I am a medical student that requires several printouts (10-20 pages each) per day for class lectures. So this little unit has been getting alot of work for the past month.
Prior to this I had a HP inkjet...but it was eating ink so fast that it wasn't cost efficient (after like 50-100 pages it would give me low ink cartriage). So I decided to invest in a laser printer. I knew i wanted automatic duplex to save paper (better for environment)...my old HP had duplexing but required me to manually refeed the paper after 1 side printed.
I'm VERY pleased with this Refurbished model.
PROS: It came in a pretty big box, but was basically a new model (i could not tell what was wrong with it before...maybe they just replaced the drum unit). It prints SUPER fast...even on duplex...and I love the fact that it's network capable...bc it frees up an extra USB slot on my laptop and will one day allow my gf to print on the network too without having to mess with any cables. It only takes about 5 seconds to warm up, but it'll print right after that. ITS SUPER FAST - at least 20 pages a minute single sided...probably even 20 ppm on duplex. And it has a large tray underneath - holds like 200 or 250 pages at a time. I only print 8 by 10, and have not tried envelopes or 11 by 14 paper. It's not too huge either...just sits in my living room next to the wireless router.
CONS: The paper that comes out does have a slight bend to it on the 4 corners...nothing too bad, i just put them in my binder and it goes away on its own. I once printed 100 sheets in a job, and they curled up a little...prob cuz the printer got warmer...but still it wasn't a big issue. But if you were a small business and were printing this stuff for clients, i'd recommend a laser printer that didn't curl the corners. Also, the noise clicks that the printer makes may bother you upon start up...if you are printing right next to your own computer...but it doesn't bother me cuz its in a different room. If this model was in color and did not curl the corners...then it would get a 5 star rating.
ITS DEFINETELY AN UPGRADE from inkjet...(much faster and cheaper - i think it comes out to be only like 1 or 1.5 cents per page) and for the price, i dont think you could beat the network features plus true automatic duplexing. It shipped fast too.
If you are deciding whether to buy refurbished or new...i highly recommend the refurbished model (it's brand new to me).
This is my first review of an online item - so if this helped you, please let me know!
