I came across Doxie after seeing a YouTuber (Creativity RV) talk about her scanner. What peaked my interest was the fact it did not have to be connected to a PC when being used because of built in WiFi and it has a rechargeable battery so I can sit and watch TV and scan. I decided to go with the Q because I did like the fact it has a document feeder so if I have something that is a couple of pages I can scan it all at once. We have a large HP printer that has a scanner but it sits in a different room and while it is great it's not convenient. This little scanner is perfect to scan and go to keep the paper stack from getting out of control!
The quality of the scans so far have been great, I haven't tried a photo yet but that's next. I started to transfer recipes that I had on paper into EverNote before I got this scanner and was using some utilities on my phone. If I had this scanner when I started that process would have been a lot smoother (have more to do so it will fun to do now!)
I use the Doxie Software on my iMac and android phone and have not had any issues with it. I like the desktop software and find it's really easy to use. I like that it has a little "staple" feature so if you scan several pages you can "staple" them together into one document once you have them scanned.
My only comment so far is when you first set it up with WiFi give it a few minutes to find your network. I was concerned at first that it was taking a while to connect but I haven't had any issues or delays with it connecting since.
On a final note, how a company handles things after you purchase their product goes a long way with me. After I registered my scanner I received a nice welcome email with a cute little scan from their product specialist. I thought it was nice. Then a few days later I received an email with a request to schedule a quick call with their Product Manager to see how I liked the scanner and what feedback I had. Those things make it well worth the purchase to me because it shows they are interested in getting customer feedback to make their product better.
I would definitely recommend this device if you want to go as paperless as possible and want a convenient way to do it.
****Update August 2021
I still really like the portability and handiness of the scanner but it is really slow to connect to wifi. I don't know if its my device, my wifi or if anyone else has this issue.

I bought 4 of these scanners for my office about a year ago and have been very happy, to the point where I've order a few more since the original purchase. However, I'm giving it three stars since the one scanner I kept for me (the other ones were for my colleagues) stopped working about a week ago. Upon inspection I notice that it was because the scanner's USB mini port broke inside and I'm unable to connect it to charge it. The scanner had been charging before but it had stopped transferring files to the computer when plugged in directly. I had to transfer files by inserting the memory card into my computer. I was ok with that but now it can't charge it either. I don't understand how the connector inside the unit can break like that. I've never had this happened to any other device. Now I need to find another portable scanner for me and other people in our firm since I no longer trust this one.
