Epson EcoTank ET-2400 Black
Score: 76/100
Brother INKvestment 4355
Score: 79/100Rankings
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.
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.

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.
“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.”
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.
