Fast wireless duplex scanner in a compact form — scans both sides at 25ppm without a PC

Brother ADS-1700W: The right size scanner for a home office

The ADS-1700W is a sheet-fed wireless scanner that scans both sides of a document simultaneously at 25 pages per minute. At 1.4kg it's small enough to sit next to a monitor without dominating the desk, and wireless connectivity means you can position it wherever it's convenient.

What works

Wireless operation without requiring a connected computer is the key practical feature. Through the Brother iPrint & Scan app, you can trigger scans, receive PDFs, and send documents to cloud services from your phone. No laptop needed, no USB cable to route. The 20-sheet automatic document feeder handles a stack of receipts or pages without per-page babysitting.

25ppm in duplex (both-sides) mode is fast for a home scanner. A 20-page two-sided document completes in under two minutes. For home office purposes — receipts, contracts, tax documents, mail — this is meaningfully faster than feeding documents one at a time to a phone camera.

1.4kg and compact dimensions mean it fits on almost any desk without sacrificing much working space.

What doesn't

No flatbed means you cannot scan books, magazines, photos that might be damaged by the feed mechanism, or anything thicker than standard paper. The 20-sheet ADF is appropriate for home use but would feel undersized in a small business scanning dozens of pages at a time.

Who should buy this

The home office worker who wants a dedicated document scanner that doesn't require a computer nearby to operate. If you're building a paperless filing system and want to scan mail, receipts, and documents directly to your phone or cloud storage, the ADS-1700W handles it without friction.

Who should look elsewhere

Premium organization software and faster speed: Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1300 ($350). Portable use on the go: Epson ES-50 ($90) or Brother DS-640 ($75). Flatbed scanning needs: consider a multifunction printer instead.
