    Customers dislike the connectivity of the printer. They mention that it gives them a lot of trouble hooking up wirelessly, and it takes forever to connect to the WiFi. The installation is clunky and enabling the WiFi was a bit tedious. Setting up your network takes entirely too long, and the printer continues to stop connecting to the wifi randomly.

    Lot of Settings For Little Spendings!(Use * key to enter symbols/#'s when entering wifi password!)
    Size: I don't know why it's considered small. It's actually bigger than my last printer but it's a good sizeSetup: Getting this up and running for me was an all day process but the fault was my own. I spent hours trying to breeze through it with no luck but had I taken the time to read, I would have save myself a lot of time and a minor headache. Installing the download provided for PC and the app provided for smartphone is essential. If the directions are followed and in order, there's no reason why this item shouldn't be up and running and ready to perform any task via any connection within maybe aa quickly as 15 min. An hour tops depending on your PCs installation speed I suppose. But it's a fairly quick process if done correctly.USB: Mine did not come with a USB plus, luckily I was able to use my old one but once hooked up it worked with no problemsWiFi: Works Flawlessly from both phone and laptop but was difficult setting up since you have to enter your WiFi password into the printer settings and there are NO instructions on how to enter Numbers, symbols or capital letters. I had to just play around with it til I figured it out while keeping my fingers crossed that I didn't create an irreversible error in the process. (The star key pressed before each button will allow numbers, symbols and caps. Have to press multiple times in some cases to reach desired character) Also for phones, you have to use the app provided. Which works just fine as well.Sound: I've seen a few complaints about how noisy and loud this printer is but there is actually a quiet setting which you can turn on permanently or even set to only have it on during hours of your choice.Paper Jam/Ink Problems: I have not experienced any paper jams or ink issues and I have printed quite a few documents AND images from phone AND laptop via WiFi AND usb using black ink AND color. I notice most paper Jam complaints later notice it's an easy fix and also upon arrival it seemed it could have been quite easy to damage if not handle carefully straight out the box.Price: As I write this review this product is currently going for $55.24. I purchased mine a few days ago for $34.99 so I'm glad I bought it when I did. I see a lot of printers being sold used for $20 but without ink. Add the ink and the total becomes at LEAST $35+ for a USED item! So for $34.99-a brand new, refundable, well known brand name product, with both ink cartridges included, and all of it's functions and capabilities, I'd say this is a steal!Scan: Incredible/InstantPrint: Flawless/FastCopy: Spectacular/SpeedyFax: Unused/UnknownAll in all after reading the negative reviews I am very glad that I geared more toward the positive ones. Electronics are generally built to fail at some point so even if in the end this printer begins to encounter problems, I'll simply take comfort in the fact that I only spent $34.99 on a name brand product that performed many functions and offered multiple connection methods as well as a varitey of additional settings. Having this device almost makes the fact that my last printer abruptly stopped working a bit exciting. This one does much more, looks much nicer and is far more advanced. Fax, copy, print, scan, wifi connection, usb connection, PC, tablet and phone usage. I'm not sure what more one could ask for from a printer....especially at $34.99.
