After setting up countless printers over my IT career, I've learned that the "perfect" printer doesn't exist - it's all about finding the right fit for your specific needs. The HP Envy 6165e caught my attention with its sleek design and aggressive pricing, but there's more to this story than meets the eye. Right out of the box, I was impressed by the 6165e's modern aesthetic. This isn't your typical boxy printer. HP squashed it down into a low-profile design that actually looks decent sitting on a shelf. The white and cream color scheme beats the usual office-gray monotony, and at just 5.4 inches tall, it'll slip under most cabinets. Setup was refreshingly straightforward. The HP Smart app walked me through the process without the usual headaches, and the 2.4-inch touchscreen actually responds when you tap it (revolutionary, I know). The self-healing Wi-Fi feature HP touts? It's not just marketing fluff - this thing reconnected itself after I deliberately reset my router to test it. What struck me most during testing was the print quality. Documents come out crisp with deep blacks that don't smudge, thanks to HP's pigment-based black ink. Color prints pop nicely too, though I noticed photos tend to be over-brightened - great for Instagram-worthy snapshots, less ideal if you're trying to match on-screen colors exactly. The automatic duplex printing works smoothly, and HP's trick of letting you print on the back of photos for custom cards is genuinely clever. Print speeds, however, tell a different story. At 10 pages per minute for black text, you'll be waiting around if you're printing that 30-page report. Here's where things get interesting. The 6165e uses HP's traditional two-cartridge system - one black, one tri-color. In plain English, this means when your cyan runs out, you're replacing the entire color cartridge even if yellow and magenta are still half full. The page yields are... optimistic at best. HP claims about 160 black pages and 120 color pages per cartridge set. In my testing with typical mixed documents, I was reaching for replacements sooner than expected. This is clearly a printer designed with HP's Instant Ink subscription in mind - they even throw in 6 months free to hook you. Looking for a reliable everyday printer that won't break the bank upfront? The 6165e delivers, especially at its current price point. It's perfect for families printing homework, occasional photos, and the odd Amazon return label. The compact design and solid wireless features make it apartment-friendly, and if you subscribe to Instant Ink, the running costs become much more manageable. Small businesses or anyone printing more than 50 pages a week should probably look for an upgraded model. Bottom line: The HP Envy 6165e is a well-designed home printer that does exactly what HP intended: gets you in the door with attractive hardware, then keeps you coming back for ink. If you're okay with that relationship and print light to moderately, it's actually a solid choice. The print quality impresses, the setup is painless, and it looks good doing it. Just go in with eyes open about those ongoing ink costs, and strongly consider that Instant Ink subscription if you want to avoid sticker shock at the cartridge counter.

Good acquisition. multifunction for working from home.

Nice printer for the price It seems like it might break easily if you’re not careful

for the money working well. hooked right up and is doing great

From out of the box it wouldn’t setup. I own 2 other HP printers so I already have the app & know how to use it. I kept getting on the app cannot finish setting up, try again later. I even went into the printer itself and updated the firmware and it still wouldn’t connect. Calling support & getting someone to speak to was a task. Support told me not to use the app and to set it up through the computer, which took about a half hour with them going through it. After finishing getting to work on the computer & on iPads & phone. App still said failed to connect but support said just don’t use it, so it was now useless for this printer. The next day I couldn’t print from laptop. Did the troubleshooting shooting but nothing. Then had a low pitch connect noise coming from it. Also very loud when printing. Returned it & got a Canon instead.

Great printer! Easy setup and quality printing. Would def recommend.

A little hard to set up took about 90 minutes. After that everything worked great.

The printer works very well. Gives clear copies. For the price I paid especially.

Works great. Easy to set up. Got it on sale, so even better.
