What Users like about the product
· Cheap
· Small footprint
Iva King – When my last printer died, I needed something cheap and in a hurry. The HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer was the only thing I could find that wasn't a Brother or Lexmark. I am so glad I discovered HP products through the HP LaserJet Pro Color Printer, because it works far better than I ever dreamed possible.
James Foster – I was so very happy to see this printer has a small footprint combined with a low price. My son's desk is very small, but this printer fits well, and he is very comfortable with using it. I am even happier with that, because I can always rely on HP for producing a product that won't break down in the middle of a major print job.
What users don't like about the product
· Slow printing
· Poor quality print
Wendy Cruz – Even though I don't need a race horse of a printer, the HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer seems very slow for a laser printer. Not only have I seen
HP inkjets that print faster, this one also makes a lot of noise. I wish I had gone with a different model, since I tend to favor HP over other brands.
Shane Willis – It is fair to say that the HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer is the worst laser printer I have ever laid eyes on. The print quality is horrible. On top of that, it takes forever to print just one page. I am going back to inkjets – at least I know what to expect from them.
Recommendations
As might be expected, we tend to feel that a single function device should offer something more in terms of quality when compared to multi-function units. We fully agree with others on that note the HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer truly doesn't have a good level of quality. That said, we have seen many other good HP laser printers, and feel you should consider those.
