Epson EcoTank ET-4800
Score: 73/100Rankings
The Epson EcoTank ET-4800 offers low-cost, cartridge-free printing with a high-capacity ink system and versatile all-in-one features, but its manual duplex and modest speeds limit high-volume office use.
The HP Envy 6455e is a compact all-in-one inkjet printer offering high-resolution color output, automatic duplex printing and strong wireless/mobile support. It excels at photo printing and easy setup, but lacks a built-in display and duplex scanning, and its ink cartridges are not refill-friendly.

Professional reviewers commend the Envy 6455e for its sharp print quality, respectable speeds, and eco-friendly credentials, while noting the lack of a display and modest copy performance. The low ink cost and optional HP+ services are seen as strong value adds, but the printer's reliance on software for scanning and its limited hardware controls keep it in the entry-level segment.
Everyday users praise the printer's straightforward setup, strong wireless and mobile printing, and good photo results, especially on heavy paper. Recurring frustrations center on the app-only scanning workflow, slower scanner speed, and the inability to use third-party inks due to firmware restrictions.
Professional reviewers praise the low running cost and high ink capacity, while noting the lack of automatic duplex and modest print speeds.
