Canon Maxify MB5450 4-in-1 Colour Inkjet Multifunction Device (Print, Copy, Scan and Fax, 4 XL Inks, Duplex, USB, LAN/WLAN, D-ADF) Black

This is our third Canon printer over 20 years and always been happy with the quality of build and durability.The attraction of the MB5150 features duplex scanning/printing with economical ink use, the speed of scanning/printing I consider good for home office use. For our family could not find a better machine at this size with all the functions we required.Set up I consider very straight forwards drivers simple download direct from the Canon site, back up CD provided in box. Set up wirelessly connected by Wifi to our home hub communication very good. Using Windows 10 & 11 plus android tablet all working well with our new printer. Menu options on the machine are instinctive all touch screen.Have tried out all printing and scanning functions, both are duplex. Quality up to 600 dpi both scanning and printing.Quality of print even at 200 dpi is good colours accurate and set well without fade or runs.Scanning quality is also very good.Tried scanning a colour document then printed comparison to the original very good.The Canon IJ Scan utility tool is very good giving many options and allow adjustments before scanning documents or photo's.Before printing again able to adjust settings from laptop to vary quality and if duplex printing required.Machine also able to print card I believe up to around 270 g/s2 I used 200 gsm on duplex printing worked very well. Surprisingly does not mention on Canon site ability to print card.Hopefully with the larger ink cartridges and published stats should be very economical on cost.I have no need to use the 'old school' fax function so have not tried this out, leads and adaptors provided.Printer lead to PC not provided in box, though already have two of these from previous printers.

I bought this primarily as a I needed a reasonably priced double-sided scanner with a sheet feeder. It does this job admirably, and the inkjet printer also works absolutely fine. No problem setting it up on my Mac and accessing it via WiFi.My only criticism is that the lid of the flatbed scanner bangs down with some force and I imagine it could break unless you're very careful.One point to bear in mind is that it's pretty big and heavy, especially for a home setting. Check the dimensions and weight before you buy!

Good so far but I haven’t really stretched it much yet. I primarily purchased for its double sided document feed scanning in order to digitise old paperwork and free up clutter. The printer side of it was just a bonus considering how much cheaper this was compared to a dedicated scanner with the same features.My main gripe comes from the fact that it is compulsory to install the supplied ink cartridges during the setup process, whether you want to or not. I had no intention of using the printing part for a few months so this feels a bit wasteful to me, as they are now likely to dry out and stop working. In an attempt to mitigate this I have automated a task to print a page once a month using all colours.It claims to have a quick first print but in my experience it’s always felt very slow to get going even from “sleep” (not fully shut down), with lots of clunks and whirring noises whilst it gets ready. Edit 2nd Dec 24: I just timed it, it took 2 minutes 21 seconds to print the first page - definitely not quick by my definition of the word!My final issue is that the “scan to network folder” option relies on SMB1, which is now very old and insecure. This was one of the additional features I was most keen on as it would save a few steps of migrating the scanned documents to my home server (Synology NAS), which does allow you to enable SMB1, but heavily advises that you don’t due to the security issues. It’s disappointing that a relatively new product still uses such an old interface with known issues.Otherwise, it’s bigger than I expected it was going to be, but that’s on me for not checking the measurements. In terms of connectivity, having the ability to print wirelessly from your phone is quite nice and it was simple enough to set this up.

Best printer I have ever bought. I had one before this one and it lasted me 3 years, only replaced for a newer model but the old one was still working perfect

very eady to set up. comes with an ink supply. replacement ink is reasonably priced. wireless set-up was so easy. I'm a senior citizen. I'm not technically aware but this setup was great. Thank you, Canon

Wanted an inkjet printer for home and family use, that did double sided, scanned and had a paper feeder tray. Although the cartridges seem expensive when you do the maths this printer works out to be one of the cheapest for ink per page. Connected to the wifi fine from a range of PC, macs, tablets and phones in our house. Quality and speed are good. It is physically quite large and paper tray sticks out at the front which isn't clear from the images but I'm really happy with it.
