A good choice for a printer. It was easy to install. It has been easy to operate. I am very pleased with the price and I can recommend this product to anyone.
Rating: - One month and FIVE MONTH Review
We bought the product about a month ago. So far, we are very pleased with the product. The MF4150 was purchased to take some of the load off of the Canon Faxphone L75 printer and to replace our outdated scanner. (Cat owners please read the last paragraph.)
The auto-feeder is wonderful and after one month is working perfectly.
The scanner and the process to create PDFs is 600% faster than what was required by the Epson Perfection 610 flatbed scanner.
The double-sided print feature is working extremely well.
This past month we printed over a 1,000 pages with the starter cartridge. Then we received the low-toner warning. Therefore, we shook the cartridge and have increased the life expectancy of the device. This is a trick we have been using on all cartridges.
My favorite laser printer is the Canon Faxphone L75 with the FX-3 cartridge. The cartridge would last for 11 months and was able to print about 4,000 to 5,000 pages. I am hoping that MF4150 can compete with the economy standards of the Faxphone L75. If you are looking for a printer, try to find one of these discontinued items. We switched to the L75 from using inkjets in 2003. Our operating expense dropped from $650 down to $75 in cartridges. We had no problems or complaints with the L75 over the past five years.
For $200, MF4150's price is very reasonable and so far we have no complaints.
Right now, we are very pleased with the product. I wish that these review sites would have a follow-up page for one year later. It would be interesting to see how the product performed over the course of time instead of just the first thirty days.
Our cats are happy with the MF4150. They can see movement and attack the moving paper. When our predators are attacking the machine, they are safe from any moving parts. Whereas with an older HP color inkjet printer, it was annoying to see our white cat with green paws. Our cats were intent on killing that moving HP cartridge and occasionally a paw would get snagged by the moving part. The MF4150 appears to be cat safe. If our product testing team comes up with a different conclusion, we will update this review (if possible). For those that think it is would be easier to position the printer out of the range of cats, you haven't owned a cat or if so, that cat was mentally challenged. No idea how dogs respond to the printer.
9/15/08 Product works beautifully. To date, I have made 2,897 copies with the starter cartridge and a new Canon 104 cartridge and 1,680 scans. Very pleased with the product. The new 104 cartridge lasted for about 2,000 copies before giving the low toner warning. The cartridge has been shaken twice and is still working. I just ordered a replacement cartridge (off-brand sold by Inkers). It won't be long before this extension process will run out.
There are a large number of bells and whistles with this product. Five months later, I am still exploring the features.
I spoke with a Canon representative about finding an alternative cartridge for this machine that has a longer and a more productive life. Her suggestion was to purchase a different copier whose cartridge has twice the amount of toner. It is very disappointing that Canon just creates products that for a specific purpose without allowing the machine the possibility to be upgraded. Regrettably, this is the mentality of too many companies.
If you are looking for an excellent printer, try to locate a used Canon FaxPhone L75. It is by the far the most economical product I have used for my small business. Too bad Canon discontinued it.
For pet owners: Our large cat has taken a fancy to this machine. He is very intrigued by its operation. To date, he has not been able to injury the product or himself. He has seriously tried. It is quite amusing to watch him investigate the copier. : )
If allowed, I will try to do a one year follow-up.
Rating: - Great for the price
This unit works very well for the price. I don't know of too many other MFP that duplex at this price.
Clean printing and very few jams. So much faster to first page than my cheap Samsung.
Rating: - Love it
I had an old HP Deskjet 712C and the ease of use and speed of printing on this Canon is incredible. It was easy to set up and the scanner (and document feeder) work great. I also love the duplex printing. This was a great value for the money.
