    The unit is large, but that was understood before I purchased it. Paper trays do not handle much. The unit does not weigh much at all. However, the quality and speed for a light duty machine are very good. Print detail using my MAC is excellent. For a student, your parents, or as a backup for the home office, this unit is perfect.

The extra trays (intake and outake) fold up and hide away when not in use so it will take up less space and look nicer when not in use. ... Read more

    This is a decent printer in that it works, but it is by any other measure a terrible buy. Its unreliable, slow, HUGE, and it feels like a tin. I got it for free from Apple because I got a MacBook, and I think I might return it. I might actually rather my old, old HP. Terrible. Read more
