Asaki SS 63

Advantages: All in one, so only one footprint, and one connection
Disadvantages: bulky, ink can be expensive

...this prints well, and copies well, but there is a bit of a gremlin when scanning to the pc. It comes with a basic OCR package, which doesn't even try to work! Lexmark inks are very expensive, but you can save a lot of money by refilling your own cartridges. Lexmark do offer good support - I installed a new piece of software which made my old printer (X63) stop working. I didn't want to lose the software, so I rang Lexmark, and they called me back to talk me through a few things. 20 minutes later, no joy, so they sent me a free upgrade to the X83. Works fine! All in all I think as long as you are not printing photos, or lots of documents, it would be perfect. Just that the ink is too expensive if you are printing lots!... Read review

Advantages: large bin
Disadvantages: Can only used for 3 minutes constant

.... This shredder is easy to use and only has one button,which consists of on/auto and fwd and rev wich is good cause if the paper does get stuck you can just move the button to rev and it will let you have it back out. The bin container will hold up to 15.7 l which is enough for me to fill each time i use it as it is only a matter of me shredding bill recipts cutting type:strip cut shred size:6.3mm This shredder weighs in at 3.2 kg and can only be used for 3 minutes at a time.

Advantages: Very Multifunctional
Disadvantages: Cost of replacement cartridges

...The Pixma MP600 is a very versatile printer: It really is a multi purpose printer, giving you plenty of useful functions. The Operation Panel, which is found at the front of the printer and has a small 6.3cm TFT screen, enables you to quickly see what task you want to tackle and has an easy - scroll wheel which takes you from one action to the next ie. scan, print, maintenance etc. It opens with a home screen and as you turn the wheel, moves you into the next mode. Select Memory Card and the mode screen appears. When selecting the mode and pressing the function button, the instructions for the selected mode are displayed. Copying: Load the page you wish to copy, select copy on the home screen (make sure the paper is loaded) - you can specify the page size, media type and any other settings you need to set up...
