I love this scanner, I am a Profesional Genealogist and I need to scan documents and photos and upload them to Ancestry. I am also a Criminal Geneslogist and help others find their ancestors criminal records. This works perfectly for all.

This tiny thing is awesome! Scans double sided fast! It’s small, lightweight, and plug and play! No installation required. I can go anywhere and still be productive.

It’s a waste of money if you expect to use this with Windows 11. It needs an update that doesn’t exist. Nothing but an expensive paperweight

This little scanner was easy to set up and use, working quickly. The scans are clear. I’ve loaded 5 pages at once without a problem – haven’t tried more than that yet. It communicates best it can with my cranky old MacBook. Would buy it again.

I love this machine! I used to use the NeatDesk until they went to the ” cloud” to store everything and lost years of data. This simple scanner has its software built in. You just plug it into the computer and open up the file and begin scanning. It works very well and the software is easy to use. The one down side is that it isn’t very good at scanning multiple sheets at once. It grabs all the sheets and feeds them in together. Not a big deal when scanning my bills or invoices. Overall, it has been a great purchase.

All works well other than it does not feed papers without manual intervention.

Very good, portable scanner.
Working perfectly.

Pros: Easy setup and scan quality is decent. Very small, lightweight, and portable when closed up. I love that it uses just one USB cord to connect to the computer which also provides power. Not having a separate power cable is a big plus.
Cons: The feed tray seems utterly unreliable to handle more than one piece of paper at a time and not “double feed”. Trying to scan a 20 page document is an exercise in futility if trying to do multiple pages at once in the feed tray.
Would I buy again? Eh, maybe. If I could find something that was similar size and portability that had a reliable capability to put more than just a single page at a time into the tray, I would happily pay an extra chunk of change for that. But there really isn’t much like that on the market and so for truly portable scanning in a very small package, it’s either this or nothing right now. And this does beat out having nothing because I do have times where portable scanning is a necessity for me.
p.s. The feed tray also likes to twist the paper a bit. This is a kink that can be worked out, but you need to test it a few times. Don’t start with the first thing you scan being a paper that you can’t end up having get creases in it. I consider this to be a non-factor in my rating because you can work this out with just a bit of practice and it’s more of a warning to practice before use on an important document.

It is a great product

I bought this for the 2 sided scanning. Works great, real quiet. Every once in a while it goes crooked, but overall, very happy with it!!

I bought this unit for it’s ability to replace my old imageClass MF4150 all in one printer (since it can’t do duplex scanning) and it is soooo small. I have been able to compare it to a Brother ADS-3300W (very good scan speed at duplex 600 dpi, very expensive, good quality scans, but had the most double feeds) and Epson ES-200 (fastest scan speed at duplex 600 dpi but a few software hang-ups). The fact that you don’t have to download software to use this Canon unit is great. Further, it the software had the best bleed through removal and gave almost great scans except the letters were very soft. The only downsides are when you wen to 600 dpi or asked it to do letter enhancement, it was very, very slow. Since I have a stack of documents that have to be archived, it is this slowness of scans that is the killer for me. IF you are a road warrior or space constrained and don’t have to dig out, it would be a great scanner especially when you consider I bought the open box (absolutely nothing wrong with it) and it is less than half the price of the Epson and 1/3 price of the Brother.
Edited 8/15: I have also had a chance to compare it to the Canon imageClass MF455dw. This almost $300 all in one printer-scanner doesn’t have nearly as good of software as the software in this R10. The $300 MF455dw doesn’t allow you to do text enhancement or adjust any settings OTHER than dpi in your scans. As a matter of fact, this new software for the MF455dw is terrible compared to the software that came with the 15 year old MF4150. I sooooooo wish this imageFORMULA R10 was faster. Give us the same software interface across all devices Canon. Let a user adjust things on their own!

I bought this scanner to scan 40 years of documents from my Dad’s desk drawers and closets so I could have them available online. This scanner made reasonably short work of the task and created readable and OCR’d documents which made them searchable.
Overall I love this scanner and will use it for scanning receipts and such in the future. Deducted a star for the cons, most notably the software being stored on the device is kinda weird, and it can require a bit of care when scanning docs that were previously stapled or are > 10 pages.
Pros
– With a few exceptions the scanner is very easy to set up and use.
– Scans both sides of the page at once
– Has a card slot for plastic cards (credit cards, loyalty cards, ID, etc.)
– Scans quickly, especially in black and white
– Fixes pages that weren’t fed straight
– Very portable
Cons
– Scanning software and settings are stored in the device which means it’s not accessible from other apps
– Can be finicky with pages that were stapled
– Single pages/business cards sometimes need to be nudged into the scanner
– Can’t edit the PDFs after they are saved (i.e. once the PDF is stored on the hard drive pages can’t be rotated or rearranged).
