Duration of ownership:6 Months

Strengths: Print quality is great. Two paper trays is nice option. Works great over a network.

Weaknesses: Scan quality is average at best. Start up time is slow and it needs a lot of space. Software is not well integrated and not very intuitive. If there is a way to get the scanner to "know" to scan from feeder rather than platen without setting it up every time I can't find it. HP's sense something in feeder and do this automatically.

Overall Evaluation: Compared to the reviews, I have been disappointed and find it very much a very average printer/scanner.

Strengths: Printing, copying.

Weaknesses: Scaanner output is unusable.

Overall Evaluation: For someone who does not need a scanner it's great. From a sharp, contrasty black/white doc it outputs a fuzzy, gray/white doc or pdf file that is readable only at 125% magnification or higher. From a nice sharp 5x7 color print it outputs a soft-focus or out-of-focus scan with pretty good color, but for me unusable. The scanner cover cannot hold a magazine page against the platen, so large areas of the scan are washed out by scattered light. My digital point/shoot camera can make pix of documents at its lowest quality setting that are readable on the camera LCD and are far superior to the output of this ridiculous scanner.

Strengths: Good quality scanning and decent printing.

Weaknesses: A little slow, could use a bigger hopper to hold more paper.

Overall Evaluation: I do not use printers all that much so this printer is perfect for me. It has good quality scanning and printing all in one and at an affordable price. Perfect for home use!

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Excellent print quality, fast printing and scanning and faxing

Weaknesses: None so far..

Overall Evaluation: I bought this for my neice and nephew who both just started university because it is a printer which offers great print quality for their assignments. So far, they have not been disappointed with the performance. That is a good thing as it was cheaper than the alternative - a laser printer.It also has the benefit of scanning and printing photos for the facebook generation who are both constantly living the digital life, and it comes in useful when they realize that they need to have a physical copy and not everything is digital.My brother loves the fax and tells me that he is happy with it and it works well.

Duration of ownership:4 Days

Strengths: Lots of functions

Weaknesses: Fascist approach to ink cartridges. Mediocre color output quality.VERY dissapointed long-time Canon fan.

Overall Evaluation: I am SO sad and angry at Canon. I am a LONG time loyal Canon fan. I have several of there DSLR camera, copiers and prints and I have found their products to be well-designed, quality and reliable products. *** Shocked to see Canon use such underhanded tactics to FORCE you to buy their ink cartridges by putting a chip on each cartridge. When the chip reads empty the printer won't print, even if the cartridge has plenty of ink in it. Why would I buy such a product? It's like Honda putting a chip their gas tanks that forces me to buy Honda gas (no matter how expensive), or the car won't run. I'll never buy another Canon product, they may as well have spit in my face. FCK CANON! *** I bought this MX-700 at SAMS CLUB and the printer's going back tomorrow. I'm going to let them hear about it at SAMS also, not too happy they would sell me such a product.

Duration of ownership:2 Months

Strengths: Design, Very good print, copy or scan images. G3 super fast fax.

Weaknesses: Big space consuming printer.

Overall Evaluation: I bought this one because it had the LCD, which I now prefer on a printer. This printer takes up much counter space, as do all the other Canon printers in this line. When I purchased the printer I was not aware that it also takes an additional ink cartridge, 5 in all, hence the reason for the great images it also produces.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Color LCD, print quality, Super G3 fax

Weaknesses: Takes up a lot of space, 5 ink cartridges.

Overall Evaluation: My 3rd. Canon and the best yet. Has a nice easy to see LCD smack in the middle. IMO, the print, scan and copy print qualities are probably the best next to HP printers. The only2 issues I had were the size and this printer takes 5 ink cartridges to feed, 4 is my limit! On to another printer...

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Easy network setup, good quality printing, scan to PDF, memory card slots.

Weaknesses: Cannot print black if any color is empty. No automatic double-side printing.

Overall Evaluation: This printer is a great AOI for the price. It offers network connectivity for easy printing through any connected computer . Scanning to PDF over the network is easy. Put your documents in the automatic document feeder, press scan, select PDF and the computer, and now you have an electronic backup of your important documents (eliminate the file cabinets!). Printing is good quality, text is very good. I'm not happy that I must have all colors to print with black, but most printers appear to be manufactured that way these days.

Strengths: looks cool, runs quiet, excellent copies, fax.

Weaknesses: paper tray has a problem.

Overall Evaluation: i really like this printer. it does everything. it really looks professional too. the only thing i don't like is the door where the paper goes in. if you close the door the paper gets jammed up so when you reopen it you have to pull out the paper and put it back in. so i just leave it open. problem solved. the fax is really fast and prints great copies. i also like the fact that i can print excellent quality photos too. i think the unit is priced well and has a lot to offer the home based or small business person.

Strengths: Everything on this Machine works Perfect. It is quiet, Prints quickly, and the colors are Vivid on the Photos.

Weaknesses: Only 1 minor exception. It takes a few minutes to warm up before Print Out. ( But does'nt all Good Printers need a little warming up ? ) Afterwards, it works flawlessly.

Overall Evaluation: This All-In-One Printer not only looks Great, the Functions and all it Features is easy to Understand and Work with. Set-up was a Breeze ! ( Just 3 to 5 Minutes to install software ). I am SO GLAD I bought this Machine that I will recommend it to Everybody. For the price,... YOU CAN'T BEAT IT !!!
