"For the price it can't be beat"
Pros: Small, Prints color documents well, Prints are faster than most in class
Cons: Toner "cups" are small, not for heavy usage
Summary: I'm tired of people that are so ignorent that they think a $300 laser printer is going to give them lab-quality photo prints. Color lasers were not designed for this! Yes there are a few but they are in the $2000+ price range, for professionals only! For at home buy an inkjet.
After long consideration of various printers I chose this one because of the drum life. I have owned a Konica before which prints at around 6000 color pages per replaced drum. Understand on a color laser each color print hits the drum 4x this runs it down faster than black and white. The samsung is designed to get about 2x that and based on printing so far 5000+ pages it seems i'm going to get that.
The color documents that come out of this are good enough quality for presentation, but I will note it prints much better on heavy weight paper (24lbs) but I have found this on other color lasers as well.
The only downsides I have found is yes this is a power hog and I wish samsung had made the waste toner bottle a litte bigger (expect to replace it with the cartriges)
Overall though for the price I feel this is the best one out there right now, if you want to do pictures by an inkjet, if you want to balance price with quality to get maximum DOCUMENT output this is for you.

Why does this review say 18 of 18 people found it helpful when I voted it unhelpful?
I suspect the author of this review had not owned the printer for very long.
Prospective buyers please read all the reviews for your own sake, not just the top few.
