Should You Buy A Hp Smart Tank Printer?

Should you buy a Hp Smart Tank printer mode? In this video I talk about two Hp smart tank models, the Hp smart tank 551 and the Hp smart tank 651. I review the pros and cons of each printer and give my opinion of what I think about each model.

These major printer brands came up with these ink tank printers only because for several years prior many third party modders came up with this idea. They would attach several ink tanks (albeit a bit awkwardly) to the side of the printer and the heads would draw ink directly from those tanks. If it weren't for those modders we'd still be stuck with those ink cartridges that cost way too much. Whatever excuse the printer makers had back then to justify the price of ink cartridges, these ink tank printers PROVE that they've been feeding us a lot of BS all these years.

Dear Brandon, I truly appreciate your honesty and thank you for your good work.

I’ve been through a few bad printers in my life but I really like my HP plus 551. HOWEVER, I had the hardest time setting it up wirelessly. I bought it two years ago. I don’t feel like going through the hassle of trying again or calling customer service to be honest. But I LOVE not wasting money on ink anymore! 🙌🏻 My best investment on a printer.

Good day, I just have a query about HP ink tank. What is the process of waste ink collection of this printer? Unlike Canon, Epson or Brother, they have a maintenance cartridge or waste ink box that collects the waste ink once they perform head cleaning. And what is the advantage of this to other brands? Thanks for the reply. More power

The HP Smart app is simply the best app in its class, hands down. This app alone differentiates HP from the rest of the pack. The app has many useful features that anyone can use, even if you don't own an HP printer.

[davidisthis]

I think you explain a bit backwards. Do you really believe that Cartridge printers were used before tank printers? It doesn't have anything to do with the feedback. They created the cartridges to make more money. The fact the ink is so expensive was a great success, not a failure.

When you walk in stores, most printers with high stock level left are HP printers but no one really buys them. All hoarders buy all epson or brother printers and sell them at very hefty prices online. None left in the stores. But no one hoards HP to sell at a higher price because no one wants HP printer. So problematic. Software is a crap. So is the hardware. For Canon, it is the most expensive of all four so not much on sale in-stores except for the lowest variant cheaper printers. Not much hoarding too for Canon in this case. I regret buying HP. So expensive yet quality is very poor.

My opinion I am no expert. I like simple. I like basic. I don’t need all the bells and whistles just more crap to go wrong, phone holders etc. just make it work well make it last. Functionality.

I have had two HP3525 multifunctional deskjet ink advantage printers. The first-the printer head was dead after under 200 A4 printed pages. The second, first died the scanner, maybe after 100 scans. I have replaced it with the scan assembly from the first dead printer. After max 700 A4 printed pages, died the head printer. One set of ink cartridges = 250 lei (Romanian currency). I have bought the printers with 450 lei each. So, my next printer will be not a HP one, maybe a Canon CISS one. I like the specifications of HP CISS printers, but I am not satisfied about their fiability.

Summary for the 15 minutes: only 2 offerings, an exploration of the market to see use traction. Epson slightly more mature. Applicable to both "It may fit your needs, it may not". Until the market matures a little with some healthy competition it'll remain that way of course.

HP has launched a few more models of Smart Tank printers. What's your review regarding HP Smart Tank 720 model?

[moritajm]

What I would really like to heard is advantage or disadvantage about hp using removable print heads vs non removable, which one last longer or has less maintenance for instance, quality etc etc

[evandrinks]

I would agree that an Epson EcoTank is probably a better choice. I would go for the Epson because of the far more durable micro piezo Epson printheads. In the HP and Canon, the thermal printheads in their tank printers are usually not as high quality or long lasting. Great video!

[spaceseti]

well HP Tank 790 is brilliant cost and quality wise

[RizaGunturPrakoso]

You should test HP Smart Tank 670 and up, because their printheads are better than lower tier HP Smart Tank (like 615 and HP Ink Tank models 400 and down). In your country such models are marked by faster print speeds.

I just got officejet 9010. Should i return it and buy this? I need to save the money of the expensive inks... I use it for home

[davidpeters]

I have HP Officejet Pro 8600 that has stopped printing and it tells me to stop and restart. Than it says if this doesn’t work unplug it from the outlet and wait awhile and plug it in and restart. Still doesn’t print. What is wrong and how to fix it?

[AbdulKhan-otxl]

Too much verbage but no substance. Tired of listening to his long comments. Wanted to know differences between Smart HP 7301 vs 7302. Too confusing.Repeating the same thing over and over, wanted to click link button out any useful information.

[Sheseekshim_]

Tha k you for being so helpful 🙏🏽 heading over to your espon video now!

[Shelzbells]

I have always been a fan of the HP printers. But wanted to switch to an Epson Ecotank...UNTIL I heard about Epsons "end of life error" have you heard of this problem?
