Read on for our labs-tested favorites, followed by the buying basics you should know when buying an AIO printer. We've outlined below our top picks among home and office all-in-one printers we've tested. They range from small, under-$100 models suitable for home or home-office use to floor-standing behemoths that can anchor a corporate department, thanks to suitably large paper capacities and maximum duty cycles (in essence, suggested print limits) of tens of thousands of pages a month. Many add faxing to the mix along with other features, such as scanning to and printing from cloud sites. All of them can copy, and because copying requires a scanner, most can scan as well.

AIOs add key functions beyond just printing, which is why they're also called multifunction printers (MFPs).

Not every printer, however, can help shuffle your old fax machine, copier, and flatbed scanner off to the great recycling bin in the sky.Īll-in-one printers (AIOs) are these magic machines.

Who doesn't want to reduce the number of machines around the house or the office that they need to keep fed, watered, filled, and powered up? (Pets and plants are enough of a commitment.) Any printer, by definition, can of course print.
