The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 is a cartridge-free all-in-one printer offering very low ink costs and solid wireless connectivity. Its modest print speed and modest paper capacity keep it from high-volume tasks. Best for home offices and small businesses that prioritize operating cost over speed.
The Canon PIXMA TR4720 is a compact all-in-one inkjet that delivers high-resolution prints and includes useful features like an automatic document feeder and voice-assistant support.

Professional reviewers commend the TR4720 for its compact footprint, fast document printing, versatile all-in-one functions and the inclusion of fax and hybrid ink, making it a solid choice for home or light-office environments. However, they note slower photo printing and the absence of duplex scanning as drawbacks compared to competing models.
Everyday users value the straightforward wireless setup, reliable mobile app printing, good document quality and the handy ADF, while recurring complaints focus on partially filled starter ink, slow photo output, occasional hardware glitches and the lack of duplex scanning or larger paper support.
“one copy and it failed”
“Easy wireless setup and app printing from phones”
“a relatively straight path down into the printer (rather than being pulled 180 degrees from a bottom tray), this model is much less likely to jam when you're using thicker paper or cardstock.”
Reviewers consistently highlighted the EcoTank ET-2400's cost-effectiveness, noting the cartridge-free design and high-yield ink bottles as a major advantage for home-office and small-business users. The printer's genuine Epson build quality, reliable rear-feed paper handling, and versatile high-resolution flatbed scanner were also praised, positioning it as a solid all-in-one solution for budget-conscious buyers.
Users echo the professional sentiment, especially valuing the rear-feed paper path that reduces jams with thicker media and the generous ink supply that lasts for years. The combination of wireless connectivity and sufficient paper capacity is seen as convenient for everyday home-office tasks, while the borderless photo printing and high-resolution scanning receive positive remarks.
