Reviewer verdict

Across 23 YouTube reviews, the Epson FastFoto FF-680W earns a Summa score of 4.2/5, ranking #44 among Scanners. Reviewers most often praise its software functionality, document feeder, image quality, while the most common criticisms concern image quality, scanning speed.

The FastFoto FF-680W is widely praised for its fast, reliable automatic document feeder and batch scanning ability, with reviewers repeatedly noting the feeder handles up to about 36 photos and reliably scans front and back in a single pass (document feeder points mentioned in 55 reviews). Reviewers also commonly praise the bundled Epson software for automatic enhancement, organization, OCR and easy cloud/upload options, with software functionality noted in 53 mentions. Speed and throughput are frequent highlights too, with many citing roughly one photo per second at 300 dpi and rapid bulk-archiving capabilities (30 mentions). Reviewers additionally report generally good image quality options (300/600/1200 DPI) and solid value for large-volume scanning projects (25 mentions).

Criticisms concentrate on image quality limits and artifacts, such as 8‑bit color depth, interpolated 1200 dpi, occasional vertical lines or reduced crispness compared with flatbeds, reported across 13 mentions. Reviewers also caution that the fastest speeds apply only at lower resolutions and high-resolution scans are slower and produce larger files (12 mentions). Maintenance and handling concerns appear regularly: the scanner is sensitive to dust and requires frequent cleaning, carrier sheets have limited life, and the feeder can be picky with fragile, tiny or stuck photos (10–11 mentions). Software and connectivity receive some complaints as well, including imperfect auto-enhance, occasional unwanted back images, OCR limits, and temperamental Wi‑Fi or single-computer linking (5–8 mentions).
