Built in obsolescence

byepsds Sep 1, 2004
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Cheap. Good color and relatively fast. Mac compatible.
Cons Cheap. Not built to last or to accommodate generic print cartridges.
Recommended it? No

The printer and scanner functions worked great UNTIL I used the less expensive non-Epson ink cartridges. The nozzles clogged and the printing went to hell in less than a month AFTER the warranty ran out. Since the Epson ink cartridges are 2 to 3 times more expensive than the generics, this makes...

Don't Buy - Disposable Printer

Pros Nice Prints at first
Cons Not designed to last more than a few months
Recommended it? No

A great machine if you only need it for a few months. I loved it during the first few months, although it shook the table every time it began to print. The quality was superb, but went through ink like a fiend!!

The big problem occurred right about the time the warranty goes out. The head... Read full review »

Short Joy

Pros Nice product. Easy to use. I loved it for home use. Great color.
Cons The head clogs up easy and ink is expensive. Not a good investment.
Recommended it? No

After about a year, it fails. Mine was low on ink, then I changed the cartages with new from Epson and now it doesn't print at all. Wasted about a third of the ink cleaning it on it's own. Then pulled the cartages out and cleaned the head, still doesn't work. I am very disappointed. Read full review »

Pros Quality nameplate, nice features, individual inks, removable scanner cover, price
Cons Huge, loud, quirky, not fun to move
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased my original Epson CX5200 last summer about a month before I started college. I was looking for a printer to cover all my basic needs while at school. This one was perfect, it has a color scanner/copier, which is perfect instead of having to run to the library for a copy, and it also has... Read full review »

Pros If you only want a printer for three to five months go for it
Cons Print Heads clog way easy. No way to clean or replace them effectively.
Recommended it? No

Loved this printer when I first got it. It scanned Great, Copied Great. Even the Pictures looked great. In some cases I thought the printed pic looked better then the original.
However, like the rest, I didn't even make it a year with this printer before the heads clogged on the Cyan. Tried... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use. Quick copy and scanning.
Cons Permanent print head is prone to clogging... Costly repair.
Recommended it? No

Well, I'm not really good at reviews, since I've only done a few.. But I feel I need to mention a real problem with this printer... and possibly all Epson printers.

I've had this printer for about 1.5 years. And at first, I liked it. Didn't LOVE it, because all of the reviews I read said... Read full review »

Noisy but Decent

Pros All-in-one, Dura-Brite ink, nice printouts.
Cons Noisy, quirky paper feed mechanism. Pushy, unfriendly software. Broke after 18 months.
Recommended it? No

I bought this printer about a year ago when my daughter was born. I decided I wanted a photo quality printer with multiple ink tanks and long-lasting printouts.

I also needed a scanner.

My parents had bought an HP 2110 all-in-one unit which I had helped them install, and when I... Read full review »

Very ugly duckling

Pros The scanner works and it seems like a nice idea.
Cons Too many to mention.
Recommended it? No

I hope someone from the Epson company reads this. I purchased a CX5200 from Sams a few months ago and everything was fine. Then I tried to change cartridges and the thing blew up! It smeared ink all over the place and did not work. Support was pretty good and they sent me a replacement.

It works fine until you replace the cartridges

Pros It works fine if you don't need very high expectations
Cons Paper feeding is very loud. It dies when you replace cartridges
Recommended it? No

I have really liked the product for the first couple of months. Everthing was working fine. I did not need high quality images or scanning functionality though. So, I can't really say whether it is really great product or not.

I was using it to print the assignments, graphics and copying... Read full review »
