SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The Brother ADS-3300W is a solid mid-range scanner suitable for small offices and home use. While it offers good scanning speeds and a decent software bundle, it lacks some of the advanced features found in higher-end models. Durability is expected to be good, given Brother's reputation, but the plastic components may be a concern for heavy use. It is a good value for the price.
