Compare Prices : HP Officejet 5610

Review summary: As a MFU it not only prints, scans, copies but also for those who still require it can send and receive faxes. The latter is the difference between an MFU and a All In One.

Verdict: It is 44x42x24cm and weights only around 6kilos. The name sort of gives it away as an office product but that normally means expensive but you should be able to find it for less than three figures as the HP guide is £99 including VAT. It has both ...

Review summary: The 5610 is a quick copier too, though if you're after top speeds then a higher-priced laser all-in-one is probably a wiser choice.

Verdict: The Officejet 5610 is an ideal buy for small or home offices in need of a competent, compact all-in-one.

Pros: The HP 5610 is inexpensive and small, and it prints well ;

Cons: The HP 5610 uses expensive ink ; has poor scan quality ; prints slowly ; has no PictBridge port or memory-card readers ;

Verdict: 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.

Review summary: This is a Multi Function Machine " as opposed to an All In One " simply as it also has a fax built in, so it's a printer, scanner, copier and fax in a single unit.

Verdict: Fax sending and receiving is something that is not as important to most as it once was, however it worked efficiently. I was pleased to have an on/off switch but of course the unit would have to be left on to receive faxes
