Very much in the same category as the Visioneer RoadWarrior 3 ($93.99 at Amazon), the Brother DSmobile 620 ($129.99 direct) shares the same description as a highly portable, inexpensive, basic scanner. The basic part means you have to do without an automatic document feeder (ADF) and duplexing (two-sided scanning), two features you'll find in the Editors' Choice Canon imageFormula P-215 Scan-tini Personal Document Scanner. If light-duty scanning is all you need, however, it could be the right fit. The DS-620($199.99 at Amazon) weighs just 14 ounces and measures 1.4 by 11.4 by 2.1 inches (HWD). That makes it significantly smaller and lighter than the Canon P-215, and obviously a more attractive weight for carrying with you. That's doubly true if you don't expect to scan any documents longer than a page or two, so you won't miss not having an ADF and duplexing. Throw the lower price into the mix, and the DS-620 can easily be the more attractive choice between the two. Setup, and S...

The Brother DSmobile 620 scanner is suitable for light-duty scanning as a portable or on the desktop, with simplex (one-sided), manual-feed scanning and a low price.

This scanner fits my mobile lifestyle. I need to scan from 1-12 pages at a time for most of my mobile projects. This unit is connected and powered up (USB) to my laptop by the time it loads Win7. I use mine for B/W300 and Greyscale200 document scans straight to PDF.

It works fine. nothing to complain about.

-its relatively small; -usb power; -fast enough

none

I bought the scanner a few months ago, it gave me error messages after scanning 1 to 2 pages, either communication error, or takes forever to buffer memory, and then when I check task manager, it turned out that the program is not working.

Very good scanner, good value, and very easy to use. I can say that I am very happy that I purchased this scanner! Nothing too complicated with it, and it looks very modern and ergonomic in an office space.

Really did not like the scanner. Clumsy, difficult to get started and too frequent paper jams.

So much more convenient than a flat bed scanner; I really like this scanner; Fine for home use or mobile use; Light weight; It would not be suitable if you had a large amount of documents , that had to be scanned fast; I recommend

Nothing so far

Wanted it for digitising photos up to 100 years old, and it is perfect. I now keep it at my desk, for digitising receipts, letters, medical reports, whatever. I intend to take it with me when I visit friends and relatives. A must have for genealogy nuts.

Small, easily transportable with a laptop, no external power needed (other than the USB connection to the laptop, of course), and allows multiple jobs to be accomplished almost anywhere.
