Our verdict
The default recommendation for a house rather than an office. It does the three things households actually need — print, scan, copy — and it does them with the ink economics that make tank printers worth the higher sticker. You give up the document feeder, which matters only if you regularly scan stacks of paper. If you do, spend the extra $40; if you do not, this is the one.

Strengths and limitations
Pros
- Around two years of ink in the box, so the first refill is a long way off
- The cheapest genuine tank printer here, and the running-cost advantage is identical to the pricier model
- Simple enough that it is the sensible default for a household
Cons
- No document feeder — scanning multiple pages means feeding them one at a time
- No fax or Ethernet
- Colour output is adequate rather than good
