ScanSnap 1500 
The ScanSnap does everything very well, it is fast and easy to set up and use.
Worth every penny
This scanner is an amazing piece of machinery. The scan speed is astonishing, and the quality is superb. The included suite of software makes quick work of standard scanning-related tasks. The folding design is ingenious and makes for compact desk presence. I've had no problem scanning anything from standard letter-sized sheets to credit cards and photos. A must-have for going paperless.
Bought two of these 1 yr ago, so after the honeymoon...
After the honeymoon period, I love them. I have one at home and one at work. At home I've scanned, receipts, forms, insurance paperwork, just about anything I didn't want to keep but thought I might need someday, got scanned and tossed. It's great for decluttering your life. I've also used this extensively for estate paperwork, keeping records of everything. I've also used it to scan in textbooks (although cutting the paper out takes some time...), but once they are OCR'd they make a great reference for me without having all the books collecting dust etc. I don't want to be moving books twenty years from now, but slowly but surely, my 500 or so books will make it into pdf format and into the woodstove in the winter.
The work one has saved me innumerable times. I scan everything in my office and can then access it remotely and order it as I wish. The adobe included works beautifully, no one should be without it, and it makes the value of this scanner incredible.
I have rarely experienced any difficulty in scanning receipts, invoices, direct deposit forms, glossy textbook pages, etc. However, I read some reviews about trouble scanning, but there are many settings you can use to scan. I typically set the sensitivity so that it doesn't stop on any one paper feed problem. The few problems I have experienced have usually been with previously stapled (or worse, many times stapled) sets of paper, then not individually separating the pages at the corner where they were stapled before scanning. I've discovered a trick that when I have 30 or so pages which have lived with a staple(s) for more than 5 years, and are nearly self adhering to the staple marks on a corner, that I put the stack in upside down with the staple area at the top away from the feeding mechanism, it then pulls each page, and sometime tugs the page from the others, but it usually works flawlessly and without any intervention on my part. Then once in acrobat, I run OCR on the document which orients each page correctly -- how can you go wrong?
I consider these scanners the best use of ANY technology dollar I've spend in the last 5 years, and I buy a lot of gadgets... they are simply awesome!
Best purchase I have made
I have never made a purchase for my business that I have been more satisfied with. The scanner is fast and effecient and scans to many different programs. Very easy to set up. Very clear scans.
Awesome little scanner
This scanner is easy to use and fast. I cannot believe the price is so low.
