Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

I purchased this HP LaserJet Pro MFP M28w in a well-known chain of stores for large and small household appliances and electronics, several of which are located in our regional city of Hong Kong. For a long time I chose between home and office categories, as a result, the choice fell on this device, which, despite the fact that it belongs to the budget class, still incorporates several proprietary printing technologies that allow satisfying the needs of most users in the home.

Pros

1. Pretty high print speed (for MFPs from the home / home / segment). Normal print quality for a budget printer. 2. Fairly fast output of the 1st page, very short heating of the stove. 3. Very moderate noise and sounds during printing and scanning, which do not irritate the ear. 4. The input tray cover attaches tightly to the front of the MFP when the cover is closed, even giving the impression that it attaches like a magnet. 5. Support for major twain / wia scanning protocols. The quality of the scans is quite good with the maximum resolution of the scanner 600x600 pixels and the size of the scan copies is not huge, about <1.09 MB per two A4 pages with 5% coverage (I got this size when scanning the passport of the metering device). When scanning, you can select the document format (pdf, jpeg), support for other image formats such as bmp, png, gif, tga, pcx, etc., unfortunately, is not implemented. However, this is solvable, now there are many third-party applications for converting pdf or jpeg to other formats. 6. Availability of Wi-Fi Direct service and support for Mopria (Android), Apple AirPrint (IOS), Google Cloud Print, HP Smart App printing protocols. 7. The presence of a USB 2.0 port, in addition to the normal operation of Wi-Fi, the presence of a USB cable in the kit. 8. Nice MFP design, small size and light weight for a laser MFP. 9. Installing drivers is very easy (without using a CD) when the Internet is at hand. Without problems, everything is downloaded and installed on Windows 10 x64, etc. OS. 10. On plain paper and photo paper with a density of 80-90 g/cm prints without problems and artifacts. In the technical specifications - the restrictions on the density of paper differ on different resources: roofing felts up to 120 gr./cm, roofing felts up to 160 gr./cm. 11. Pleasant work in branded HP applications: HP Smart, HP Scan, HP Easy.

Cons

So far, after a week of use, it has not been noticed. Of the minor nuances, one can only single out that the small volume of the toner cartridge with a resource of 1000 pages, but I think that this is quite enough for the home. In addition, compatible cartridges with chips from other manufacturers with a yield of 2022 pages (CF244X type) and 3000 pages (CF244XL type) can be easily found on sale now.
