see other thoughts)

It's scans to FTP just fine. Hasn't failed once.

However, it doesn't always scan to a computer. It randomly won't find the eScan clients installed on our computers. We have to exit the clients on all computers, turn off the scanner, then restart the client software on all computers, then turn the...

Simple, easy to use network scanner ; Scan quality is acceptable for documents ; No jams doing various household scans jobs. No more than like 16 pages, but some were folded in an envelope ; Android 4.2.2 with a fully functional usb port. I tried...

Scan speed in color is kinda slow ; No support for pages beyond legal sized. It just cuts off the rest of the page ; The app the runs the scanner could use some updates. I’ve gotten it to lock up a few times which required a powercycle ; I’d really...
