What is it:
All-in-one inkjet printer with wi-fi connectivity

Typical price:
£235.46 - £307.94

We like:
Space-saving design; robust software; interactive LCD menu; dual-paper feeds; auto-duplexer included

We don't like:
Poor print quality; expensive; no fax machine; flimsy paper cassette; slow text output speed; unreliable wireless performance

The judgement:
The Canon Pixma MP980's print quality isn't up to standard and it doesn't perform as quickly as the competition. The HP Photosmart Premium Fax all-in-one is a less expensive alternative that adds value with a fax machine and faster, higher-quality output
