Credible everyday performance with good features—wireless printing, mobile app support, scanning/copying—all in a compact design. For the price, printer is a smart pick for anyone needing a dependable all-in-one at home who values ease of use and doesn’t require heavy throughput or ultra-fast speeds.

I have used HP printers in the past but they always seem to fall short of my expectations. This one is different. It doesn’t take up much room. It is easy to set up and grabbed onto the WI-FI quickly. It prints quickly with very little delay from the time the print command is given until it prints. The print is clear and bolder. I have always had problems in the past getting the print just right on HP printers but it just set itself up to print perfect every time so far. I am impressed.

The cord is long enough to reach the outlet without an extension. (I know printers say to not use extensions but sometimes you need too) This printer was set up in the garage office. My husband loves everything about it and it makes it so easy for him to print with or without the APP. You can do more things by using the Free APP.

There is a free 3 month trial of instant ink if you choose to sign up and use it. I did not because I have had problems with receiving the instant ink in the past. It never seems to arrive in time. Maybe it is just me. I just run to the office supply store and grab new ink when I am about out. It works for me.

It is so easy Print, scan, and copy from my iPhone using the HP app. The HP-DeskJet 2827e Wireless Al Enabled All in One Inkjet Printer is designed to use only HP ink with electronic circuitry, and it uses dynamic security to prevent the use of non HP ink. I am not totally sure how this works though. I always use HP ink in my HP printers anyway. The ink is included in the box and easy to install in the printer. The electrical cord is included in the box as well.

The HP DeskJet 2827e Wireless AI-Enabled All-in-One Inkjet Printer is a good quality color printer for everyday tasks. With this, you can print, copy and scan. It is lightweight at approximately 7.55 pounds, doesn't have a particularly large footprint and prints up to 7.5ppm in black and up to 5.5ppm in color. Yes, that is relatively slow, but the quality of the printing is there for me. This uses HP 67 ink cartridges - one black and one tri-color. HP provides "tester" cartridges with the machine, so you should be prepared to get new cartridges sooner than you might think. On the other hand, HP has a program called Instant Ink where you get ink delivered to you automatically when you need it. The printer keeps track of your use and you pay for the amount of pages you think you will print. For example, a plan for 100 pages per month is currently $6.99/month. There's a lot more detail to it, and it comes with a 3 month free trial. Cartridge replacements must have original HP chips or it will "block cartridges using non-HP chips or circuitry. Periodic firmware updates will maintain the effectiveness of these measures".
This has a 60 sheet paper input "tray" - the paper input is through the back of the machine. Not what one would normally consider a paper tray, but it works well. It does have an output tray with a 25 sheet capacity. This model does not have an ADF (automatic document feeder) but it is capable of 2 sided printing if you re-feed the first printed page back into the paper input tray. It does it the old-fashioned way, manually.
The printer setup was very easy for me. By scanning the QR code in the setup guide and downloading the app, and then going through as it led me, step-by-step. The app interface is really quite nice. Soon enough, I was connected to my WiFi and printing, scanning and copying. Through everything I've seen in the paperwork provided with this, it appears that you must connect this printer to WiFi (only 2.4GHz) in order for it to work. I have had absolutely no issues with my WiFi connection with this.
Overall, I would say this HP DeskJet 2827e Wireless AI-Enabled All-in-One Inkjet Printer is a good one. The speed is not there, but the quality is. It has the HP name behind it and that tells me, from personal experience, it should hold up through years of use. The printing, scanning and copying features all work well. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a basic, uncomplicated printer, scanner & copier. And a plus, it is made of 60% recycled plastics and is Energy Star certified.

The HP 2827e All In One Printer is simplified version of most of All In One type. It is mobility friendly due to its light weight without hassle to grab and change places.
Being simple, it is designed to use only two cartridges, 1 Tricolor and 1 Black, both included in the package; simple scanning with maximum to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi (color) , 1200 x 1200 rendered dpi (black), with scanner type being flatbed.
Its input tray support up to 60 sheets, output tray up to 25 sheets.
The printer has modes specification to for basic work but appeal to dynamic works to print from different devices. As it support print protocol from Apple and Google as long as all are in same network, anyone with access can print independent of work task spot at the home or office.
As handy option, printer has ethernet port placed on the back. Aside from these, it has most basic feature that today’s printers provide.
One thing to note is its interface, or the UI experience of the mobile application outstanding compared to other brand. It is in pair to today’s UI look and feeling unlike old time office style alike of interface.
Regarding the replacement of the ink cartridge HP requires subscription modality, and cannot be purchased independently not being subscribed customer.
Although this could serve some user groups, for others that doesn’t have consistent time period to determine in advance how many times need to replace the ink cartridge might result negatively. It’s dependency on periodical replacement and forced to decide on that aspect and not being able to order it just when needed or it is known, make hard to rely on the HP Printer.
The printer per se is nice to have for its simplicity but its dependency on subscription makes hard to continue using when the frequency of change of the ink cartridges has to be decided in very advance mode.

The HP DeskJet 2827e is a budget friendly printer that can print, copy, and scan.
• Unboxing and Setup – The printer is nicely packed in a small box with minimal cardboard and plastic waste. A setup guide is included which is easy to follow. Remove and discard all the tape and cardboard securing the printer. Once plugged in make sure you have the HP app downloaded to your computer or phone to finish setup. Note the printer only supports 2.4 GHz networks so if you have a dual/tri/mesh network you may have to disable your other bands. Install the ink according to the diagram in the guide and you are ready to print. On initial setup the printer will prompt to print a few test pages for calibration.
• Design – It has a “standard” printer look with a compact footprint. There is a small display on the left side of the printer with relevant information such as error codes, wireless status, estimated ink levels, etc. It has a 60-sheet input tray with print speeds up to 5.5 ppm color and 7.5 ppm black.
• Smart Features and Cartridges – This must be one of the most anti-consumer things I have seen a company do. When setting up the printer you have the option to enable HP+ smart features. Some of these features include intelligent, cloud-based connectivity, advanced HP app, improved warranty, mobile scan and file sharing. Sounds great right? If you choose to do this, you must agree to only use genuine HP cartridges and it permanently disables remanufactured/third party cartridges. If you decline you get another warning saying HP will actively work to block non-HP cartridges through firmware updates. This is all in the name of “protecting the customer experience and protecting intellectual property”.
• Instant Ink – A subscription-based service that ensures you buy HP ink. While they do offer a discount, there is no reason you should not be able to use 3rd party options.
Overall, if you want a budget-friendly printer and you don’t mind being forced to buy expensive genuine HP cartridges then you should consider this product. I cannot recommend this product due to the anti-consumer choices made by HP. Buy from a different brand.

Set up was so easy. I connected it to my phone, laptop, my granddaughter's phone and her laptop withing minutes. I really dreaded getting a new printer but this one is so user friendly. I recommend it to everyone.

I am so happy I bought another HP printer. I had my last one for over 15 years. When it quit, I bought a Canon and I could not even set it up. Then I bought this HP, and it came with a manual that was easy to follow. I have an Ethernet connection, so I had to use a USB. They do give instructions if you don't want to do it that way but I could not figure that out. Using a USB cord means you can't get the instant ink. This is easy to install the ink. I'm a senior and not tech-savvy and this printer is just what I needed. It's also light-weight.

I have used HP before and liked it so I bought another one. HP did not disappoint. My printer is just the right size and works very well. It was also easy to set up.

When figuring the printer out at first, it was confusing. I say this, because I followed every step, I did what the instructions said, only for it NOT to print the normal way. If I try to print from the printer itself, it doesn't work, but if you use smart printing, it works like a charm. "Smart printing" should be an option when you get the print screen. Other than that, this thing works great, no issues getting it connected to wifi, no issues putting in the ink, or loading the paper. Everything works as it should. Hopefully others find this review along the way, because when I tried to look it up, none of what was suggested, helped.

The sale price was great. A very nice printer for the money. Set up was relatively easy, but does require going online. BW print quality is very good. Have not done color yet.
The BIG negative with this printer is that HP now requires that only thier expensive ink be used. Chips in the cartridges and in the printer check and the printer refuses to function if third party ink is used. With the light duty I anticipate with the printer not that big of a deal, but if you are anticipating heavy usage you may want to look elsewhere.
