Best Overall
Epson EcoTank ET-4800 Wireless All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer with ADF and Ethernet
Our verdict: Refillable tanks, an auto document feeder, Ethernet and fax in one reliable home-office machine.
The ET-4800 is a cartridge-free supertank all-in-one with an auto document feeder, built-in fax, Ethernet plus Wi-Fi, and the Epson Smart Panel app for iOS. Ink comes from refillable tanks you top up from bottles rather than from replaceable cartridges.
It takes first place because it is the only model here that solves both recurring problems at once. The tank system removes the per-cartridge markup that makes cheap inkjets expensive over time, and the feeder lets you scan or copy a stack of pages from your phone without lifting the lid for each sheet. Ethernet is a quiet bonus: a wired connection avoids the dropped-Wi-Fi problems that frustrate phone printing. It outranks the ET-2800 because that unit lacks the feeder, fax and wired port.
Buy it if you run a home office, handle school paperwork or print several times a week. Skip it if you print only a few pages a month, since the price sits in the $100 to $200 bracket and a basic model would do.
