1.0 out of 5 stars Can't even set it up
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2023
UPDATE:
I would buy the Epson if I could do it over. I waited too long to return this one. Not only is it difficult to set up, it is hard to get the pages set into the feeder straight so they get pulled in at an angle a lot of times. Now, there is a "skew auto correction" that will correct a lot of this, but sometimes the page still is skewed after scanned. You just don't feel like you ever get the pages set good when you put them into the feeder. Also, the little paper guides that you adjust to the size of your paper are hard to control. When you close them in on your paper to stabilize it, it pushes the paper around and skews it more.

First Review:
The instructions on this are miserable. They say quick start-up, but they don't work. You will probably need the special usb cable (not the regular one) to set it up and it does not come with the product. The quick start- up refers you to the on line manual for help, and it doesn't say a thing about how to connect the device. So, if you want to buy this, buy the cable first, else prepare to be frustrated! I'll write another review once I get it set up and start using it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent scanner
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2021
For my needs, it is the best scanner I ever had (and I have used quite a few.) I am moving and I have tons of papers, so I decided to destroy them but to digitize many of them. In a few days I scanned lots of documents and various papers like medical, banking stuff, tax returns, technical papers, etc.. The result is organized in multiple folders and amounts to 1.27 GB which represents a lot of data. This little scanner is optimized for this type of utilization, of course I would not use it to scan and copy photographic material.
It is really small, very easy to use and it interface is extremely well done. A feature I like, is that I could select PDF output and the result is a readable PDF document, the OCR is done automatically. Of course I also appreciate the wireless capability, one less wire and flexibility of placement.
If you use it at 300x300 dpi its scanning speed is very fast, and when I compared the output with 600x600 dpi, which is slower, there was no significant difference in quality.
I am used to traditional flat scanners but this one is so much painless to use that I am really impressed, and of course it is quite inexpensive. I strongly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wireless may not work
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020
Worked well, except spent hours and hours trying to use it wireless, to no avail. Brother’s tech support finally told me to buy a cable. It is an odd cable; stores did not carry it but I was able to pirate one from a backup disk drive.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a decent little scanner, but dear lord the wireless setup is appalling.
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2024
Ordered two for my office. There is a wireless setup tool that's required if you're a Mac user and you want to attach it to your wireless network. On Brother's support | downloads page, it's available under MacOS 13.x, not 14.x.

Got the first one working (after much consternation) and thought I had setup figured out. For no apparent reason, the tool will not detect the second scanner. And does the scanner have a web interface page available once you give it an IP address? Who knows? The guy writing the manual didn't seem to.

Brother, you're too well established for this kind of stuff. Imagine the numbers you could sell if you documented your products properly and didn't frustrate your customers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super impressed, especially for the price.
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2021
I've wanted a scanner that will feed more than one page at a time and doesn't take the time and effort of a flatbed. The Brother Wireless Portable Compact Desktop Scanner ADS-1250W is everything I wanted it to be - easy to set up, super compact (I can use it anywhere and am not tethered to a bulky machine), efficient and does a great job. I'm trying to reduce the papers I have filed - things I don't need physical copies of, but should probably have access to. After sorting, say, the medical or utility bills from last year, I can scan 20 pages at a time and the PDFs come out great. I appreciate the ability to add additional pages, save with whatever settings I want, and wherever I want. I did have a couple of issues with really long papers (like end of year social security statements for my mom) but I just scanned these one side at a time and added them to that year's tax file easily. It's speedy, accurate and easy to use and control. Highly recommended.
