Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Simplify Your Scanning Tasks with Brother ADS1500W Compact Color Desktop Scanner - Featuring Duplex and Web Connectivity by Wayne Goff

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost Guaranteed Problems! Obsolete - Should be retained or discontinued.

Bought two of these. The wireless connection is the worst Wi-Fi I've ever had. I have the latest Netgear Nighthawks at home and commercial grade Cisco at work. If you sit next to the router, the page transfer takes 20-45 seconds. So a 10-page document literally takes 5 minutes. In earnest. If you are more than 20 feet away, the connection often drops and you have to re-enter your network password. If you're comfortable reprogramming your wireless router's advanced settings, you might be able to fix this problem. I suspect part of the problem is that the last driver released by Brother for this model was 2013! You will find conflicting statements about whether Windows 10 is officially supported Windows 10 supports some features but not all. Also, the scan to email feature does not work with most hosted email accounts. If you still have your own Exchange server, you're in luck. Too bad I have several other fantastic Brother products. It appears to be a well made car.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
