Customer Ratings & Reviews

this printer is fantastic. Setup was easy and all instructions needed were easily accessed. I would encourage you to look at those instruction before starting. Instant ink is a nice feature as it automatically orders your ink when low and helps you not ever have issues not being able to print. Wifi connectivity is easy, make sure you know your network name and password. Software setup on Macs and Windows 11 computers and appeared to work fine. Experienced a small hurdle of having to wait for firmware to download (took about 20 minutes in total to get all updates needed for machine. Additionally, once the firmware was download and installed onto the printer, it worked wonderfully. I have put the printer through about 80 pages of printing and it seems to handle it well. Even prints photo paper. I recommend HP's photo printer so you don't have any questions or concerns with quality. Does not include USB cable in box if you plan to connect that way, so plan accordingly. Highly recommended printer

Here’s a printer that delivers capability at a low price. As a home printer it’s a great value. It offers wireless and wired printing, scanning, color touch screen and copying. The wi-fi setup was easy, and it’s recommended to complete the printer setup over wi-fi. It’s dual band and supports both 2.4 and 5ghz. After setup, you can use the USB wired connection if desired. It’s a nice compact size that doesn’t need a lot of desktop real estate. HP offers Instant Ink with this printer with a bonus 6 months subscription. It’s a 2 cartridge system, with one black and one tri-color cartridge. It comes with setup cartridges, so plan on ink refills soon. The real test is of course printing. I found that it handled document, envelope and photo printing with ease. The color output looked great, and photos were very realistic. It does 2 sided printing, and will even do that on photos. Finally having a photo with more information on the backside. Solves that when, where or who is in this picture question. Overall, it’s a perfect home printer. It doesn’t have an automatic document feeder which for most of my needs isn’t a deal breaker. With kids using this for homework or fun projects, the ink subscription doesn’t break the bank. For the typical family use, this one hits the mark.

HP has seemed to finally dial the small all in one market with the 6165e. This printer is quite small in comparison to some of the other HP printers I have owned. It seems that they have also managed to miniaturize the scanner portion of the all in one. With a 100 page paper tray and double sided printing the small form factor, and frankly somewhat low price point, the value proposition is high with this model. Throw in the HP instant ink option and it's tough to find a lot of negatives. The ink capacity of the cartridges and the limited paper size stopping at 8.5x11 are the only limitations that might give someone pause. The scanner is flatbed and single sheet, with no automatic document feeder, so you're only going to be doing causal scanning, and not huge multipage documents. The wireless connectivity let's you put this anywhere in your home or office and send documents to it. Compact and integrated also means there are only 2 cartridges, one for color and one for black. This adds to the limited printing capacity with no ability to switch out individual colors. Overall this is a well made and tailored low use printer for casual scanning and casual home use. It gives up what it needs to to keep the size down and the convenience high. I think the value proposition is high, but a 4 ink cartridge setup and a larger paper tray would have pushed me to 4 stars.

The HP Envy 6165E is a great all in one printing solution for most use cases. Setup was simple as can be with modern printers, if you're able to understand how to use your phone to download the app and add the printer to your HP account. Unfortunately, you do need an HP account to activate the ink and Instant Ink service, but you can get a free 6 month trial of the service to start you out. You are able to cancel the service and buy the ink on your own afterwards, but I believe the service is a decent value if you know your printing habits/frequency vs tracking down the correct ink and buying out of pocket. Actual use of the printer is quite fine, not much else to say, there's a small touch screen on the printer to control some functions and check the status of the jobs. It's quiet and has multiple options such as print, copy, scan and the app is pretty useful opening up options as Mobile Fax for those weird scenarios where a business you're dealing with hasn't left the 90's for some reason. Overall the HP Envy 6165E is a great middle option between basic printers and super business printers.

This printer is great! The step by step instructions for set up made it really easy to connect. The company offers a 6 month supply of free ink which is absolutely helpful (although the one downfall is, ink is pricey!). When I used the printer for a regular letter sized print, the color was so deep it saturated the paper. Photos printed great! The quality is similar to what you would get from a one hour place, such as CVS or Walmart. As I said, the one downfall to this printer is the cost of materials. Both the black ink and the color ink are pricey, and you can go through them very quickly. The photo quality paper isn't cheap - however, I think the overall ost as compared to ordering from a one hour photo, will be comparable if not better. The added convenience of having this at home as opposed to ordering makes the cost absolutely worth it! The only suggestion I would have is to make the paper insertion, with the different sizes, a little easier to follow. It would be great if that was part of set up!

Compact and easy to setup. Print quality is excellent in both black/white and colors.

I will start with I have had several laser printers and the issue is it costs so much to replace the ink that they are not worth it. This printer offers you a fantastic deal on a subscription for ink replacements although I don’t need this. I only print coloring pages and pictures my kids color on their tablets. The HP printer app is amazing so all I need to do to any photo is hit my menu, print, select my printer and it prints. The app also makes it super easy to scan and email which is awesome for signing important documents. Print from email, sign, and scan and send back again all through the app. This printer has color and b/w and has a more than enough capacity for paper for my needs. The printer is very easy to connect to your WiFi and also has the ability to print from anywhere as long as you select that option. The display is beautiful on the small screen and the paper tray is very easy to access and load. Overall, this is a must-have printer/scanner. Even if you do t use it but a few times a year it’s worth it.

Easy set up, small, great value! Great printer to have for occasional printing needs.

So far so good. Fairly easy to setup and use. Only had one glitch where it quit working, but a reboot fixed that.

I have never been more happy with a printer in my life. I am so glad that this exists and the deal was awesome. My kids love it. I love it best ever.

Great printer for the price. Love the 6 months of free ink.

I have no idea because it never showed up! I was refunded and the delivery never happened. Super inconvenient
