Quick Verdict
Ideal for: students and
households with light, occasional printing.
Why it’s worth it: low entry price, ADF convenience, app-guided setup,
and a space-saving footprint.
Keep in mind: entry-level speeds and manual duplex (no
automatic two-sided printing); trays are small, so it’s best for low monthly
volumes.
