Best All-in-One Wireless Printer for Home Use

I was provided this printer free of charge in exchange for a review. All thoughts are of my own.

The HP Smart Tank 5101 All in One Printer is an incredible value in a few ways. Taking it out of the box I was pleased it was fairly compact without sacrificing options. It is sleek in design and I loved that it is made from recycled printers. Initially filling the ink tanks was easy and mess free! I put down a table protector just in case, but it was a seamless and clean process. The tanks hold a lot of ink for high volume printing. The ink level indicators are located on the front for high visibility of when your ink is low. It is perfect for my small business when printing out labels and order sheets. My kids are using it for coloring pages and homework research. Using the HP Smart app walked me through every step of the way to set it up on my Wi-Fi using my IPhone. The app disconnected a few times when selecting settings I preferred versus their recommended settings. I was able to pick up where it left off to finish the setup. Putting in the printer heads was the only real trouble I had. The printer does not open from the top. You have to reach in through the front panel to install them. Anyone with big hands will certainly have a problem with that step. Actual printing was a breeze! My phone used Bluetooth to connect. After aligning the heads once, it printed out perfect colored and black and white pages. The control panel is very simple and easy to navigate. (There’s not a bunch of buttons that you have no idea what they do.) The scanner made clear copies with an option of borderless prints. The HP Smart Tank 5101 really is an all in one. Print, copy, and scan all wirelessly from your computer or phone makes it very easy for adults and even kids to get their work done. The fact that right out of the box you can expect 2 years of prints from the included HP ink bottles is amazing. That’s what really appealed to me. No more dried up and expensive inkjet cartridges every month. It’s a connected and compact machine with all the important features.
