Brother INKvestment 4355
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Canon PIXMA TR8620a is a feature-rich all-in-one inkjet offering fast, high-resolution printing, versatile paper handling, and multiple connectivity options, making it well-suited for home and small-office environments. Its limitations include a modest duty cycle and a relatively heavy chassis, which may deter high-volume or highly mobile users. Ideal for users who value photo quality and multifunction capabilities over sheer throughput.
The Brother INKvestment 4355 MFC-J4355DW is a feature-rich color inkjet all-in-one with automatic duplex, a 20-sheet ADF, touchscreen, and fax capability. Its limitations include the absence of Ethernet and single-sided ADF scanning. It fits well in small offices or home workspaces requiring color printing and multifunction features.

Professional reviewers consider the TR8620a a near-identical update to the TR8620, praising its reliable hybrid ink system, fast photo output, and comprehensive connectivity while noting its limited duty cycle and lack of high-volume laser speed.
Everyday users commend the easy-to-use 4.3″ touchscreen, Alexa integration, and ability to print on thick photo media, while occasional complaints focus on the heavy packaging and the higher per-page ink cost typical of inkjet printers.
Pros: Automatic duplex printing enables effortless double-sided document output, saving paper and time.; 20-sheet automatic document feeder allows batch copying, scanning, and faxing without manual loading.; 1.8-inch color touchscreen provides intuitive navigation and cloud app integration for easy printing.; Dual-band wireless (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) supports reliable mobile and cloud printing from various devices.; Compact footprint (17.1" × 13.5" × 7.1") fits comfortably on small desks or home office spaces.; Color print speed of up to 19 ppm delivers fast output for mixed-color document workloads.; ENERGY STAR certification reduces power consumption by 20-30 % compared to federal standards. Cons: ADF supports only single-sided scanning, lacking duplex scanning capability for double-sided documents.; Maximum paper tray capacity of 150 sheets may require frequent refilling during larger print jobs.; No built-in Ethernet port limits wired network connectivity options for office environments.; Black print speed of 20 ppm may be slower than competing high-speed office printers.; Maximum print resolution of 1,200 × 4,800 dpi may not meet professional photo-printing quality expectations.
