Rating of the best MFPs for home 2018 * Technics

Send

Multifunctional devices (MFPs), combining the capabilities of a printer, scanner, copier, and sometimes fax, can save you time and space. This makes them a great choice for home users. Having bought one MFP for the home, you do not have to buy three or four different devices for each individual task. The print quality of all-in-one devices is not inferior to their “single-tasking” colleagues.

Based on the popularity of all-in-one devices (rating not lower than 4 out of 5 possible) and reviews on Yandex.Market, we made list of the best MFPs for home use.

10. Epson Expression Premium XP-830

The average cost is 14,990 rubles.

Features, specifications:

MFP (printer, scanner, copier, fax)
for home, small office
5-color inkjet printing
Max. A4 format (210 × 297 mm)
Max. print size: 216 × 297 mm
printing photos
color LCD
two-sided printing
printing from camera and memory cards
Auto-feed originals when scanning
Wi-Fi Ethernet
printing on CDs and DVDs

This is one of the most expensive models in the ranking of MFPs for the house of 2018. You can easily find cheaper options, but not many MFPs in this price range will provide you with five-color inkjet printing and SD card support.

Moreover, the Epson Expression Premium XP-830 is one of the fastest inkjet MFPs. In a minute, it manages to print 32 sheets in both monochrome and color mode.

Epson's proprietary piezoelectric printing system is more reliable than thermal printing and provides the highest print quality. The life of the print head is the same as the device itself. With thermal printing, the print head is gradually destroyed due to temperature changes.

The device has a USB 2.0 port, and Wi-Fi and Ethernet interfaces. It can work as a fax, and allows you to directly connect various digital devices for printing or scanning documents.

Pros:

Touch 4.3-inch display.
Simple and intuitive two-sided printing.
Great quality photos.
Borderless printing and the use of glossy paper are possible.

Minuses:

Dear consumables.

Wifi

One of the best home MFPs, mainly due to its low cost, the availability of fax and Wi-Fi module. The PIXMA MX494 can print from mobile devices and scan them through a Wi-Fi network. You do not need to connect to a computer or install special drivers.

Also, using PIXMA Cloud Link, you can connect to cloud resources for working with documents.

Great resource cartridges. Together with the MFP itself are 2 black cartridges and 1 color.

Features, specifications:

MFP (printer, scanner, copier)
for home, small office
b / w laser printing
up to 18 ppm
Max. A4 format (210 × 297 mm)

The first, but not the only laser MFP in the ranking in 2018. Apparently, all-in-one laser devices are less popular among Yandex.Market users than inkjet ones because of the low price of the latter. i-SENSYS MF3010 offers only black and white printing, but at a high speed of 18 pages per minute and excellent quality. And if you believe the user reviews, then one cartridge can withstand printing over 1600 sheets.

Ink cartridges (not original). They cost about 500 rubles.
It is quiet.

Minuses:

High price.
There is no cable for connecting to a PC via USB.
No duplex printing.
With long work starts to buzz, you need to give the device a "respite."

If you can not do without a color laser MFP for the home, pay attention to the Canon i-SENSYS MF633Cdw model (the third number on our list). It costs 3 thousand more than the i-SENSYS MF3010, but it can print in color, has an LCD screen and Wi-Fi interface.

Due to its compact size, this MFP with optional fax function can be easily placed even in a small room. It has Wi-Fi, which makes choosing a place to place it even easier. Although the print quality is not as impressive as, for example, the Epson Expression Premium XP-830, the low price makes it a very attractive alternative to the more expensive MFPs.

Pros:

There is a 2.2-inch touch screen.
Weight is only 5.61 kg.
There is AirPrint support.
You can print on labels, envelopes, transparencies and cards, in addition to the usual types of paper.

If you need to print, scan and copy documents from time to time, then this is a great choice for saving money. However, the fact that the HP DeskJet 2630 is cheap does not mean that it is greatly "reduced" in capabilities. It has a Wi-Fi interface and AirPrint support. This means that you can print documents directly from your smartphone.

Pros:

The presence of an LCD panel.
Light weight - 3.42 kg.
Intuitive menu.

This all-in-one color laser device is a worthy choice not only for the home, but also for small offices where you need to quickly print documents or just don't like the high cost of consumables for inkjet MFPs.

This unit has support for AirPrint technology, as well as the ability to automatically print on both sides and direct printing from a digital device.

Pros:

5 inch touchscreen display.
There are non-original cartridges that are much cheaper than the original.

Despite the low price, it has a built-in Wi-Fi module and support for memory cards and a three-inch touch screen. Add to this the ability to print borderlessly, and it will become clear that if you have a budget of 5,000, this is the best option for a home MFP.

This is the best MFP for the home of 2018, and the point is not only in its low cost, but also in the characteristics. It prints at 8 images per minute in monochrome and 5 images per minute in color. It can print not only on photo paper, but also on matte and glossy paper, as well as on envelopes. Cartridges can be refilled on their own.

A convenient software allows you to easily manage the MFP, even for a novice user.

Simplicity of operation.
Fast print.
Light weight - 3.5 kg.

Minuses:

No USB cable included.

To summarize: which MFP to choose for the home

If the price is the most important factor when buying a color MFP, we recommend choosing between the Canon PIXMA MG2540S (1st place) and the HP DeskJet 2630 (4th position). They cost less than 3 thousand rubles, are simple in settings and fully satisfy the needs of a student or schoolchild.

If print quality comes to the fore for you, then we recommend Epson Expression Premium XP-830 (10th place in the ranking), Canon PIXMA TS8040 (7th line), Canon i-SENSYS MF3010 (6th place) or Canon i-SENSYS MF633Cdw (opens the top -3). These are expensive models, but users have no complaints about the quality of their work.

If you need MFPs that have a fax option, the choice narrows down to Epson Expression Premium XP-830 (10th place), Canon PIXMA MX494 (9th position in the rating) and HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 3835 All-in-One (fifth place).

Models with two-sided printing - Canon PIXMA TS8040 (7th place), Canon i-SENSYS MF633Cdw (in the top three) and Epson Expression Premium XP-830 (10th line). The remaining models in the review are suitable for those who are looking for a reliable, durable MFP with a Wi-Fi module.
