![Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1500 Color Duplex Document Scanner with Touch Screen for Mac and PC [Current Model, 2018 Release]](https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61I4ZdtMXTL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I now have one Fi7160, one SV600 and four of the discontinued S1500 (all Fujitsu) scanners (I used to have five of the S1500s but I sold one when I got the Fi7160). These are all workhorse scanners. I've never had a problem with any of them. I've worn out and replaced the paper separator tabs (these are a consumable) on 2 of the S1500 models, and they continue to work like new. I have probably scanned over a million pages on all of these scanners combined.
I have carried an S1500 scanner with me on airplanes (in the factory bag you can get). I taken it to meetings with my laptop, and it works great. The S1500 is a 20 ppm duplex scanner and the Fi7160 is 60 ppm duplex (120 images per minute because it can scan both sides of a page.) I have scanned 1000s of pictures. I scan business cards, ID cards, mixed documents, receipts, etc. It comes with a document sleeve for fragile documents.
The Fi7160 will fit in the same carry bag as the S1500 and I'm sure it would be just as durable. the Scansnap software is all you need. You can set up different profiles (as many as you want) and customize every scan setting, including auto OCR if you want. It interfaces with various cloud services (Evernote, Dropbox, One Drive, etc.) Scans to email. All of the models I've purchased include Adobe Acrobat full version which provides additional options to compress and optimize the PDFs.
The Fi7160 saves a lot of time over the S1500 and will pay for itself in the time you save within a month if you do any volume of scanning.
By adding additional pages during the scan as the feeder gets low on pages, you can continuous scan a few hundred pages.
The Fi7160 is the newest scanner in my "fleet" and I've had it for about 2 years. I've had absolutely no problems and it has scanned a few hundred thousand pages by now.
I highly recommend this scanner.
