Review Summary
2025-12-15T19:00:00
I received a free sample of the wireless printer to review. It was pretty easy to install and set it up. I tried it from my phone and laptop. Finding and connecting it to both devices was smooth and easy. Overall I like the quality of the printer. I printed a lot of colored images together with black and white ones. It would be nice to have printing speed a little bit higher, but for everyday home tasks it's fine.

I received a free printer in exchange for agreeing to write an honest review. Upon receiving the package, I found the installation process to be very easy. My goal was to use the wireless/bluetooth feature for printing; so I would not need to worry about downloading drivers to print from my laptop. Once I downloaded the Canon app to my cellphone and connected the printer to my home WiF, printing documents from my cell phone was a piece of cake. My husband was even able to print from his cellphone. Overall, the printer works great! The quality and speed are top notch, that meets my expectations. I have the printer installed in my home office. So far, I've used the single and double sided printer features, along with the copying feature. I have not figured out how to use the scanner yet, though. The only issue I have encountered is, I'm not able to detect the printer (wirelessly) from my company laptop. I'm not sure if that's because of company policy or not.

I was thrilled with this gifted Canon printer! The set up was extremely user friendly and took less than 20 minutes. This model is wireless, quiet and prints with excellent color. The printer is a great size and doesn't take up too much space in my small home office. I was surprised by the quiet and fast printing speed. I was able to print from my phone, with ease, from various rooms in my home. I used the printer for several different types of images. I printed some photos (using photo paper), and the images were so vibrant and high quality. The colors were true to life and seemed to jump off the paper. The printer came with two ink cartridges that were also very easy to install. I've owned a Canon printer previously, but I've never had a scanner. I had no problem using the scanner without reading the instructions. The color quality for scanning was the same as printing, perfect!! Although I was lucky enough to receive this machine for free, I would absolutely purchase it because it's great value. The printer has two-sided printing which is extremely convenient and helps to save printer paper. Because I have two children in middle school with frequent assignments, reports and projects this will be beneficial them as well. I was able to give them something to print, and they also completed the task with ease. If you're searching for a compact and efficient addition to a home office, this is your best option.

I received a free printer in exchange for this review; it arrived quickly and expediently. I set up the printer at my private desk and after connecting the power cable proceeded to set it up. The wireless setup was easy and after downloading the software package from the official site all I had to do was run the installer and everything was done automatically. I used the wireless printing function from my laptop on numerous occasions, and it was simple and streamlined. The print quality was exceptional and the speed was terrific. I used the printer to make both single sided and double-sided pages. I found the double-sided printing saved time and money in regard to paper usage and expediency. I would recommend this printer to friends and family.

The Canon PIXMA TS6520 is a good budget-friendly all-in-one printer for everyday home use. The key functionality it has is: printing (black & white and color), scanning, and copying. The print quality is pretty solid for most documents and even some light photo printing. I found the setup process to be quick and straightforward. I was able to easily connect to my home WiFi and wirelessly printing from my phone or laptop was simple. I also like its compact size which makes it easy to keep in my home office and I really liked the ability to have it do automatic double-sided printing. That said, it definitely has some limitations. The build feels a bit lightweight with almost all plastic components, and the print speed isn't fast which really only matters when printing larger documents. Wireless connectivity worked fine most of the time, but I've run into a few moments where it randomly disconnects or needs to be re-added to my network. While I didn't run out of ink during my testing, I could see this printer using a lot of ink if you print a lot of color documents or photos. Overall, I would say this printer is a good value as long as your printing needs are light. It's great for occasional documents, schoolwork, forms, and the occasional photo, but probably not the right choice if you need something heavy-duty or fast. For basic home use, though, it does the job well and I would recommend this printer to others!

I'm genuinely grateful for the opportunity to review this product using the complimentary sample I received. The experience was fantastic. The wireless printing with this printer was seamless and hassle-free. I quickly found the available printer on my smartphone without any issues. The setup process was straightforward and didn't require much effort. What I appreciated the most was the attention to detail in the packaging. The ink cartridges and the printer itself were meticulously nestled and packaged, giving the impression of high-quality craftsmanship. This printer meets my specific needs for home printing, which involves printing approximately 10 pages per week. I generally don't use duplex printing. I've used the scanner capability, and it works fine. Also, sending documents or other straightforward tasks is easy.

I received a free printer to test and review. Overall this printer was very easy to set up and use. I have prior experience with wireless printing so the set up was pretty familiar and standard. There was straightforward instructions on downloading and installing the app from there the app had step by step instructions on how to install the ink and start printing. The printing from the phone is very simple and prints are sent to the printer within seconds and are completed within seconds. The only trouble and lack of information I found annoying was the instructions to setup and use a desktop computer. If there was instructions in the box about this it wasn't obvious and I had already discarded the paper. However, googling the model easily led me to the information about installing the print driver. Since this was a work computer I did have to get IT involved but wasn't too complex. I am currently using this for personal and work and so far has met all my needs. The design is very sleek and aesthetically pleasing and not an eye sore which I like. I wouldn't say it's small but it's no frill and doesn't have unnecessary bulk.

I received this Canon printer for free in an exchange for my review. This is by far the best printer I have ever owned. It's sleek and compact and works great. The setup is extremely easy and I was able to have it connected within minutes to my Wifi connection. The instructions were great and easy to follow and Canon has always been my favorite printer of choice. Once it was connected I was able to print from my phone and laptop with ease in seconds. I use this printer for my personal and business needs. I love the printer quality and speed as I'm able to print documents very quickly. I highly recommend this unit for everyone's everyday use and or business needs.
