Epson Expression Home XP-5200 Wireless Color All-in-One Printer with Scan, Copy, Automatic 2-Sided Printing, Borderless Photos, 150-Sheet Paper Tray and 2.4" Color Display,Black

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is the first time i purchased this brand and I am very pleased I did. I’ve used the same brand for years and always gave me issues even setting it up. This was easy to set up and I was printing in no time.

First of all I am a repeat customer of Epson printers, my last one was 12 years old, XP-430, time for a new one. This came highly recommended and was priced good enough for my budget.Pros:Easy to set up. It took 10 minutes from unboxing to printing.All functions work great and its easy to save to computer, or iCloud, etc.Powers up quickly.Bottom front load paper tray (LOVE THIS).Compact design.Bluetooth connection, easy to set up and connect to wifi.Cons:Extremely loud while printing. I placed it in 3 solid places, exactly the same level of noise each time.Ink runs out way to fast and is expensive to replace even for generic brands (hard to find)Black ink is base and I hardly printed anything and was notified ink was out!I trusted the reviews but never saw one that commented on noise or ink levels. It is still a great product but do your homework before purchasing if you require heavy printing or a quiet device.RE-REVIEW after a month:Started out great, untl I changed the ink, which is ridiculous. The ink tanks are expensive and run out after MINIMAL pages or printing.After installing the new cartridges, the quality was awful. I followed the prompts to clean the heads, reprint, power clean, useless.DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRINTER!!!!!

This printer fit well within the price range that I was looking for with the features that I needed. Set up was very easy. All of my devices are Apple, and there were no compatibility issues or problems printing from my iPad, phone or MacBook Pro. I like the individual ink cartridges, but they are aren’t carried by the local Walmart or Target stores. I’ve ordered replacement from the Epson web site, price was decent and delivery was very fast. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

This printer is less than $100. You get what you pay for. "Normal" print quality is sometimes not great, so for a lot of things I use the "best" print quality setting. Also, it does go through ink cartridges quickly, but the ink cartridges aren't that expensive. It's fine for the money; just know that it's not a super nice office quality printer.

I’ve had printer for a year. Don’t make large quantities of prints. Printer has worked beautifully until just recently. Suddenly produced blurry, unreadable prints. I went to settings and ran what was called power cleaning. That fixed everything.

So I connected the printer wirelessly to my computer. Easy enough. I printed 15 pages and the black ink ran out. I was sure that this was just some kind of mistake. Like I just got a bad cartridge. So I call Epson customer service and told them what happened. Well guess what, the man told me that was done on purpose. I was like, what? That doesn't make any sense. He said that there was only enough ink in cartridge to print out more or less 15 pages because that cartridges' only function was just to test whether or not the printer was working properly. So I was like, WHAT? I said, So I bought this new printer and right away I have to spend more money on a cartridge? He was like, Yeah. Then I was like, F.U.!And something else as long as I have your attention. I bought another black cartridge off Amazon. It was an off brand for the Epson I have. It lasted long enough. I was more or less satisfied with it. But when it ran empty the printer was saying that ALL ink cartridges were going to need to be replaced. It was indicating that all the cartridges were empty. And I did not print any color other than black. So they were trying to screw me over with the other three cartridges. DON'T BUY THIS PRINTER.

Just finished setting up and printing some documents on the XP-5200. I was worried that the set up would be difficult -- I long for the days when you could download a driver and hook up with a cable and off you go. I was pleased that the set-up, using both the front panel and the app which you must download, the process was pretty seamless. No frustrating errors or mishaps.It does take 30 minutes or so for the entire process, but the app takes you step by step through the process. A third of the set-up is just getting the printer ink charged and going through the alignment process.Print quality is excellent. That said, I am mostly printing calendars, reports, and word documents, so color alignment is not a high priority.Same size as my previous HP 2700 printer. There was nothing wrong with my HP printer EXCEPT that when I upgraded my wifi, the printer was no longer compatible. In additional the HP app was a nightmare compared to the EPSON.

This is a decent printer but it drinks ink. I bought genuine Epson ink from Epson and two months later needed more despite printing very little. Also---NEVER RUN A FIRMWARE UPDATE IF YOU HAVE NON-OEM CARTRIDGES. Epson FORCES you to use their cartridges by doing this AND refuse to offer a fix. My non-OEM ink worked fine until the firmware update. I only bought non-OEM because the Epson cartridges that came directly from them were subpar to say the least. I WILL NEVER BUY ANY EPSON PRODUCT AGAIN.
