Canon PIXMA MP500 All-In-One Photo Printer, Copier, and Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This printer is great!! I got this printer about two months ago, paid $150 from amazon, and I've had very few complaints. It truly is a great printer, and exceeded my expectations. I was hesitant at first to get this printer because I wasn't actually able to find it in stores (not available at the major electronic stores), and didn't have a chance to test it out ahead of time. Trust me on this though, it really is great!
PROS:
Simple to set up
Excellent print quality
Great software (easy to use)
Memory slots
Great color LCD display
Print on both sides of the paper without having to do any work!!
2 paper feeders (comes in handy...automatically switches when one is out)
Very quick
Cheap Cartridges (around $12 per color)
5-cartridge printer (when one color runs out, you don't have to replace the whole cartridge, just the one that is out)
Extremely easy to install cartridges (lights inside the printer tell you whether it is installed properly or not)
Easy to scan and copy
Quiet (once it has "warmed up"
EXCELLENT VALUE (beats most of the $300-400 printers)CONS:
a bit BIG and clunky
no fax
takes a while to "warm up" (once it warms up...its FAST)
This is by far the best printer I have ever used. The only concern I would have is that if you don't have much space, you might be in trouble, but that would be the case with almost any other all in one (this is a little bigger than normal though). I already had a fax, so the fact it didn't have that feature wasn't a big letdown, but if you have to have a fax, I would still go with Canon (cheapest cartridges and great quality). When you turn the printer on, or if you haven't used it in a while, it will make wierd noises (I guess its "warming up"?) for 20-30 seconds, but then its good to go for a while.
I would definitely suggest this printer to anyone looking for a great multifunction printer, especially if on a budget.
