Expert review by : Martyn Clayden (techadvisor.co.uk)
The basic unit is the ADS-1100W and in its unfolded state measures a very trim 285 x 103 x 84 mm. Styled throughout in elegant black, the smart patterned cover peels back to become the input tray for a 20-sheet ADF.
Brother should be complimented for creating a versatile compact document scanner that creates multiple opportunities to disseminate digital data but it's let down by poor paper alignment.

Consumer review (very.co.uk)
Easy set up to use in wifi. Fast scanning even with highest resolution of 600dpi. Main point is that the scanner pies not pull in paper straight. With highest resolution paper is pulled through slower - I made a diy construction that ensures a4 paper...
Consumer review (very.co.uk)
I bought this to scan documents for home and work. It is small for storage and very easy to set up. For the cost the speed of the device is very good and the PDF scan quality has been more than acceptable at full speed. There have been one or two paper...

Compact, fast and convenient. Will avoid having to work out where to file all the paperwork we receive. Works best for us when scanning to a USB flash drive.
