Pros
Canon MX870
Cons
Doesn't come with blue tooth

I upgraded fro an unreliable HP Photosmart (should be Photodumb) All-In-One C309 to the MX870 about 2 1/2 years ago and I have never had a problem with it. The biggest job I used the device for was duplex scanning of a 900+ page document; scanned all pages with no problems. The HP printer I had would freeze up after about 23 pages every time. Set up was a breeze and connected 3 laptops, media center PC, Desktop PC, X Box, PS3, and two cell phones (through Canon's app) with no problems. I have only printed a hand full of pictures, but they turned out great. I would give it five stars but did not come with blue tooth, I'll have to get the adapter. Hands down the best printer I've ever owned; no more crappy HP's for me!

I had a Canon MX850 for a few years and liked it very much. Somehow it jammed a program and broke so I was forced to buy this model MX870. The directions were not thorough and we had to call support several times for various system functions. This printer is really SLOW and it uses twice as much ink as my last printer... not sure how that is but I'm replacing a black ink cartridge every few weeks and color cartridges about 6 to 8 weeks out. The amount of printing has stayed the same however the cartridges just don't last as long. I would not recommend this product... in fact I don't think I'll be purchasing from Canon again!
