Title: Buyer Beware
Product review: Pros: Many features and a low price.Cons: You get what you pay for.We purchased this product because it seemed to have the most "bang-for-the-buck." Combo color inkjet printer, copier, flatbed scanner, fax machine for $80 (on sale) at Staples. Seemed too good to be true.Well...it was. The print heads have to be cleaned every few days - it takes about 5 minutes to finish - else the output is crummy. This is a real pain, especially when you are in a rush to print something out. Never had any problems with any of the HP products (2 laserjets and 1 inkjet) that I have owned over the past 15 years.Once the printer heads are clean, the overall performance of the MFC-5100C is adequate. The scanner resolution/quality is nothing the write home about and the printer output is not outstanding (even when set to the highest quality) but is ok for most of our needs.Now would I purchase this unit if I had to do it all over again? Probably not. I'd probably spend more money and buy an HP.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
