Review on HP 202A CF500A Black Toner-Cartridge for LaserJet Pro M254, M281 Series by Adam Johnson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Significantly fewer pages than stated Toner

This cartridge lasts about half the number of pages advertised, even if many of them are printed as drafts. I am using an HP branded cartridge because a company firmware update locked my printer so now you must use their product - I have no choice and cannot use third party cartridges. The quality is good, but clearly no better than that of (significantly) cheaper third-party manufacturers. The number of pages that come out of them is well below the advertised amount and I get fewer pages than third party cartridges. They're just not worth the money. I'm planning to get rid of my (perfectly working) HP printer and buy a new one so I can switch back to cheaper cartridges - I'll refund for two months. And will not support HP's anti-customer business practices.

Pros
  • 202a Designed to work with your HP printer to deliver high quality, reliable results every time.
Cons
  • So far, so good
