Review summary: Dell's All-in-One 922 uses the same engine, drivers, and case as the Lexmark X5270, and not surprisingly the two models performed almost identically in our tests. Recently Dell dropped the price on 922 from $119 to $79.

Verdict: The case is small and sleek, but the lid to the flatbed scanner feels flimsy and light. The console offerings are bare-bones; for example, it lacks an LCD panel where you can set the number of copies, change the copy quality settings, and so on. Next ...

Pros: Cheap, fast scan time

Cons: Slightly slow image printing, poor colour graphics

Verdict: This inexpensive MFP would fit well in a home where fast and easy operation is important and image quality is secondary.

Review summary: If you want a fast scanner that produces high-quality prints, this is the one. But for overall speed and fax capabilities, look elsewhere.

Pros: Pocket-friendly size and weight, Integrated Bluetooth, Camera with "flash", Operator customisable via the Now! screen, Helpful desktop preview option for copies and scans, Fine print and scan quality, Affordable tri-colour ink, Includes PaintShop Pro ...

Cons: Operator customisable (will operators lock the Now! screen?), Some of the (plentiful) file viewers are impractical, Low print speed, No media card slots, Awkwardly positioned LCD, Limited OS compatibility, Limited fax ability

Verdict: If you want a fast scanner that produces high-quality prints, this is the one. But for overall speed and fax capabilities, look elsewhere...
