9 in - 9.9 in Multifunction Devices

The Bottom Line: The Brother MFC-5890CN all-in-one is hands down the worst printer to take up space in our lab. From the irritating initial set up to the horrendous output quality and slow print speed, this device is the easiest way to flush $200 down the drain.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 x 2400 dpi, None

The Bottom Line: Its features set is oddly unbalanced, and better all-in-one inkjet options cost just a bit more, but the HP Photosmart C5280 is a good bet for casual home users on a tight budget.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 2400 x 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line: The low price of the HP Officejet J5780 makes up for some drawbacks, including slow print speeds and lackluster text prints. We recommend spending a little more for the competition from Canon.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 2400 x 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line: The HP Photosmart C6180 all-in-one tries to be everything to everyone, and ultimately it fails to meet this lofty goal. It's a good printer at a decent price, however, for the home user who wants to consolidate all tasks into one machine.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 4800 x 4800 dpi

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 HP OfficeJet 6310 offers lots of features to home users but falls short in the face of its competition. There are better all-in-ones for your home office.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 2400 x 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line: With its wealth of photo-manipulation features, the Canon Pixma MP800R is a great choice for an amateur photo hobbyist. It's also fast at all tasks, which makes it a better choice than the HP Photosmart 3310.

The Bottom Line: With its wealth of photo-manipulation features, the Canon Pixma MP800R is a great choice for an amateur photo hobbyist. It's also fast at all tasks, which makes it a better choice than the HP Photosmart 3310.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 2400 x 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line: The HP OfficeJet 5610 is affordable and provides most of the home-office basics, but it doesn't stand out from the crowd of better-equipped multifunctions.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 x 2400 dpi

Editors' Take: The HP Officejet 6210 all-in-one offers office-friendly faxing, scanning, copying, and printing.
