I got the printer bundled in free with a Laptop, and its very bare bones. My biggest problem with it is that it only takes colour cartridges. This means to produce black ink documents, usually what most people print out, it mixes 2 colours to produce a black effect. It never quite manages it and your prints will look sort of greeny grey. Also, at £15 a cartridge from Dell, it seems quite alot to pay. The printer has a reasonable speed for home use and is easy to use, although the Dell software is quite intrusive when printing and sometimes I wish it would go away. The product is suited for light home use, although due to the fact that there is no single black ink cartridge there are much better printers out there for arguably a more reasonable price. I would recommend the printer to anyone who uses a printer on a rare occasion and does not need to produce high quality documents, although other users should look elsewhere.
