Our take
Best overall — the touchscreen workhorse
The iX1600 has been the safe office-scanner pick for four years running and 2026 hasn't changed that. The 4.3-inch touchscreen lets you pre-define profiles ("Scan invoices to Xero", "Scan IDs to HR shared folder") that anyone in the office can use without touching a PC. Up to five colour-coded profile sets for different users. 40 ppm duplex and a 50-page ADF cover most workgroup volume.
The catch is price — at £380-£450 it's the most expensive non-Brother option here, and you're paying for the touchscreen. If you don't need it, drop down to the iX1400.
