Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bottom line: this is a printer, from arguably the best printer company in the world. The features and performance are everything I would expect, but the build quality makes me think consumer tech rather than “pro” grade. Printers have been around for a long time, so they’re pretty mature as a product category. Not a lot of innovation. So I was pleasantly surprised to see that this printer came with an app that is really good. Not only did it help streamline the setup process, it also offers a suite of productivity features that I didn’t even know I wanted. For example, I can scan/print from my phone from anywhere in the world. Having this app could change the way I think about using a printer! GETTING STARTED Out of the box, there were plenty of bits of tape and cardboard to remove. I opened and closed the many, many doors and drawers to try to find them all. One piece of tape was nearly hidden and hard to remove, but I’m sure it served some important purpose for shipping. As I was doing this, I noticed that some of these moving parts seemed more delicate than I expected. For a “Pro” labeled product that I’d like to be able to use regularly in my home office environment, I’d expect it to feel a bit sturdier. I can imagine some of the thin plastic flaps and adjustments breaking if I’m not careful. I expect this kind of build quality in a cheap consumer-grade product, but not something marketed for professional/office use. When I scanned the “get started” QR code, the first thing I got was a request to share personal data for targeted ads. Is that really necessary, or can HP just let me learn how to use the printer? Even so, HP did not require me to make an account or disclose any onerous personal data before starting to use the printer. There’s an online setup guide (complete with a video showing how to read the guide), and there’s an app to streamline the configuration. Of course the app tried to upsell me on their ink subscription service, but it didn’t force me to sign up for anything. OPERATION HP consistently makes high quality printers, and my first prints were no exception. It seems like it takes about 2 minutes to get ready (was it warming up? Cleaning the print heads?) before it will print anything, but after that prints are pretty quick. About 10 seconds to print a page of text. A color photocopy took about 15-20 seconds total (scanning and printing). Colors are slightly faded but very close: without seeing the original and copy side by side it’s hard to tell which is which. I didn’t test the fax feature since it’s not 1992, but hey, it can do fax! How about that! Probably the biggest issue for me is cost of operation. And that’s hard to judge until I’ve had the printer for a year or two. I’ve had printers in the past where ink would dry up in the cartridges, clog, or get streaks, requiring a replacement cartridge much more frequently than ideal. I really hope that’s not the case with this printer, but time will tell. My experience so far is that the cartridges seem to be of good quality, and I had no trouble installing them and aligning them out of the box. Hopefully they’ll hold up. Even in the best case, replacement HP ink is expensive. For this printer, the cost is estimated at 11c per page for black or 36c for color—just for ink alone. Of course the actual cost depends on the prints and on how often they need premature replacement (see above). HP offers an ink subscription service, too, which could theoretically be cheaper for some use cases. Unfortunately, HP has added DRM to lock the printer to new or refurbished HP ink cartridges, which means I’m pretty much stuck using HP-branded ink. So, using this printer is not exactly a budget-friendly proposition. Print quality: 5/5 Build quality: 4/5 Software quality: 5/5 Cost to print: 2/5

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8135 Wireless AI-Enabled All-in-One Inkjet Printer with 3 Months of Instant Ink is a sturdy and robust machine capable of printing 20,000 pages/month (but recommended to print no more than 800), designed for home office or small business use. I am finding that it is also great for a home printer. A bonus with this is that it comes with 3 months of FREE Instant Ink, if you want it. If you sign up for a plan, HP will automatically send ink when you have surpassed their pre-established page counts. If you sign up for a plan, you will estimate your monthly printed page count and choose the appropriate plan. After your initial 3 months, you will pay for the plan monthly, but they don't send the ink monthly - you will get ink when you've reached the page limit. This printer uses HP923 ink and comes with 4 "starter" cartridges. Once you download the HP app, you can easily do the printer setup. The app found the new printer quickly and joined my wifi without my even having to enter my wifi password. It has dual-band wifi so you don't have to search for the right band - it just connects. The 4 ink cartridges were very easy to install. As for the printer itself, it is an All In One printer - you can print, copy, scan and fax (fax only if you have a phone line, although you are able to send a fax via the app, but you are not able to receive faxes). I found the print quality to be surprisingly good. It is relatively quick to print with an estimated 20 pages/minute with black, and 10 pages/minute color. For my speed test, I printed 4 copies of a 2 sided full page text document from my iPhone in 1 minute and 20 seconds. So this does print fairly quickly but it is also rather noisy. HP knows this and that's why they have a "quiet mode" that you can schedule for certain hours of the day. It will print slower so that will cause it to be quieter. This printer has a 35 page auto document feeder (ADF) which works well for me and hasn't jammed at all. While you can print a 2 sided document, you cannot automatically copy/scan 2 sided documents. That is important to note and for me, I am disappointed I didn't get the model up (9125) that has that ability. I want to be able to stack and scan documents I need scanned whether they are one or two sided documents. This is not intended to be a photo printer, but I used it for that and the quality was good, though not great. You can use numerous sizes of paper, envelopes, etc. with this up to legal size - 8-1/2x14. You can print, but you cannot copy that large because the scanner bed is approx. 8-1/2x11. You can only have 1 type of paper loaded at a time in the 225 sheet capacity easy to access and load paper tray. You can print wirelessly via mobile printing, computer or USB. Yes, this includes a USB-A port. And this has a 2.7" color touchscreen which I really like. My last printer wasn't touch screen and that is such a hassle. This simplifies the changing of settings a great deal. Overall, I think this is a great printer. It is very solid and all aspects perform very well. It can't automatically copy/scan 2 sided documents, but that's not it's fault - this model wasn't built for that. The only deduction I have is the noise. This is a quality machine that I would highly recommend.

Review of HP OfficeJet Pro 8135 AIO Printer At first, the latest HP OfficeJet Pro 8135 All in One Printer is practical offering good features for small office or for home for quick scanning, non mass printing, reasonable trail size to keep papers ready for printing. Out of box, it comes what manufacturer’s inkjet: - 1 HP 923 Setup Black Ink Cartridge, - 1 HP 923 Setup Cyan Ink Cartridge, - 1 HP 923 Setup Magenta Ink Cartridge, - 1 HP 923 Setup Yellow Ink Cartridge. Then, the printer, charging cable, and manual. Setting up is the same process as most of brand and this case doesn’t differ at all. It requires to download HP Printer app, have user id created, then add to the application. From the control display, screen size of 2.7 inch, include features to for network setup, copy, scan, print, and fax. The physical buttons are buttons for Back, Power, Home, and Help. It includes port 2 x USB-2.0 (1 at back, 1 at front side), 1 Ethernet LAN Port, and 1 RJ-11 Fax/Phone. Definition of scanning and printing: - Scan Hardware Up to 1200 x 1200 dpi - Scan Optical Up to 1200 x 12000 dpi for Black - Print - 4800 x 1200 dpi for Color Once it is setup properly, it is discovered automatically from the PC or Mac, or Mobile Phone (in my case iPhone on latest OS version). The experience of printing and scanning are not very different than usual neither its initial setup. But its capabilities to print from the desk, or from Mobile is practical. Its app had recent update though and made it better usability and to scan from the phone and print directly for instance. Now, it is a printer that does perform at the level of expectation of what it should do at least, and does more than that. Good quality, and responsive to the print or scanning action . What I find friction to rely on HP Printers is its their dependency to subscribe to HP+. Once the inkjet is fully used and at the time of replacement, it requires to be subscribed to use HP ink. Otherwise, as it is fully connected to the HP control via cloud, the printing function is blocked. Even though HP states as feature it can be used without HP+ Subscription, in this case it take some stress to deal with the situation resulting forced to be subscribed. For final line, in overall it is perfect for the use case of minor to mid range printing and scanning activities. But the condition of subscription make a bit hard to make the printer perfect.

This printer has everything that I was looking for in a printer with my primary needs being wireless printing and ink efficiency. This printers really has been checking all my boxes, when it comes to printers it is very hard to differentiate your product as HP seems to have the market cornered. That said, when using this printer the wireless printing is a game changer. I can easily print from my phone or laptop with ease (assuming you are on the same WIFI network). From a functionality standpoint this printer can churn out 2 sided printing and up to 20 pages per minute. It has the ability to copy, scan and fax too, outside of the standard printing function. Ink efficiency is top notch too on this printer. Its said to save up to 50% on ink spend when using their monthly ink subscription model. This is a game changer as now I do not need to hastily order ink on a whim, as long as my subscription is intact I will always be stocked up on ink. In summary, this printer is pretty standard, it is an all in one so it has many functions outside of standard printing. If you are in the need for a well built printer with all the bells and whistles then I would recommend this model!

I've been using the HP8135 in my office for several days now. This printer is much more at home in an office, as it's a bit of a beast in size and the dark/light gray color won't win it any design contests. In the box - HP 8135 OfficeJet Pro - Power Cable - 3 x color ink (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta) - 1 x black cartridge Setup is easy, HP have really improved their app and setup process compared to a few generations ago. I was able to get it setup on the office WiFi and connect to it from my Windows Laptop with no issues. There's a nice full color LCD screen on the left hand side, that's tilt adjustable. So all in, easy to read and manage settings. The reason why the OfficeJet Pro 8135 is so big is it's true duplex printer. This is great if you were like me last week, printing a report to edit and review for a client. Print speed for black and white was about 21-22 pages per minute in my tests. Which is fast (I think) for an inkjet. I only did limited color printing so far, so can't tell the print speed on color (I was printing basic charts, nothing fancy). While the HP 8135 prints duplex, the scanner is not but it does have a document feeder. Scan quality is good. You can't load up a lot of paper in the scanner, but it's great if you have 10 or so pages and don't want to be constantly opening a scanner lid and loading new paper. What could be better, is that the paper tray doesn't hold a full ream of paper. I am honestly a little disappointed that HP doesn't make the paper tray bigger. It fits about half a ream. Like most HP printers these days, the 8135 is an Instant Ink model. I've kind of made peace with InstantInk. The prices are OK if you know your print load. For what it's worth, you can only use HP printer ink in the 8135. The cartridge version is 923, but at least you get they are all independent cartridges so you're not paying for a 3 colors if you only run out of red. The black is also double the size of the color cartridges. Overall, this is another great printer from HP. If the tray could load a full ream of paper I would be much happier. PS. I'd actually recommend this over HP's Envy series of printers. The OfficeJet Pro 8135 has separate ink tanks vs Envy models, which I think HP only has a feature on office printers.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8135 Wireless AI-Enabled All-in-One Inkjet Printer comes with 3 months of free Instant Ink delivery with an HP subscription for instant ink. It’s a great concept if you print a lot of pages per month, a very convenient feature where the HP software will know when you’re running low on ink and will automatically ship you the cartridge that needs replacement. It’s a convenient way to get authentic HP ink cartridges without lifting a finger. In terms of unboxing and setup, it’s very straight forward like all other environmentally friendly HP products. This is an all-in-one printer that would make a great addition to your home office or even small business. It includes a scanner and a 35-page automatic document feeder. Setup wise, I already had HP Smart software downloaded and installed from having other HP printers connected, but if you don't already have it, expect the download and install to take at least a few minutes. You can also scan the QR code with your phone to download the iOS or Android App that you can use to setup, print, copy and even scan or fax from your phone. The built-in 2.7” color touch-screen LCD is very intuitive, with a smart-phone like interface. You can access all settings and information from the LCD. The print speed increased over previous year’s models - an impressive 20ppm in black, and 10 ppm in color. Two-sided printing is automatic but can also be turned off for any document. Printing in color can go up to an impressive resolution of 4800x1200dpi. A new feature this year is print formatting with HP AI optimization for Windows 11 that automatically removes unwanted content and blank spaces, so your prints don’t waste paper or ink. This OfficeJet Pro 8135 has great connectivity options - I tested wired Ethernet, WiFi, Apple AirPrint. Also compatible with most modern Operating systems and mobile devices. I use multiple Windows 11 PCs, Chrome books, Android tablets and phones and an iPad, all printed and scanned flawlessly. If you’re looking for a mid-range, All-in-one printer from the #1 printer company, this HP OfficeJet Pro 8135 is a great reliable choice.

I'm always on the lookout for another decent printer as I feel printers are some of the most difficult pieces of computer hardware and I've never really understood why. Packaging: I have to say, the packaging is quite good, the shipping company that delivered this managed to bust open the box all across the top, down the side and get it wet yet the printer works great, so that must be a testament to how well it's packaged. It is in there with foam and appropriate literature and the printer itself, nothing really extra, but it is packed well, so that's a good thing to know. Use: Installation is straightforward, it does request you sign up for the HP automatic ink delivery and I have to say I'm not a fan, if you sign up for it, the cartridges themselves are essentially "connected" if you cancel before you use up the cartridges, no matter how much ink is left, the cartridges stop working, same goes for if you print more than your plan allows for. Maybe I'm old school but I would prefer to just buy cartridges outright. As for the quality, it's very good, everything printed comes out extremely well. Scanning and copying is the same, it works well with very little issues, though you do need to use the HP software which works well enough. Overall: If you need to always be sure you have ink, the HP ink plan is a good option, the printer prints well and has all the functions you might need. But if you're an old school ink purist then another might do better.

I have been using the HP OfficeJet Pro 8135 All-in-One Printer for a few days, and it works great. The quality of the prints is outstanding, and the overall features that it comes with serve me very well for my home office. One of the things I really like about this printer is that it is designed for professional-quality color printing. Whether I am printing business documents, reports, presentations, flyers, or regular home office paperwork, the prints come out sharp, clean, and well-formatted. The print speed is also impressive, with up to 10 pages per minute in color and 20 pages per minute in black, which makes it very convenient when I need documents quickly. The upgraded features make this printer even more useful. It can print, scan, copy, and fax, and it also includes automatic two-sided printing, an automatic document feeder, and a 225-sheet input tray. These features make daily office tasks much easier and help me stay productive without constantly refilling paper or manually handling every page. I also appreciate the HP AI feature, which helps produce perfectly formatted prints from web pages and emails. It removes unwanted content and helps prevent wasted pages or awkward layouts, so the final print looks exactly how I want it. Wireless printing is another major benefit, as the reliable dual-band Wi-Fi keeps the printer connected and automatically detects and resolves connection issues. The HP app is very convenient because I can print, scan, copy, or fax directly from my smartphone. The 2.7-inch color touchscreen is also easy to use, with a simple phone-like interface that makes navigation quick and straightforward. Overall, I am very pleased with the HP OfficeJet Pro 8135 All-in-One Printer. It is fast, reliable, easy to use, and packed with helpful features.

Wow, this is a very capable printer with a solid feel and all the functions you most likely need. I especially like the multi-page copy/scan feeder. I decided to use the new HP App on an Android phone to install this printer. HP Smart is being phased out and although my laptop still would need HP Smart, the phone made a flawless install with the new HP App. The process is very well defined and steps you through the install from start to alignment to printing a test-page. Afterwards I did use the HP Smart app on my laptop, and it also went smoothly. I printed test-files from both my phone and the laptop and the connectivity was instant in both cases. The colors really popped. Printing is fast and more crisp on this level printer, I definitely felt it was worth a little extra to spend to get a much more refined printing experience. I already have other HP printers, but this one is by far my best. I always take advantage of the HP-Ink offer and registered this printer and this registration/sign-up is handled effortlessly during the install. I do think the HP-Ink process is a no brainer and works very well to ensure you have new cartridges when you need them (and at a lower cost). This printer handles scanning, copying and printing for all my needs including making another copy using the multi-page feeder for my 20-page income tax document. This printer is also HP AI-enabled. This means it can reformat emails and web pages to fit your paper by removing ads you don’t need printed and also removes blank spaces. This can save ink and paper. I tried this and it worked. Tip of my cap to the HP engineers for this technology. This printer feels solid and works beautifully I’m really happy with this great printer at a very reasonable cost and highly recommend it.

HP LaserJetPro 8130 is a great printer. The box and packaging was really good. Everything well packed and compartmentalized. Foam inserts around the printer kept the printer in place without ability to move inside the box until it was unpackaged. HP Smart App is being replaced with HP App, but hasn't been released to Windows 11 yet. The smart App works as expected without fail. I plugged the printer in after unpacking the tape and cardboard pieces from the tray. Downloaded the app and added the new printer. It walked me through the setup process. Added the ink, and loaded the paper. Ran the alignment page and then scanned it without an issue. Scanning pages and copying pages is a snap. Used the scanning app, also using the copy function. Quick and easy. Interface on the computer in the app is self explanatory. Quality of the print is very good. Color print was also easy to setup and dries quickly. Double sided print was of high quality. No Run through on the printed pages. I would highly recommend this printer. The speed at which it prints, the high quality of the printed material, loading paper and scanning and copying are a very big plus with this printer.

It is finally time for me to get another printer. I have had a HP printer for a while now and love it, so I was not hesitant to get this printer. My favorite future is connecting with my phone and being able to print pages directly from my phone. My father-in-law uses his phone to print his work schedule every evening and enjoys that he does not need to use a PC to do so. We also have been using HPs auto send cartridges. I believe they have a couple options. My wife mainly deals with all of that as she prints more often. I enjoy how fast this is as well. If black and white it does about 20 pages per minute. Color is about 10. It also auto flips and does both sides. Same with copying. The tray holds just over 200 pieces of paper. I also like that it's on the lower profile side but still does what more bulky printers do. If I did have to complain about something, I would say the built-in screen is on the smaller size. I would personally like to see it a little larger. But overall, impressed with its size and its performance.

My pool turned 24 years old this season. I’ve had the same cleaning machine the entire time. Each year I complain about wanting to replace it with something better. This year it finally happened. Say hello to the Wybot - C2 ProVis Robot Pool Cleaner and it’s brother the Wybot -F1 Robotic Pool Skimmer. I’ve never had a skimmer before; beyond the manual net that I would drag around with me each time I climbed in. This should be fun: a proper robot cleaner! And it comes with Bluetooth connectivity and a SmartPhone app. Welcome to the future! Did somebody say solar panels???!!!!!! I was excited to get this thing out of the box and into the water so I used the power cord to charge it for its initial charge and initial setup to connect it to the smartphone app, but since than I’ve never plugged this back in to charge. Solar power is neat and not having to worry “did I charge this thing” is amazing. This skimmer looks pretty amazing as it hovers on the surface of the pool and pulls the leaves and surface gunk into its bowels. My favorite part about this thing is that I no longer have to drag a skimmer net with me before each plunge into the pool. That alone makes it worth using. I’m not sure why I waited this long to add a skimmer to the pool but I’m happy I did.
