Excellent Laser Printer
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't had this printer for too long, but so far, it works pretty well. I have only used it a handful of times, but I am impressed so far. Set up was simple. All-in-all, this is an excellent little device that can print, scan and copy for a pretty good price. So far, I am really enjoying the benefits of a laser printer over the junky inkjets that I have been using for so long. If you are like me and only print some stuff every now and then and are fed up with clunky inkjets, then you can't go wrong with a laser printer like this one.

Great item
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great...Just make sure you download the correct app to use it wirelessly and setup...There are a few apps that look like HP apps, but try and charge fees. Use the QR code thats in the instructions.

Great printer- difficult to set up wirelessly
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Printer. But very difficult to initially set-up. Since the printer was selected specifically for USB OR wireless, and for the auto-ship toner feature OR not, it should not require being set up via internet...vs. immediately working with the USB connection. (And since it initially DOES this, it should continue to do so, unless the owner later selects wireless.)

Impressed, HP+ is great value but not mandatory
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Impressed, HP+ is good value, not mandatory HP+: I was previously suspicious of HP Instant Ink, but HP's new offering HP+ is infinitely better, fairer, and offers real value. Out of the box, if you sign up to HP+ you get 6 months of free ink and 1500 pages per month. This is more than fair and enough to work out what the right HP+ would be best for your needs. And if you're not interested in HP+ you don't have to have it and just buy genuine HP cartridges instead. The lowest HP+ cost is $1.99 a month for 50 pages. Which be enough for most home use and since you can upgrade downgrade plans, I am confident that when everyone is back in the office we will be able to manage HP+ effectively. By my math though, HP+ makes sense for me. One of the benefits is that HP+ also doubles the warranty (2 years) and invests in re-forestation for every page you print. So it's effectively a green printing subscription - which I personally like. I am actually surprised HP doesn't market this benefit more. See the image uploaded I screenshotted from the HP+ app. Setup: The HP M234dwe supports 802.11n and setup is all done via the app. Setup was surprisingly easy, probably the best setup experience ever for a wireless printer. Print Quality: Print quality is great. It's a 600dpi laser, so you can't fault the quality. The speed of the M234dwe is rated at 30ppm. Which kind of makes me laugh, because on the base HP+ plan that means you could go through your 50 monthly pages in 2min. You can print via AirPrint on the iPhone/iPad - which is a huge plus for me. Scan Quality: The M234dwe Scanner is 600dpi as well. I like that you can scan from the app straight to your phone. Such a game-changer, no more firing up my PC when I just want to scan a page to email to someone or keep a copy of a receipt. Other Thoughts: I didn't know where to put this, but hope it helps someone. There are some weird design decisions. The paper try design is weird. Parts of it fold up, some clip-on, and it's not completely enclosed so there's an open slot at the front. I really don't know what HP was going for with the M234dwe but I really wish it was a fully enclosed tray that fit neatly under the print and didn't stick out a few inches from the front. I also don't like the little LCD screen that just shows error codes. It's not intuitive and while you can get all of the real information from the app. I wish, so much, that it was a more useful screen or just HP got rid of it altogether. Printers that show error codes should be a thing of the past. These are not reasons not to buy, just to let others know. I am still very happy with the printer.

Inky blacks, and easy to use laser printer!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great black and white laser printer. Its amazingly fast, and my documents come out with inky blacks and in great quality. Setting it up was easy, just download the HP smart app from the windows store and follow the prompts. The printer sets up over your wireless network (it does have an ethernet port in the back, but I had no need to use it, just fyi). Afterwards you can print from your PC or you can also download the HP smart app to your phone, add the printer there and you can print from your phone too. It includes one toner; however, it does come with 6 months of free toner via their HP+ subscription, afterwards you can sign up for different plans/levels so you can get your toner delivered to you automatically when its needed. It has a paper auto feeder on the bottom with see thru gray dust cover (real nice) just for printing though, it also has a flatbed scanner where you can scan/copy documents (no auto feeder on this one though, you must place each document one by one). I highly recommend this no-frills laser printer for any SOHO’s looking for good quality black prints for documents, invoices etc.

Better Than I Imagined
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Over 20 years ago I purchased the HP Laserjet 1100. It lasted over 10 years and never wore out. I packaged it up, and it is still sitting in my closet to this day because it is still a great printer. Of course, I replaced it with another HP laser printer.And have never purchased anything but HP printers since. I was excited about getting the LaserJet M234dwe Wireless Black-and-White Laser Printer because of all the positive feedback. I was not disappointed. The printer came via FedEx, and was packed so well that it could probably withstand a drop from several stories...but I'm not going to be the one to test that out. As with most printers, it had a bit of prepping to do to get it ready, such as removing all the tape, cardboard, etc.The actual physical setup was super easy after that. Now, the installation of the software was a bit tedious...not horrible, but like I said, a bit tedious. But once I got the HP Smart app installed, I realized it was well worth the wait. It is one of the best printer apps I have ever used...it is so well thought out and designed that it is truly a do-it-all printing/scanning app. You can change the settings on the printer, set up new connections, add new printers, scan, EVERYTHING. And it is super easy to switch between all your HP printers and scanners. I actually have three HP printers for my home-based business, and I can control all of them from this one app, THE PRINTING The quality of the printing is flawless...whether it be simple letterhead, or complex forms, the text and images are SUPER CRISP. For kicks and giggles I decided to print three photos. What can I say except I was amazed by the clarity. Of course the printouts were not photo quality, but for black and white laser printing, they were amazing. There is a short wait before the actual printing begins. This is completely normal and is in no way out of line. But it is noticeable. Once the print starts, however, it is lightning fast, and I do mean fast. Multiple pages print in no time at all. HP offers an ink and a toner replacement program that in the past I have not participated in. However, I decided to sign on this time around. They offer SIX MONTHS of free toner...SIX MONTHS! And they offer several different usage options, such as 100 pages per month, all the way up to over 1,000 pages per month. I don't know if you have ever purchased a toner cartridge, but I realized really quickly that there is no way to lose with the automatic toner replacement. Plus, they give you 1,500 pages for the first six months (the trial period). I am nothing but IMPRESSED with this printer. It is a huge asset to my home office, and it is so well-built and solid that I expect it will end up in the closet with my HP 1100 in about ten years. Seriously, I hate to sound all gushy over a printer, but THIS IS THE ONE TO BUY! I would recommend this to anybody wanting/needing a superior laser printer.

EXCELLENT PRINTER/SCANNER - CAN ONLY USE HP TONER
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This printer/copier/scanner is truly an amazing piece of engineering marvel. It is a very nice machine, It really is impressive and when you take it out of the box, you'll see what I mean. It is sturdy, more like a small refrigerator than a printer/copier/scanner in that it is very rock solid. Not junky or cheesy. Very impressed. Setup could not be easier. Follow the link to the app, download, open, and follow the instructions step by step, to connect to your wifi network for wireless printing. You'll hit a speed bump in the setup because of the HP+ thing. I feel like I'm held hostage because it is like you have to sign up for this to be able to print. Even if you don't give your credit card for the free toner/subscription thing, you have to sign up and agree that you'll never use a non-HP toner cartridge (in fairness, it does say this on the label and maybe the box too). I felt trapped, like I had to sucumb to this thing I didn't really want to do right now, I just wanted to print, scan, enjoy my new purchase and not get bound up in these types of monumental decisions. Would be best saved for after you have a chance to use the machine, feel good about it, and then sign up. As for the printer, it prints fast, nice, and with great quality. Seriously nice. Scanning? I was able to scan a necessary document, name it, and export it to Acrobat as a PDF within record time. Seriously fast. And high quality too. Need a quick copy of something, fast, easy, and no worries. I love this machine, it is really nice, solid, no quirks or problems. And my lights did not dim in the house when it printed as was the case with laser printers of yesteryear. The buttons for copy/scan, etc. are easy and intuitive. The app is more than intuitive. The paper feed is open, not a tray, and I like that alot. I hate pulling out that darn tray and all that - with this, just slide some more paper into the slot and you are good to go. Easy. Removing/changing the toner cart and fixing jammed paper if you get any, will be super easy. I was able to pull the toner cart out and required no effort or "tech" to do...jams will be able to be seen during the travel path once the cover is open. Super easy, super friendly to those in your home or office who fix these things when a jam eventually happens. I noticed this had very surefooted paper feeding, no wishy washy misfeeds - it took the paper in confidently! Back to the HP+ thing. After you realize that the normal yield cartridge costs $50 and the high yield one costs $75, you start to think, I hate going to buy it and spending so much at one time. The HP+ per page/toner subscription is reasonably priced and frankly a much easier pill to swallow as they say, rather than rolling up to your local office supply store to spend $75 on a Saturday afternoon. Just pay each month, and then when you need a new cart, they send it to you. Return the old one, and it is just automated and easy. Seems to be a discounted price to print per page, than to buy a cartridge at retail. So in the end, a good value, just don't want to be bogged down during the setup. You will never go wrong with HP. Their stuff works and it works well. You must realize and accept, you'll only be able to use HP carts along the way and either sign up for HP+, or maybe someone will offer up a cart with an old chip in it so you can save printing costs - buyer beware, those knock off or reloaded carts are always a bad business decision with the quality of what you receive - at least that has been my experience in the past. As we move towards being more "online" and less printing of things, my guess is that printer companies need to capture their market share now and keep users on board before they fall off the edge and go mostly online. Just thinking out loud. Trust me when I tell you I would be team HP all the way, because I know their stuff works, lasts forever, and frankly were there with me from the early days. I trust HP and I know you will love this product. Just don't think you'll be able to cheap out and get knock off toner for less - it clearly says no non-HP carts can be used. But accepting the HP+ plan, seeing the rates, makes sense. And to know it'll arrive when I need it, makes me a bigger fan in the end.

Best laser printer and scanner for the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laser printer by HP has it all at a very reasonable cost when comparing features to the competition. Usually I strike myself as a Brother printer bias person, I couldn't find myself leaning towards them when it came to this specific printer. Having a built in scanner is a plus and most laser printers add an extra cost for it. Not this one! Fast printing and setup using the app. Highly recommend also to get the toner subscription. I received my first toner a week after purchase so that'll last me already a years worth of printing without the fear of ink drying.

Great and precise
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am always on the lookout for a good and reliable laser printer for my home office and kids school needs. I was glad that HP came out with this M234dwe laser printer which met all of our needs. The beauty about this compared to my other laser printer is the ability to utilize HP Smart app, so I can print from anywhere in the house as long as I am connected to the WiFi and printer itself. Opening up the box, you are met with his nice compact, but not too large/small printer. It is a solid build and fits in my desk nicely. Connecting it to my WiFi and to the HP Smart app was easy and flawless. There was no need to print up a page with the printer WiFi code (compared to other HP ink printers). You also have 6 months free toner through the HP Smart app which we would need with all of the printing needs due to home learning and working at home. I was amazed at how fast this printer is in printing both one-sided and double-sided pages. I was able to print up my dtr’s history work (about 20 pages) in under a minute. The quality of the print is also excellent, and I noticed when using better quality paper with 24lbs makes a whole lot of difference. And through the app, you can scan to the cloud straight to any cloud based sites/apps that you use. As I use both Google Drive and Dropbox, the app makes it easy to upload for you to save and print later on. Using the scanner, you are able to scan up to 600x600 resolution. On the top of the printer you have the glass scanner which dominates the entire landscape. The only problems that I have is the glowing light right below the HP sign. The light is about 2 inches long and changes color. I still don’t know the purpose of this light but it is distracting at night (my office is also my bedroom) and there is no way to turn it off unless I unplug it. Also, the cover for the paper tray is very flimsy and can get knocked out of line easily. Overall, I am very happy with this printer and can’t wait to see how easy it is to enact the new toner before the 6months are up.

Solid HP Laser. Not good Android setup.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok. I am a long time HP fan. I still own 2 dinosaur laser printers 1020 and color laser 2600n. I have owned these printers for over 10 now and they still work after many toner cartridges later. I still use the 1020 for BW till this day. So my love for HP is there. Fast forward to today and this model. Pros: Sleek Modern Look Multifunction with scanner HP+ free ink for 6 months and extended warranty. Customer service was friendly and they actually figured out the setup issue. Cons: Let's get this out of the way. Setup was a pain. I tried to setup with Android mobile and it was a no go. I reset per the instructions and it was a a no go. I conceded and called help on HP. After 1.5 hours with mobile support I had to take out a PC. Apparently this new model has a flaw with Android registration to HP+ and it needed a windows based PC to get over this issue. Second Con is I had to enter my payment information in order to get HP+. Not too fond of this but ok. Wished it had scan to cloud feature. Scan to device is easy to use with app. After setup was complete. I registered the printer on all my devices. Kid's Chrome books Mine and my wife's surfaces Mine and my wife's android phones And we were up and running. If it wasn't for the setup issue I would give this printer 5 stars. HP should probably fix the setup issue with Android so their customer service does not get flooded and also match compatibility on the specs.

Good printer, fair scanning.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I surveyed my printing requirements, I realized that the majority of my printing was in black and white. I was the perfect candidate for a monochrome laser printer. The HP M234dwe printer is an all in one printer, it scans, prints and copies. With a rated 30 ppm, it is relatively fast, with excellent print quality. It also supports two sided printing. The printer also does a decent job in handling graphics, producing refrigerator ready greyscale prints of my grandson. Where the printer falls short is in it's lack of a document feeder for the scanner/copier. The scanner requires manually feeding each individual sheet and with the required warm up is slow. Once warmed up, it produces decent images. It's the limited all in one capability that causes me to downgrade the rating.

Excellent Home Printer
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m so happy with this printer. The print quality is far better than the Brother printer it replaced, and it’s quicker, especially at two-sided printing. Plus the HP scans and makes copies too. Very handy, reasonably quiet, easy to use.
