Summary: Horrible Answer Machine/Great Fax
Comment: If the answer machine feature isn't essential, the fax is great. If you don't give a fig who is calling or care to hear messages, this is the machine for you. You will never have to return a call agin because you won't be able to understand a single word of the digitally recorded message. Thank goodness for caller ID -- it provides a tiny clue.

Summary: Great features, great price, horrible speakerphone
Comment: This machine is great looking, compact, and seems to be the perfect combination fax/answering machine/speakerphone. One major problem: The phone is well below average in sound quality, and the speaker is absolutely terrible. The tiny, poorly made speaker is placed in the back left side of the unit and and is totaly inaudible at loud volumes due to distortion. The fax is great, the print quality is great, the speed is great, but you have to lower the volume and lean over with your head against the speaker to hear messages. This problem also renders the speakerphone useless. I returned this unit twice thinking it was defective, but spoke to HP and was told that is just the way this unit works. Buy the Panasonic KX-FHD351 if you need a great sounding unit. The only problem with the Panasonic is that it doesn't come in black, but is a much better phone/answering/speakerphone.

Summary: Great fax for the price
Comment: This is a nice fax from HP. The styling and color lend to its use in any office decor. Instead of using thermal paper or ribbon it utilizes thermal inkjet technology which is way better than the ribbon cartridges of yesteryear.
The footprint of the unit is small making it a perfect companion for the corporate office or the SOHO. Easy to use features make setting up the unit a snap. And its built-in copy facility mitigates the need for a separate copier.
All in all, a great machine at a great price that will meet the needs and budget of most people.

Summary: Great Little Fax
Comment: One word ~ Efficient!
We needed a good fax machine without all the bells & whistles on many faxes these days, and this one caught our eye. We have been very happy with this product and would highly recommend it!

Summary: No problems so far
Comment: I've only had it 2 days but I sent a fax and the speed seemed good to me, way faster that the Brother Fax machine I had. I made a copy of a detailed set of instructions and the copy came out just as good as the original, (this was all on the default settings, I changed nothing). The answering machine is working fine and the messages are clear. Setting the machine up was easy enough, everything you need is in the box. I have not "recieved" a fax yet to rate that but if it works as good as the rest has so far I'm sure it will be fine. The only thing I dont care for is the fact that there is no recieving paper tray. So you'll need a little room in front of the machine or your fax /copies will end up on the floor. We had the 1040 model at work and when you answer the phone there is a short delay from the time you pick up the reciever to when you can actually hear the person on the other line, I have not noticed any of that with this machine. So far I'm perfectly happy with this machine. Not counting the paper tray issue.
