Our take
Best overall — the only portable with a real ADF
The ADS-1300 is the new portable to beat. 30 ppm duplex (60 ipm) with a 20-sheet automatic feeder you can leave running while you do something else. USB-C powered. ID card slot for credit-card-style docs. £170-210.
If you've been using a Canon P-215 since 2015 and miss the duplex feeder when you're on the road, this is the upgrade.
