Works great

Works like a charm. As far as space-saving, that's kind of a joke. Once, it's opened-up to use it takes the normal amount of room you'd expect from a small printer or dedicated fax. And not one person here using it ever folds it back up when they're done with it ...

Great little scanner

So quick and easy to set up. The only drawback is you need to go the their website and download a program which allows you to scan and rename to a specific file instead of scanning to a single location and then having to rename and move to a new location. It would be better if the company included the instructions to do this. Takes up a small amount of room on the desk

Excellent Document Scanner for the money.

This Brother ADS2700W was purchased to replace a Fujitsu document scanner. It is less than 1/2 of the price of a comparable Fujitsu replacement. We have multiple ADS 2000 in service for 3+ years and going strong; so hopefully this unit will also have good longevity. The ADS2700W is fast, quiet, replete with connectivity - USB or networked (wired/wireless).

Magic!

This unit is a dream come true! I scan and email a LOT of documents for my business, and have always had issues with the scanners jamming on multi-function printers. I finally decided I'd had enough and looked for a pure scanner. I priced this one based on specs and reviews, and could not be happier. I never imagined a scanner, outside of perhaps an "industrial" type, could scan so fast, and so smoothly. It's also a nice small size, and very quiet. I would recommend this to ANYONE who scans documents often. It is amazing!

User friendly - EASY!

My mother gave me a project of scanning her old pictures (there's a l o t). I had purchased and returned a few scanners before getting this one. It doesn't have to be connected to a computer, which makes doing the project anywhere nice! I did, however, download the drivers onto my computer. First, I sorted the pictures by size - to reduce the chance of one going in crooked. When I had a stack of about 50 or less, I simply put them in the feeder and hit the start button. One after the other fed through. It took me a 1/2 hour to get through a box. NICE!!! The second phase was to name the pictures. I took the flash drive and plugged it into my laptop. Pulled up the pictures and with their software was able to add tags and comments about the pictures. Then all I have to do is type in a name in the "search" box and any picture with that name attached shows up. Then I could give a copy of the pictures to that person, while still keeping my pictures intact. EASY. Scans to jpeg, PDF, etc. Allows you to set it to the dpi you wish. It also will scan your documents and with the OCR software allow you to search for documents. My next project will be scanning all the docs in my file cabinet and tossing/shredding those! Yipee!

Fast compact scanner

I needed a space saving fast document scanner. The brother ADA-2700W fits my goal perfectly. I purchased a few weeks ago and only found time to install yesterday. First scan was very fast. It allows you to set separate shortcuts and set different settings with each. Install was easy. Downloaded the drivers software from internet. Not crazy about that as I think providing a CD for install would be a much better option. As we enter what will be a business season in my small accounting office, we will put this machine through its paces, I’ll update this review after April. So far I’m impressed with speed and each scan is labeled with date and time along with a consecutive scan numbering.

Geat scanner, works well, easy to set-up.

Excellent scanner. Easy to set-up. I am a "paperwork hoarder" and tend to keep everything because you never know when you will need it. This scanner allows me to scan the documents and save them electronically so I always have them. This is especially helpful if you have children or have a serious chronic illness or someone in the family has one. I scan all of the paperwork I receive from my insurance company, doctors, etc... Having electronic copies helps to be able to sort and tag items. I had to file an appeal with my dental insurance recently and had all of the documents I needed at my fingertips because they were scanned and filed. The scanner has not jammed yet and works very, very well. The wireless feature is great. This allows me to place it in a convenient spot without needing USB or ethernet cables.

Scanner worth the money

This is a great scanner. There are so many easy to use options. Set was very easy to do and having the wireless capacity makes it so convenient. I set up all the family computers with ease. Files are clear, even on the page....replaced a neat scanner that stopped working unless I paid to use their cloud- This scanner requires no cloud....works with Mac Sierra fine.

One of my best purchases ever

This is my second purchase of a Brother scanner. Wanted to upgrade my ADS 2200 (which I liked) - Ambit was ok, but didn't work with Windows 10. This ADS2700 machine is a wonder. I accomplished a month of scanning in a few hours. The Paperport software is still iffy, but the Brother software works well. I can scan directly from the ADS2700 color screen and move the documents into the right folders en masse later. Worth the workaround for fast, reliable scanning. Recommend highly!

Great value for the money

I bought this one to replace a Fujitsu Scansnap S1500 for wireless convenience and because I got tired of the software. To be sure, Fujitsu still has the best hardware and the fastest scanning speeds. Fujitsu’s great shortcoming is the buggy software (which they wrote themselves) and the non-existent technical support. After I bought a new computer, I simply could no longer set up the Fujitsu because it didn’t let me specify a directory for storing the scanned files. Yup, you heard that right, the directory path was a dead field that didn’t take inputs. So there goes the great hardware because of the scrappy software. This Brother model doesn’t have the speed and the sturdiness of the Fujitsu, but it is cheaper (less than half the price), smaller (good), lighter (good), wireless (very good), allows me to download Nuance PaperPort for free, and it installed easily without any issues. Scan is a little slower than the Fujitsu but the scan quality is excellent. This is great value for the money for a home office or a small business. I am not sure it will last long at high volume though.
