Score: 68/100Rankings
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 MegaTank G3270 is a wireless all-in-one inkjet with a high-yield refillable ink system and ENERGY STAR certification, making it economical for home use. Its drawbacks are manual duplex only, limited paper capacity, and lack of an ADF or internal memory. Ideal for low-cost color printing in small households or home offices.

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.”
Professional reviewers commend the G3270 for its vivid pigment-based colors, fast document throughput, and easy wireless setup, while noting that the lack of automatic duplex and an ADF makes it less suited for high-volume office work.
Everyday users generally praise the low operating cost, straightforward wireless connectivity, and compact design, but repeatedly mention the inconvenience of manual duplex and the limited paper capacity when handling larger photo or document batches.
