Brother ADS-1250W Wireless Compact Color Desktop Scanner Review

THE BOTTOM LINE

The Brother ADS-1250W is a fast and accurate, no-nonsense portable document scanner for the small-business traveler.

The Brother ADS-1250W ($229.99) is a sheet-feed portable scanner designed for capturing multipage documents while you're away from the office. It performs similar to and has several features in common with our Editors' Choice Epson WorkForce ES-300W, except it lacks one key perk: a battery for running off the cord. If you don't mind being tethered to a power outlet or PC, though, this fast and accurate scanner will serve you well on the road.

Rock-Solid Road Warrior

The ADS-1250W is white with a back cover and output slot and looks a lot like its ADS-1700W ($259.55 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window) sibling. At 3.3 by 11.8 by 4.1 inches (HWD) and weighing 3.7 pounds, it's about a half-an-inch bigger all the way around and a half-pound heavier than Epson's flagship portable document scanner, the ES-300W ($249.99 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window) , and that's despite the Epson model's built-in battery.

If you’re looking for a compact color desktop scanner with excellent scan speeds, the Brother ADS-1250W is a great choice. It has an auto document feeder for better document management and allows you to scan too many locations, including a USB flash memory drive. It’s the best home scanner in its class and is ideal for the home office or any other environment. So why should you choose this unit over some of the best printers? Find out more in this review…
