Best All-in-one Printers (inkjet)
by Editors of CNET
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentThe Editors of CNET report on their thorough testing of inkjet MFPs. CNET reviews dozens of multifunction printers each year, and all types are covered. Reviews spend more time on design and features than performance, but comparison charts do show the print speeds of each model relative to the competition.

by Editors of ConsumerReports.org

MFPs
by Editors of PCMag.com
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentPCMag.com regularly reviews multifunction printers, and the volume of reviews offers an excellent frame of reference. Reviewers do an excellent job of comparing and reporting relative speeds complete with comparison charts, but we'd like to see direct comparisons of print quality as well. Though not every specification is tested, what testing is done is very good, and the reviews are more substantive than those from most other computer magazines and websites.

Top 10 Inkjet Multifunction Printers
by Melissa Riofrio
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentThis chart lists the top 10 inkjet multifunction printers in the eyes of PC World's reviewers -- including four from Epson, three from HP, two from Canon and one from Brother. However, many of them don't rate highly; most are judged barely above average, with 3.5 stars out of a possible 5. Links from the list lead to full reviews, which include test results but generally do not compare printers directly.

Top 10 Color Laser Multifunction Printers
by Melissa Riofrio
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentIn this list, Melissa Riofrio names PC World's top 10 color laser MFPs. None of them actually scores all that highly, however; the rating here is 3.5 out of a possible 5. Discussion on this page is cursory, but links lead to more complete reviews, though those tend to center on a printer's features and setup rather than on performance.
