Customer Ratings & Reviews

For a budget all-in-one, I'm really impressed with this printer. My last few printers have been higher end Epson photo AIOs and they have served me pretty well, but when my last one quit on me (after close to 10 years!), money was a little tight and I just needed the basics. I was skeptical of a printer costing less than half the price of my last 3, but I simply didn't need all the bells and whistles and I urgently needed to print stuff! I had this delivered same-day from my local store to save me a trip ($10 well spent for me!), and setup went MOSTLY smooth. I'll elaborate. I hate wireless connections for things that don't ever move and this is why. My previous printer used a wired ethernet connection which this printer does not have and I have long since lost a super-long USB cable I'd used with printers in the past, so I was stuck with Wi-fi for now. I got connected great and everything worked at first, but I kept losing connection. The answer is - don't turn the printer off. It goes into standby and stays connected, and since I quit turning it off, it has worked every time I've printed for the last couple weeks with no problems. The downside of this is that every time my power goes out (which happens every week or two around here), I expect the printer to stop working and I'm going to have to reconnect it to my Wi-fi. I'm not a fan of USB to be honest (wiggle it, it's broken, wiggle again, it's fixed), but I WILL be getting a long USB cable to keep the printer hard-wired. I think it IS possible to set up a static IP address and blah-blah-blah but who really wants to go down that rabbit hole? I don't have that kind of time. That is just stuff to keep IT people employed. For myself at home, I'd rather just buy a long cable. I don't really like the rear tray paper loading. It's going to sit there gathering dust and will pretty much require pulling the paper out if I want to put a dust cover on the printer (if you have a cat, you will understand...), but it works. Those are really my only complaints though. I seldom print photos these days, and while I used to print CDs/DVDs a lot, I don't feel the need to pay extra for a printer that will do that anymore. I haven't tried printing any photos with this printer, but from what I've seen, I think it would do a sufficient job with the 4 inks rather than the 6 that I'm used to. Quality of text printouts is excellent if you tweak the settings a little. I've been very pleased with the print quality overall. As long as it stays connected, this is a great little printer. If I find myself really NEEDING the features of a fancier printer, I'll upgrade and maybe move this one to my workshop, but it's doing everything I need it to do right now and for the price paid, I'm very happy with it. One kind of quirky thing that I actually really like - my old printer would automatically extend the output tray when I would print something. In my tight quarters in my house, this kind of got in the way. This printer requires you to pull the output tray out manually, so when I print, my pages just spit out onto the floor. That might be an issue for some, but I actually like it. No tray to push back in to keep my girlfriend from running into it when she walks by the printer! If I'm printing more than one page, I'll gladly pull out the tray to catch the sheets, but often I'm only printing a single page (recipes and lists!) and I actually don't mind picking it up off of the floor, due to our space constraints. I'm also really pleased to see automatic double sided printing in a printer at this price point. I can do without a lot of bells and whistles, but that is a required feature for me. I have not tried the scanner yet. I need a scanner about twice a year usually, but when I need it - I need it. I haven't seen a scanner that wouldn't do everything I need since the early 90's (does anyone remember greyscale or dithered monotone "hand scanners"? Yep, I used 'em), so I'm confident that it will serve my needs. As long as you can keep a reliable connection, this printer is excellent for every-day home use and I've been very pleased with the print quality. This is not meant for large documents or office use, but when you just need to occasionally print/scan a document or two, this thing is a clear winner. I paid the same price for printers years ago that wouldn't do half of what this printer does. It's a great home unit that will serve most people very well.

This printer works really well, was easy to connect to my computer, and is just the right size for my small home office area.

Easy setup and printing is extremely satisfied pictures print and forms

Solid scanner/printer: easy to use, easy maintenance. Thanks!

Works well, easy setup, great value for the price.

Easy set up and works great. The value is great for price

Really great value, easy setup, does exactly what I want it to

Easy set up, great price, it works really well. I'm happy with it, at least so far.

Easy to setup. Ive had it for a month and for the money it works very well. I just use it for at home printing

Not a bad printer. Works quickly, easy to use, ink a little pricy but overall I am satisfied with this purchase.

I’ve been really happy with the Epson Expression Home XP-4200. It’s compact, easy to set up, and prints quality documents and photos. The all-in-one feature makes scanning and copying super convenient. Definitely a great choice for home use!

Excellent! Simple, easy to use, easy to replenish ink cartridges, photocopies, scans, does everything I need. Epson has always prove to be best for me.

A small, compact printer to use with new Samsung note in cramped space - love it! Very easy to setup & connect to Samsung note & wifi. Quality print, great color, abd great price!

Efficient printer for a great price. It was easy to install and put to use. It's not fancy, but I don't need fancy. I'd buy another based on this experience so far,

Printer has a small footprint, it is quiet. Much quieter than my Canon. This is a great little option for home use. Couldn't ask for a better home work horse. Easy to setup, and print from my mobile.

This printer works great. Very easy to setup and get printing.

So far, so good. It seems to do its job. It’s small enough to fit on my desk and AirPrint works well from my iPhone and MacBook.

I needed to buy one when I was away and needed an inexpensive one for a short time. The XP-4200 All-in-one fit the bill. I would not buy this model for long-term use. But it is easy to set up and use. I doubt it is well enough mad to last a long time, and I have been buying and using Epsons for many years.

Another great buy for the money!! After having several HP printers that didn’t seem to last after a few prints I decided to try this and it was easy to set up and fits my needs perfectly! Very pleased with this purchase!!

If you are reading this, you most likely have seen other reviews. I find them all to be very accurate, this is a great little entry level printer. It's not going to rival the expensive printers in quality or speed, but it works well with low to mid resolution printing of documents and photos. The scanning is good, but not overly fast as well. I tend to use the USB port for more direct communication, but have not had issues with the wifi options.
