I considered comparable multifunction machines from HP & Brother. Both were more expensive and did not offer flat top scanning/copying which was important to me. Therefore, I went with Samsung. After one month of use, I am completely satisfied with Samsung. It is compact, looks very nice, does everything more than adequately. Print quality seems good. First copy takes 10-15 seconds warm up time but then it is blazing fast. It is a bit noisy when printing. Also, the original ink cartridge lasted surprisingly short time. My guess is that it was just a "start-up" cartridge, not "full size" one.All in all, a very good buy for the money.
