5.0 out of 5 stars easy - compact
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2023
I was skeptical - didn't see perfect reviews. I'm giving it a perfect review. Set up quickly! no disappointing malfunctions during install. Scan was clear and smooth. Super easy. This is my second feeder. The first feeder I ordered years ago started to get weird, as it scanned a few hazy lines during the feed. Running diagnostics etc. never resolved the lines. Tossed it after getting this one - nothing lasts forever (?)
It's new, no issues - crossing my fingers it will last many years like the first one. If you need to scan a document from time to time or receipts (super small business things) I find it helpful that I can hide it away behind the computer monitor when I'm not using it. What a great idea that someone thought of this small scanner! I don't need anything huge. The printer has one, and the scanner was always a dysfunction. Cheap all in one machines have failed at true -"all in one". When you are tight on space you don't want tons of bulky junk!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick to set up and easy to use.

Download of the operating software was quick and set up is a breeze using my desktop PC. Small enough to stash in a drawer when not in use. Just plug in a USB slot and open the app on my desktop. Works great for scanning tax documents for filing and archive with tax report. Has two ft USB cable and very basic instructions in the box with some calibration and cleaning supplies. I can assign file names and folders for every page using the APP.

4.0 out of 5 stars Setup a Pain - Use a Protective Cover When Scanning!
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2020
Overall, I am happy with this scanner. We purchased it for use during remote learning as we need to submit our work at the end of the day. However, there were a few things I noted about this scanner that are useful to know.

- Only scan printed documents or assignments done in pencil unless you have a scanning cover sheet or want to run the maintenance with a wet sheet.
- The black and white scanning is very limited (see the attached comparison between greyscale, black and white and color)
- Setup is a bit of work and is all online; no software installation disc is included
- The scanner needs to be plugged in before you start the software for scanning. You cannot scan without this software and if you plug in the scanner after you start the software it will not work.
- It is small and spacious but this means it cannot scan anything wider than a single 8" paper, one sided. You can add more pages with the software though, so this doesn't pose much of a problem for me.
- It continues to scan no matter how long or short the document is. This is so useful!

Overall this scanner is perfect for our remote learning needs. I would recommend it, just know that you need a clear cover sheet for your scanning if anything besides pencil is used and you might have some difficulty downloading the software. They do offer tech support though that is very helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works right out of the box
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2021
Working from home I need the ability to scan forms to send to co-workers for job completion. Normally I would take a picture with my phone and then email from there. However, that was just taking to long and the quality was gone in the document. I received the Epson DS-70 today downloaded the software, plugged in the device via the USB cable provided, adjusted the settings for the image quality and was well on my way to scanning the documents I have been waiting to send. This is a small unit but handles the documents well. It is a single document scanner so you have to feed through one page at a time. Not a deal breaker due to the fact that you can add multiple pages before finishing the job. It does not perform like your more expensive table top scanners but this is a portable scanner and an inexpensive one at that so think of it as a simple machine with no frills. It is not a duplex scanner so if your documents are two sided you will have to scan both sides one at a time (again no big deal). If you are looking for an inexpensive scanner that is ready to go then I would recommend this scanner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Scanning on the Go!
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2022
I got this scanner as a portable way to scan documents since my position has me more out of the office than in. I cannot tell you how much I love it. I can also recommend the support from Epson. I had an issue with my laptop which affected the scanner being detected for use. Epson took my call at the end of their day without any complaints and stayed on the line with me until they had resolved the issue. They reset the scanner and had me scanning in no time at all! This is a great addition to my mobile office! GREAT FOR SCANNING ON THE GO!
