Epson Perfection V600 Review | Tested & Rated - GearLab
Mar 21, 2022 · Compared to the software of other flatbed models, we found the V600's included bundle to be less refined and more challenging to use than other scanner software. Navigating through settings and file management felt much less intuitive than other programs we used, and we found that the software ran very slowly whenever we used it on a Mac OS device.

VuPoint Solutions Magic Wand Review | Tested & Rated - GearLab
We were never able to get an actual speed reading from the scanner because we could never get to the end of our 10-page speed test document without at least a few of the pages looking totally unreadable.

Brother DS-620 Mobile Review | Tested & Rated - GearLab
Oct 31, 2017 · The interface is simple and intuitive as the software takes care of all the settings and the scanner itself has only a single button. The Brother DS-620 Mobile lost points in this metric because it has neither a feeding tray or a paper output tray, leaving the user to feed in the paper and keep the already scanned pages tidy.

Mar 21, 2022 · We found the iX1600's software to be intuitive and user-friendly. It was also easy to install on both Mac and PC operating systems. Our setup took 10 minutes, but only because of a necessary firmware update. Aside from the firmware update, getting a Mac or PC to communicate with the scanner was a simple and completely painless process.
Epson WorkForce ES-60W Review | Tested & Rated - GearLab

LEDs indicate the wireless status and the battery charge level, so it's easy to determine when you need to either diagnose WiFi issues or plug back into a device for power.
