| This thing is easy, reliable and does it all at a great price. Very Happy after more than a year of ownership. |

"Canon Pixma MX700 truly versatile AIO." | 2010-03-07 |
| - Reviewed By mjmdesk from Winnipeg, Canada |
| Unlike some AIO printers that don't have a fax this one does. Having a memory for repeat fax numbers is an advantage that saves time in the long run. Print colour is comparable to a laser printer; crisp and clean without jagged edges. Photo printing is true to reality quality. I hope to hang onto this printer for years to come! |

"An absolute JOKE from Canon" | 2010-01-22 |

Here are the things that this printer does consistently... YOUVE BEEN WARNED:
- NO printing / scanning / faxing / functionality whatsoever if there is no ink left in ANY of the ink cartridges
- scanning hangs at "Processing Please Wait Momentarily". What does that mean and why does it just go back to the original screen of "Feed paper now"? It's like sitting through a phone system at AT&T only to be taken to the main menu again
- printing hands at "Processing Please Wait Momentarily". I'm printing 20 copies OF THE SAME DOCUMENT, WHAT PROCESSING DOES THIS THING HAVE TO DO????!!!!
- develop line streaks after 5 months of use from the Automatic Document Feeder. Thanks, Canon mx700.
- arbitrarily save incoming faxes within memory rather than printing them. I never set this up, and yet for some reason that important document that was faxed 2 days ago doesn't appear unless you deliberately go into the menu and print it.
This printer as well as all of the MX Pixma printers in the series is a joke. It has all of the usability of a $20 printer. Just save yourself the trouble and get a $20 printer, $40 fax machine, and $60 scanner, because they would do you MUCH more good!!!! |

"Great Printer/Fax/Scanner Combo Except for One Hugely Annoying Thing" | 2009-12-20 |
| - Reviewed By Pen Name |
| If it wasn't for one thing, I would probably be giving the Canon MX700 a 5-star review. What is that one thing? Every time you print, you have a more than 50% chance of the page not printing properly until you go into the Maintenance tools and clean the print head. Actually, maybe more than 50% -- I think I've had to do this almost every time I've printed something. Maybe I have a defective machine, I don't know, but it's really annoying -- not only that, but this problem wastes paper and ink. Like I said, if it wasn't for this one thing, I would love this machine, but for this one reason only I have to give it a 3 out of 5 stars. |

| This printer could not be more perfect for your simple home office. Professionals may find the need for more bells and whistles, but to just get the job done at home, this works. Great quality, great price, go for it. |

"Ink gobbling, paper jamming pain in the..." | 2009-11-25 |
| - Reviewed By sam from florida, mo usa |
| Way more options than I need in a printer/fax, and very difficult to troubleshoot. As many have reported about the mx 700, paper jams are the norm within a week of use, and ink usage is insane. To make matters worse, canon affixes a computer chip to each cartridge which prevents usage when they determine your ink is too low, which they claim protects the printer. The ink consumption is brutal, with cartridges costing $20 each, and they don't even last me a month. My previous hp printer was good for 2 months at same volume and cartridges were $9. The one place the canon has it beat is print quality, which is superb, but way more than I need. If you need a printer for seldom use, and high print quality, this is a good choice, but if you want a workhorse, look elsewhere. |
