The Canon Pixma MX870 is a full-featured fax-equipped MFP that is ideal for a home office. Despite its low price, it is packed with features including automatic duplexing, an automatic document feeder (35 pages) and wireless networking. Its paper capacity (300 sheets over two trays) dwarfs that of printers twice its price. The catch? Its speed falls short of the competition, including Canon's Pixma MG8120 (*Est. $225). The Pixma MX870 printer is a bit bulky at about 19 inches by 17 inches by 9 inches, and heavier than most, at 26.1 pounds. Output quality is said to be comparable to other inkjet models.
The Pixma MX870 gets thorough reviews from PCMag.com, CNET and PC World, each of whom performs speed and output tests. Editors at ComputerShopper.com also give it a look. Hundreds of users at Amazon.com give their feedback, most of whom say the MX870 printer is a great value.
