Top 10 most reliable multifunction devices

10 Brother DCP-1612WR

MFP with laser technology and support exclusively black and white printing. This Japanese brand always produces the most high-quality and well-designed devices, and this model is no exception: the software is simple and thoughtful, the management is convenient, and the print quality will satisfy even the picky owner.

In the reviews they write that DCP-1612WR does not like thin paper, but the most experienced users suggest that when printing on low-density sheets, it’s enough to set the paper type “second-rate” in the settings - and the problem will be solved. The model is perfect for the office, but at the same time it is quiet and boasts high-speed printing. The ink consumption deserves attention as well: there is enough toner for 1000, and a photodrum for 10,000 pages. Those who bought this model, with a clear conscience, recommend it to friends and colleagues as the most reliable and inexpensive.

9 Canon PIXMA TS5040

Inexpensive, but high-quality and reliable device with decent functionality. The model fits into the conditions of the office, although it is designed for home use. Among the possibilities there is color and photo printing, work on Wi-Fi, borderless printing (saves paper). The printer does not chew thick sheets - it copes with paper density up to 300g / m².

In the reviews, the owners write that they are greatly facilitated by the presence of a card reader in the MFP. So, PIXMA TS5040 can print documents or photos directly from a flash drive, without an intermediary in the form of a computer. The noise level is quite comfortable, and the size and weight are comparable to an amateur printer. The main drawback is not the highest quality printing (occasionally horizontal dark stripes are visible on the offset), and a fine mesh is visible on the photo paper (visible if you look closely).

8 Brother DCP-L2500DR

MFP, which allows you to easily refill the cartridge, manage it without connecting via cable, use double-sided printing without turning the sheets over. In the reviews they say that the reliability of the Brother DCP-L2500DR deserves special attention. The owners have been using the multifunction device for more than a year, and during the whole period of use at home or in the office, they have never encountered any malfunctions or glitches.

Here is a fast laser printer that does not own color printing. Quality prints and satisfy the demanding user. Wi-Fi is stable and does not “fall off”, and for communicating with smartphones, the manufacturer has provided convenient applications - there is for both Android and iOS. Cherry on a cake - it is not necessary to spend money on refueling specialists, the refueling process is quite simple, and the Internet is full of detailed video instructions.

7 Brother DCP-L2520DWR

Laser MFP with black and white printing, which is characterized by reliability and high-quality assembly. Half a pack of paper is placed in the tray, and it closes completely - nothing sticks out, dust does not accumulate. The developers have thought up the device settings to the smallest detail, so after plugging in the MFP, it is ready to work in a minute and without the need to connect it to the computer with wires.

Of unbanal amenities here there is an automatic two-sided printing (the device itself turns over the sheets). Wi-Fi works without any glitches, and the printer accepts non-genuine cartridges, so that maintenance does not require a lot of money. The manufacturer also created mobile applications for printing via smartphone - there are programs for Android, iOS and even Windows Phone. Minus - reduced amount of ink in the complete cartridge.

6 HP DeskJet Ink Advantage Ultra 4729

The most inexpensive, lightweight and compact gadget for home use. The model owns color printing on thermal inkjet technology. Black and white prints produce 20 pieces per minute, and color - 16 each. It takes about a quarter of a minute to warm up. In the reviews they say that it is one of the highest quality and cheapest multifunctional office equipment for a small office.

It's nice that the cartridge is consumed to the end, and the printer itself is quite quiet - suitable for home use. There is a caveat: the manufacturer claims that the black-and-white cartridge lasts for 1500 pages of printing, and of color for 750 pages, but the numbers are correct when the page is filled with color by 5%. This is the lightest MFP from our top - the weight is just over four kilograms.

5 HP LaserJet Pro MFP M426fdn

Overall and weighty device, designed for use in the average office. Laser technology with black and white printing quality and perfect for demanding users. Surprising speed of issuing prints - in a minute in the tray will be 38 sheets. The LCD display is color-coded and facilitates management; when scanning the MFP itself, it takes originals from the tray - no need to place each page in the scanner manually.

In the reviews, some users admit that they bought a model for use in the photo salon. Here, a large cartridge resource and an adequate price, and in terms of reliability, the model is excellent for such industrial conditions. Also, owners share experiences: it is not necessary to refill cartridges more than twice, to print on draft copies is also not desirable. If these conditions are met, the MFP will delight you with quality work for many years.

4 Xerox WorkCentre 3215NI

The best MFP for home and small business for those who are looking for a quality and reliable model with a fax and is ready to put up with a black and white printer. The manufacturer has given the gadget a system of filing originals when scanning or copying, printing speed, reaching 27 pages per minute, and working via Wi-Fi - without wires.

In addition, Xerox WorkCentre 3215NI can send scans via E-mail and store up to 225 pages received by fax. The cartridges are chipped, but they write in reviews that with the help of a specific firmware the MFP can no longer see the chip, and the cartridge can be refilled with toner and save a lot on consumables. Here the laser b / w printer and a decent amount of RAM. Another reason to choose this particular model is a high-quality assembly and a body made of dense plastic.

3 Epson L3070

One of the most high-quality devices with color printing for sane money. The printer quickly copes with large volumes - gives 33 pages per minute. There is also a photo printing, but the four-color technology hints at the not very high-quality result - for home and office presentations the level is good, but far from professional printing.

A color screen makes it easy to manage, joy adds a Wi-Fi connection and borderless printing. CISS saves on consumables - the MFP does not need refilling as often as models without a continuous ink supply system.As the users say in the reviews, this is one of the most high-quality inexpensive inkjet gadgets for home use.

2 Canon i-SENSYS MF3010

MFP with unchiped cartridge and high-quality execution. This is one of the most reliable models that are deservedly in demand - Canon i-SENSYS MF3010 has become a leader in sales in Russia. Japanese quality is felt both in print and in scanning. The control is clear, but the screen is uninformative.

The gadget turns on quickly and prints the first prints after eight seconds. The manufacturer notes that this model is designed for personal use at home, although its capabilities and characteristics also imply application in the office. This is one of the highest quality MFPs, which has gained the trust of a large number of users.

1 Samsung Xpress M2070W

A fast-printing device, which, among other things, is also reliable. Numerous reviews of satisfied owners hint at high-quality assembly and sturdy components. A black and white laser printer accelerates to eighteen pages per minute. Xpress M2070W is suitable for office and home - its monthly labor resource is limited to 10,000 sheets.

An interesting point - the printer keeps a record of ink not by the actual amount of ink in the cartridge, but by the number of printed pages. Therefore, if a notification is opened on the screen requesting to replace the consumable, press the small “Next” arrow and type further until the cartridge is empty. There is Wi-Fi and NFC, so it is quite possible to print from a computer and a smartphone without wires.
