Barcode scanner technology has come a long way. Instead of having to physically scan the barcode, today's barcode scanners use Bluetooth to connect and communicate with your smartphone. Once connected, you can easily scan barcodes using your phone's camera.

Barcode scanners have been around for years, but it's only been in recent years that the technology has become user-friendly and sleek enough to be carried in a purse or pocket instead of stashed away in a desk drawer. The barcode scanner market has grown increasingly competitive in recent years, and there are a number of options to keep your phone charged while you scan.

When testing barcode scanners for performance, our MOOZ Reviews Lab evaluates the scanner's Bluetooth connectivity and battery life, as well as how it scans both 1D and 2D barcodes. We also look at how many barcodes it can scan per minute and how easy it is to set up and use.

These are the best barcode scanners you can buy right now, according to testing and reviews:
