Samsung Multifunction Devices

The Bottom Line: Long on design and short on features, the Samsung SCX-4500 multifunction laser printer is best suited for light home or office use. Unless you're willing to pay for a showcase printer (two words we've never seen next to one another), your money will buy you more features and faster task speeds elsewhere.

Specs: Limited warranty

The Bottom Line: The Samsung CLX-3160FN isn't the best or fastest multifunction printer, but it offers a good value for small offices and work groups with basic needs.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 1200 dpi, None

The Bottom Line: With low print costs, great print quality, and decent speeds, the Samsung SCX-4200 is a no-brainer for a home office or very small office on a budget.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 2400 dpi

The Bottom Line: The reliable, easy-to-use Samsung SCX-4720F has great performance but a few glitches, notably limitations on its USB flash drive reader.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 600 dpi

The Bottom Line: The Samsung SCX-4100 is an economic choice for small-job printing, copying, and scanning, but Mac users or those who need to fax must look elsewhere.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 600 dpi

The Bottom Line: The Samsung SF-565P laser printer provides a full suite of multifunction basics, yet nothing sets it apart from the competition.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 200 x 200 dpi

The Bottom Line: This multifunction offers individual users a lot for the money, but small businesses will need more speed and capacity.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 300 x 300 dpi, Corded handset

The Bottom Line: This multifunction suffices for a low-volume small or home office, but look elsewhere for fax or heavy-duty copying features.
