Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had my last Epson printer for ten years or more. Nice compact product. It prints quickly. I haven't had it long enough to comment on all of its features, but I expect it to keep on performing well.

--- SETUP --- The process for setting up the printer takes around 15 minutes. It’s quick to fill each ink tank with ink. However, there is an ink process that takes 11 minutes alone. The good thing is that, while that is happening, you can use the app to do other things you need to make the printer functional, like connect it to your WiFi setup. --- FEATURES --- This printer allows you to scan, copy, and wirelessly print from a computer or your phone. It is also cartridge free, so the ink goes directly into ink tanks inside the printer. --- PERFORMANCE --- The printer is made for home use, so the review will reflect home use. Note that there is a difference between home use and home office use. This review is specifically for home only. The Epson 2800 can print around 10 pages of black and white or 5 colored pages per minute. One color picture took around 4 minutes on an 8 ½ by 11 inch ultra premium glossy paper. The photo image came out pretty close to the picture I sent from my phone. As far as printing documents on regular paper, the printer is top notch in the quality department. I was able to get 10 pages of black and white and 5 pages of colored paper within a minute's time. Scanning worked great too and I was able to send the image to my computer. I recommend you download the Epson suite for the printer to give you these advanced features. Other than that, this printer doesn’t have many bells and whistles but it will save you on buying ink, as a pack of colored ink bottles comes out to around 45 bucks and the black ink bottle comes out to 20 dollars. The ink is to last you for 2 years and can be refilled before the entire ink tank is consumed, so you can always have backup ink saved when you need it most. --- EXPECTATIONS --- For the price, I would have expected this printer to have a front or rear loading paper tray. Instead, it has a paper feed where you can fit 100 regular sheets of paper that will be visible the entire time. Because of this, the printer is also only capable of printing single-sided. Though this is meant for home use, in today’s age, most people have a use for double-sided printing. For the price, I feel like both of these lacking features will be a disappointment to consumers. Essentially, what ends up happening is that you are paying a higher price upfront for the printer but end up saving in the long run if you keep the printer long enough. Think back to your last printer. If you had that for more than 2 years, then this would be a good investment for you. In my experience, though I do have printers at home that have lasted more than 2 years, I don’t think I’ve consumed 2 years worth of ink from them. The higher upfront cost doesn’t justify the savings that this printer will bring. --- APPROVAL --- The Epson printer will serve the needs of students or people who don’t print large quantities of paper at once and also don’t need to print double-sided. If you are one of the above, then this printer is for you.

This printer is easy to set up and use. No special apps to download, print straight from your phone. I was hesitant at first, because it has liquid ink that you pour into the tank, but it is very simple and mess-free. I totally recommend this product to anyone needing a printer.

Having grown up with ink jet, i was curious and pleasantly surprised with the concept of the ink tanks. Setting up the printer via the app for mobile printing was very simple and straight forward. each step was walked through one at a time as if you were chatting with customer service (see picture). Prints really well and is easy to use from mobile and computer. It is pretty slow to print when printing colour, but i may be spoiled from coming from laser. I had switched to laser some years ago because of how irregularly i'd print things. With kids getting older and in school, i've been using it more for work sheets and what not. Curious to find out how long the ink lasts in these tanks compared to cartridges. The control panel is easy to use and navigate, but feels flimsy and i find myself holding it up while i press a button since its on a hinged panel. Would feel more confident if it was sturdier, especially because since kids would be using this, i'd worry they may push too hard and potentially damage it. I also wish the paper feed was a little larger. with the load tray being out the top of the printer it doesn't have as much room to hold paper as say a printer where you can leave a whole pack on the bottom and have it print and output the page through the top overall there are a lot of features and if you need colour, then its definitely a good option. Since you don't need special cartridges, i imagine that will open up the alternatives for ink refills, but you may not want to bother since these bottles are really reasonably priced and should last a long time anyways.

This unit is fantastic. Super easy set-up. Great wi-fi connection. Wife LOVES the wireless connection to her laptop.... so i am very happy too!

An awesome that js very easy to use and set up, allowing you to make your own t shirts, cups, stickers and so much more! My fiancée was very pleased!

Good for printing bad if you wanna scan. Only lets you top scan and not back load. Therefore, you'll have to flip and scan each document one by one. Very time consuming if you have many documents. I've had other printers that scanned from back loading.

Very happy with this printer so far. Easy to set up and prints a lot more pages than printers I have had in the past.

This was quick and simple to set up. So far we have had no issues and it's kinda neat to be able to print docs and photos from our cellphones!

I’ve owned several printers throughout the years ranging from high-end commercial units to entry-level home models and the Epson EcoTank ET-2800 stands out as one of the more budget-friendly printers with great print output for its class. This is an entry-level printer, so naturally, there are limitations. It’s not a photo printer, so you can’t expect professional-grade image prints. It doesn’t support duplex (double-sided) printing and it prints slower than my other printers. It doesn’t have many advanced features. However, it still delivers impressive performance for my needs. The print quality is clean and sharp for everyday use, making it a great option for small business owners like me who need to print flyers, stickers, and documents without investing in a high-end machine. The cost of the ink is the selling point of this printer. It is cost-effective, easy to maintain with refillable tanks, and perfect for light to moderate printing needs. For its price point, this printer is absolutely worth it.

I’ve never owned a printer that I’ve been happy with. They get outdated quick, ink/toner is expensive, software issues, or printer head clogs. So far this one had functioned as expected. I was disappointed that it doesn’t print on both sides, It didn’t occur to me that this wasn’t a standard feature. Every printer I looked at printed double sided. My fault for failing to notice. Print quality is good. I have reservations about the ink tanks being built into the printer but hopefully this will continue to keep the price of refills low. All in all I’d say it performs as expected. In hindsight I would have paid more to have multi page scanning, double sided printing, and have the paper contained in a tray.

This printer is amazing and the ink goes a long way!! 10/10 Recommend!

This printer was extremely easy to set up and connect to the network. After it finished initializing, I was able to print documents without any issues. The print quality is great in black and white and in Color

Easy setup with App. Performs as advertised. It is user friendly unlike the printer I had previously.

These ecotank printers are really great! You just need to print something about once a week to keep the print head moist so it doesn't dry out but even doing that, the ink has lasted a long time! Highly recommend as a parent. For high quality photos, it's not fabulous but it's been good enough to print for pictures to put up around the house, in my opinion. Speed isn't bad for an inkjet. Touch screen needs improvement but it's no worse than my brother laser printer. Maybe the higher end models are better but it isn't worth it for me.

This printer is terrific !!!..I'm leagally blind and found fhe setup sooo easy!! Quiet, dependable and very attractive. You'd definately be missing out if you don,'t try this printer!!

Love this printer. Easy set up. Great price. Love being able to visualize the ink supply.

Hard to setup. Took a while to connect to wifi. Once I got it set-up its been a nice machine. Prints a bit loud and speed is average. The print is clear. Worth the purchase for light home kr small office printing.

This printer was easy to set ip and use. You can print documents from your phone with its wireless connection. Ink is more affordable.

The Epson ecotank ET-2800 printer is recommended and made for home use. This all-in-one printer is the lowest model in the Epson ecotank printer line up and you can definitely tell as it very cheaply made and had minimal features compared to the industry and it higher model Epson brothers and sisters. Please read below for my full review: Setup: I thought setup would be quick and easy as most printers are but this printer takes forever although it is still easy. I opted for the intial setup using my mobile device. Once you turn on the printer a QR code pops up on the screen and you can easily use your cell phones camera (Apple or Android) to start the process. The QR code brings you to download their app. I thought the setup was weird as Epson brought you through like a chat or text process. I'm sorry but I don't want to chat with my printer. Set up took almost 15+ minutes in total. Yes you read that right. After filling up the ink with the bottles it took 11 minutes for the printer to set itself up. Don't worry it counts it down for you. I know you only usually setup a printer once but it took forever and I don't want to do it again. Ink: The printer comes with 4 full bottles of 522 Epson ink (65ML each). Tons of ink, more than I have ever handled in an inkjet printer in my life. I plan for this ink to last a long time. Advertisement says up to 2 years but I am sure I will kill the ink before then. The bottles are designed to not make a mess and allow you to easily flip them into the printer tank slots/transfer ports. The printer will also stop think from flowing once each printer tank is full. Even after dumping the ink in I sill had a little bit in each bottle to top off the printer later (that was a surprise). I do have to say that it was not perfect as the printer did leak a little of the magenta ink on the magenta lid on the printer. I am not even sure how it did this but it did. Printer: This printer has minimal amount of features. It can print, copy, and scan but I feel as though that's all it can do. It is also equipped with wifi and mobile printing. BIGGEST FLAW: it only has single sided printing. This is horrible as most printers have this. The next models up are equipped with auto 2 sided printing so you will have to spend more to get this. The screen is super small. Actually the smallest colored screen I have ever seen at 1.44 inches. The screen is a waste and if I can barely read it at my young age then many others wont be able to read off it. The paper can only be loaded from the rear and looks like my printers from the 2000's. To a front loading paper tray you have to go a full models up and at this price range I think that is bazar. Almost all printers in this range have a front loading paper tray. I expect a rear paper tray (which is stinking out of my printer now and wasting space) on a $19.99 printer. Quality: This is where I feel like where they get you. Okay you are going to save all this money on ink, right? Well then they are going to give you the cheapest quality printer known to man. While not broken, there was plastic flap already off the printer which I discovered as soon as I opened the box. Everything on this printer is cheap and flimsy. I mean everything. I expect the ink to last longer than the printer.
