User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars So far, so excellent!
This is a nice, well-built and good-looking multi-function printer and at < $100 you can't beat the price. It is no more noisy than any other I have used. In fact, other than when the paper feeder is loading it is very quiet and smooth. Print quality is excellent but I haven't had it long enough to see how well the standard ink cartridges last.
4 Stars Epson 500
Loud and picture Quality adverage at best.Everything else functions and works real nice.For home with kids for school 5 star but for picture or office use would be slow and down to 4 star.
5 Stars Great machine
Delivery was right on time as usual. Set up was quick and easy. The only problem I had was a paper jamb the first time. That was my fault for not putting in the paper the right way. It was easy to fix and have not had a problem since.
As far as the printing quality I think it is excellent. I had no trouble installing the print colors and I think it rivals the more expensive laser printers. Both the fax and scanner work excellent.
2 Stars we often want to hit it with a baseball bat
This printer is cost effective, but very annoying. The first one I bought was defective - printed crookedly though the paper loaded straight. Second one works OK, but there are many design flaws. The slot where the paper goes when you want to fax something is very finicky. You have to insert the paper until it acknowledges it (”adf” lights up in the window and it beeps), though that’s very difficult to do. We insert it and wiggle it and tap it and reinsert it over and over, until it finally beeps. It seems like there are both too may and too few buttons at the same time - just poorly designed and not very intuitive. For example, the speed dial button is also the backspace button (not something you’d guess or remember easily), though there’s a cancel button and a go back button that feel like they could have been a backspace. There’s both an OK button and a start button, etc. The paper is hard to feed into the machine, and the support back is too short, so the paper flops backwards and becomes misaligned easily. It’s very hard to print something double-sided, as it’s very difficult to add a sheet to the existing paper sheets without taking them all out and reinserting the whole pile. Sometimes you have to hold on to the paper to get it to feed properly. Many little things like that feel like people who built it never tried to use it before they approved it for market. My old HP was easy to use and you could use it well without really reading any instructions. Not so with the Epson. This machine causes us small amounts of stress every day - not something a business owner needs
5 Stars It’s Everything We Hoped For
We’re technology dummies at my house. Our first printer was an Epson and it lasted for years, so we were comfortable buying another from the company. We’ve had it a month or so, don’t use it often, but we’ve been more than happy with every feature we’ve used: fax, copier (both text and color photos), and printer. Much to our surprise, we were able to hook it up without help; it’s that easy. This is only the second printer we’ve ever had, so I’m not an experienced reviewer, but my family really likes it and would recommend it.
