Works great, I love it - about $500 new.
Great device. Yes, designed for extensive use. And they sell the
consumables - cheap replacements for the pads and pick roller that
might wear out after 50K or 100K scans.

I bought the 645 about a month ago. I have not used the ADF yet, and
can't testify to that.
I will say driver support (including linux) seems pretty good. Setup
the wireless through the front panel in about two minutes ---
automatically detected via Windows and Linux. The bundled driver allows
for wireless scanning, scan/print via an Android phone, and so on.
Full-featured.
The 250-sheet paper tray is flimsy, but I'm glad the printer holds that
much. The plastic used throughout the printer is pretty flimsy, but
it's a $100 multi-function device. It will do two-sided scanning and
two-sided printing...
The printer will accept the extra high-capacity ink cartridges -- not
all of the epsons will.
As a consumer device, having just had it for a month or so, I'm plenty
happy with it.
