Title: If only I'd spent just a little bit more!
Product review: I was feeling broke when my fax died and I thought, why bother with one of those more expensive faxes? You just need a basic machine-- go for this one.Oy. Big mistake. I hate it. Instead of a tidy ink cartridge, you have to use a cumbersome Ink Film roll, which never goes in right, and when you finally do cram it in, it gets used up so quickly, you're always getting caught short.This is one of those moments when you realize the reason a machine is so [inexpensive] is because it is cheaply made. The plastic is flimsy, no parts line up quite the way they should.When this breaks, and I have no doubt that time will come soon enough, I will figure out other ways to economize-- and spring for a sturdier model. And absolutely one that does not rely on "patent pending" (why bother?) genuine Panasonic Ink Film.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
