Our take
Lightest in the room
At 270g and a single-sheet feed, the ES-50 is the one you actually remember to bring. No ADF — you feed pages one at a time — but at 5.5 seconds per page that's fine for the use case (the odd receipt or contract). Scans to PDF, JPEG, cloud or email via the Epson Smart Panel app.
