Lexmark Genesis S815 All-in-One Printer

 

To be perfectly honest, I haven't exactly had the best of experiences with Lexmark products in the past. Many years back, I went through two less than stellar Lexmark printers. ...

Aesthetically pleasing design with color touchscreen ; Innovative imaging technology for scanner ; Integrated WiFi-N connectivity ; Good print quality and acceptable print speed

No feed scanner ; Cannot take on thicker documents, books, etc ; Easy to accidentally flip open the scanner cover ; Comparatively expensive

If I could give it 0 stars I would

 

I've gone through more ink and more attempts at cleaning this thing than any other printer I've ever owned. Quite plainly, it's a piece of junk and Lexmark should be ashamed for letting such a defective product go out the door. There is no question...

Incredibly Bad Printer

 

I bought this printer for the flash-scan feature, and to use as a replacement for a Lexmark color laser printer that I wasn't pleased with. The scanner works okay, but I haven't used it much. The printer itself is difficult to use. In most ink jets you...
