Best home printer under $100?

Combined ranking

1. 1
   Canon PIXMA TR4720—10 pts

   GPT #3Claude #2Gemini #3

   A true do-everything all-in-one under $80 — color print, scan, copy, fax, a 20-sheet ADF, and Wi-Fi/AirPrint — making it the most feature-complete sub-$100 device for households that need the occasional photo, form, or document.

   To stay #1 Move to a higher-yield or refillable ink system, since its tiny PG-275/CL-276 cartridges make running costs punishingly high.

2. 2
   Canon PIXMA MG3620—7 pts

   GPT #4Claude —Gemini #1

   Offers automatic duplex printing, excellent borderless photo print quality, and reliable wireless connectivity at a very low entry price.

   To rank higher Switch from the expensive combined tri-color cartridge system to individual color ink tanks to reduce running costs.

3. 3
   BBrother MFC-J1010DW—6 pts

   GPT #1Claude #5Gemini —

   strongest under-$100 feature set with print, scan, copy, fax, Wi-Fi, auto duplex, 20-sheet ADF, decent black-text speed, and better home-office utility than most cheap inkjets

   To rank higher cut cartridge running costs

4. 4
   BBrother HL-L2320D—5 pts

   GPT —Claude #1Gemini —

   A genuinely reliable mono laser that routinely lands at/under $100, with fast 27ppm output, automatic duplexing, and dirt-cheap per-page cost via high-yield TN-660/TN-630 toner — no clogged inkjet heads or drying ink, so it's the best total-cost-of-ownership choice for text-heavy home use.

   To rank higher Add built-in Wi-Fi (it's USB-only) and a flatbed scanner so it isn't beaten by AIO inkjets on versatility.

5. 5
   HP ENVY 6555e—4 pts

   GPT #2Claude —Gemini —

   best print quality balance here, with sharp text, strong photo output, auto duplex, ADF, touchscreen, AirPrint, and easy wireless setup for casual home use

   To rank higher use larger, cheaper ink cartridges

6. 6
   PPantum P2502W—4 pts

   GPT —Claude —Gemini #2

   Provides fast monochrome laser printing with crisp text output, wireless capability, and avoids the ink-clogging issues of budget inkjets.

   To rank higher Include a flatbed scanner and copy module to make it a true multi-function device.

7. 7
   EEpson Expression Home XP-4200—3 pts

   GPT #5Claude —Gemini #4

   Uses individual ink cartridges so you only replace the color that runs out, and features a bright color LCD screen with a compact footprint.

   To rank higher Expand the low-capacity 100-sheet paper input tray to handle larger print runs.

8. 8
   HP DeskJet 4255e—3 pts

   GPT —Claude #3Gemini —

   Compact, easy mobile setup via the HP Smart app, solid color AIO with ADF and duplex, plus 3–6 months of Instant Ink trial that softens early ink costs for light users.

   To rank higher Drop the Instant Ink/HP+ subscription lock-in and third-party-cartridge blocking, which erode trust and long-term value.

9. 9
   Canon PIXMA TS6420a—2 pts

   GPT —Claude #4Gemini —

   Best photo quality in the price band thanks to a 5-ink system with a dedicated pigment black for crisp text and a separate photo dye set, plus dual paper feeding and clean wireless printing.

   To rank higher It lacks an ADF and fax, so adding an auto document feeder would close the gap with the TR-series for paperwork.

10. 10
    HP DeskJet 3755—1 pts

    GPT —Claude —Gemini #5

    Features an ultra-compact scroll-scan design that takes up minimal desk space while still offering wireless copying and scanning.

    To rank higher Improve the sluggish print speed and low-yield cartridge capacity to handle higher print volumes.
