A solid, affordable all-in-one that prints, copies and scans. The document feeder on top means you can scan a stack of pages without lifting the lid for each one.
Good for: Occasional printing of bills, forms and the odd photo. Uses ink cartridges, so print a page every week or two to keep them from drying out.
If you mostly print letters, bills and appointment reminders, a mono laser is hard to beat. Toner doesn’t dry out, pages are cheap, and these machines run for years.
Good for: Light users who print now and then and never want to deal with clogged ink again.

A Wi-Fi 7 mesh system with strong, even coverage across multiple floors, at a fair price for what it delivers.
