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 HP DeskJet 4255e is a compact wireless all-in-one inkjet aimed at home users, offering AI-enabled workflow and a 35-sheet ADF. Its main trade-offs are manual duplex only, no borderless printing, and a modest duty cycle. Best suited for light-volume households that need occasional color prints and multi-page scanning.
