The 5 Best Duplex Printers for Home Offices of 2026, Ranked & Reviewed

Our verdict: Confirmed duplex plus an automatic document feeder.

The OfficeJet Pro 8125e is a wireless all-in-one with confirmed duplex printing, an automatic document feeder and a three-month Instant Ink trial, in the $50 to $100 bucket. The feeder is the underrated part. It lets you copy or scan a stack of pages without lifting the lid each time, and combined with automatic two-sided printing it covers the paper tasks of most small offices. The listing also lists AI-capable printing features.

It ranks first because it joins duplex with feeder scanning at the lowest price of the HP pair. The older 8125 sits a bucket higher with the same features.

It suits an office that scans stacks of paper. The caveat is that Instant Ink is a subscription after the trial, and inkjet running costs favor light users.

Our verdict: A compact monochrome laser for text-heavy volume.

The Brother DCP-L2640DW is a compact monochrome laser with confirmed duplex printing, copy and scan, a Refresh Subscription toner trial and Alexa support, in the $200 to $500 bucket. Laser printing fuses toner to the page, which produces crisp text and holds up through thousands of pages without the clogged nozzles that idle inkjets suffer.

It ranks second because it is monochrome only and lists no document feeder, unlike the HP. It also sits in the highest bucket in the group. But for text-heavy volume, a laser's cost per page and consistency are hard to beat.

Best for contracts, reports and school packets. The caveat is that there is no color printing, so skip it if you need colored charts. Check the toner plan terms, since the trial leads into a subscription.

Our verdict: The same feature set as the 8125e at a higher bucket.

This OfficeJet Pro 8125 lists confirmed duplex printing, an automatic document feeder, a three-month Instant Ink trial and AI-capable printing features over wireless, in the $100 to $200 bucket. The spec sheet reads the same as the 8125e.

It ranks third because it costs a bucket more than the 8125e for no stated advantage. If both are in stock, the e model is the obvious purchase. The listing does not say what, if anything, the older name adds.

It suits buyers who find this listing in stock and cannot get the 8125e. The caveat is the price difference with no obvious extra. Compare both product pages before paying, and check the Instant Ink terms, since the plan continues after the trial.

Our verdict: Compact color inkjet with a clear OLED status screen.

The Canon PIXMA TS6520 offers confirmed duplex printing, a 1.42 inch OLED display, a built-in copier and scanner and a compact body, in the $50 to $100 bucket. A small OLED status screen makes setup and error messages readable without a phone, which is a quiet convenience on a printer with a simple panel.

It ranks fourth because it has no automatic document feeder, unlike the HP models, so every multi-page scan means lifting the lid again. It matches the HP on duplex and sits in the same bucket as the 8125e.

It suits small desks that need two-sided color. The caveat is manual scanning. Skip it if you digitize multi-page documents, because the feeder on the HP saves minutes on every stack.

Our verdict: A plain compact duplex inkjet with a one-year warranty.

The Canon PIXMA TS4320 lists confirmed duplex printing, a built-in copier and scanner, a compact single-tray design, a one-year limited warranty and easy setup, in the $50 to $100 bucket. The single tray keeps the footprint small, and the warranty is a stated, rare assurance in this price band.

It ranks last because it has no display and no feeder, and a single tray limits paper types. You cannot load plain and photo paper at the same time. For light two-sided printing, it does the job, but the HP gives you a feeder in the same bucket.

A reasonable choice for occasional duplex jobs at home. The caveat is the limited extras. Skip it if you print or scan often, or if you handle varied paper.
