We have used this unit as the primary printer in our office for the last 2.5 years.  It has broad functionality.  Until recently, the biggest complaint I had about it was that the touch screen seems out of calibration (requiring numerous touches to hit the right spot for the desired command.  Recently, we developed a consistent print defect that we have determined is coming from the fuser.  With no way to easily access the fuser, our printer has become a boat anchor.

Versatile but ultimately unreliable

I have this printer now for 2 years and I have mixed reviews. The printer is ok, the print quality is ok. The drivers are the worst. Each time I have to shut dow the printer, Windows can't detect it. This might be a MS problem, but for me this is Canon's drivers fault. Really annoying. Never again I'll use a Canon Printer.

OK Printer, Bad Drivers

This printer is not user friendly, after hours i cannot connect via wireless or update firmware via USB. Support page is not helpful. er

cannot connect wireless or update firmware

We're well past 3 years with this MFD, and it's been great. Consumables are a bit pricy, but no more than other laser printers, and I only use Canon toner. Color printing is remarkable, and the output is very fast, even wirelessly from iPhone.

This printer gets medium-heavy use, and we print everything - heavy bond paper, labels, envelopes (standard and custom sizes, thin paper, etc.

Great printer

Bought mine in 2018 and still using the starter cartridges  it came with!  To print on low toner, touch status monitor lower right corner and then touch error notification/information.  Then touch continue printing.  I basically just use the copy scan and print but i know the FAX works if i need it.  Most Canon printers have banding.  This one doesnt.

Best printer i ever bought.

This mf 733  printer failed after 2 years. Canon support told me that they were sending a replacement and I could simply swap out the 4 toner cartridges I had recently purchased. To my shock, they send me a MF 743 cdw replacement and the cartridges are incompatible.
Subsequently, they sent me the proper cartridges, so they did the right thing so they are to be commended because customer support is still alive at Canon
Hurray !

printer & support

This is the worst printer I have ever owned. The print is streaky with brand new factory cartridges. The control panel is in an awkward position and the controls are counter intuitive. I have to ask why this ever got approved for shipping to customers.  What a disappointment.

Never buy a Canon product again

Worst printer I ever got it. Do not buy it and don't waste your money.  
Every time to print something i pray that will work. Paper feeder always  bite the documents or crash it.

Worst Printer

This is a great all-in-one printer. It might be an overkill though for just random printing as a home/family printer - but I love it and for me thats what it is for because I wanted something that can do it all, and this is it.

Pros
- I like the fact that many of settings can be done through a browser/PC. 
- Very Fast and easy to do all operations
- Ability to scan to a paper, email, or computer shared drive
- All-In-One
- Both wireless and Ethernet port.
- I am happy with toner consumption with my usage

Cons
- Touchpad control screen could be better or a little more responsive. 
- Laser Toner is expensive just like any other printers.
- Requires a bit of technical knowledge to Configure Fax
- Heavy.
- Cannot feed entire paper rim at once. Only half.

Great All-In-One Printer

This printer is constantly failing to connect, requiring fidgeting with drivers, settings etc in order to be able to actually send scan / print requests. Frustrating!

Good print quality... when it works

I curse this printer every single day. The feeder doesn't work most of the time for scanning. I have to turn the printer off and on frequently to make it work. Every week I am reinstalling the driver to make this stupid printer work. Please come up with a better driver.

What a nightmare

I bought this a couple of months ago from B&H Photo and it keeps breaking down: Air Printer Can't be Found; Paper Inside Doesn't Exist; I'm On Lunch Break! What a Worthless Machine!

Piece of junk!

Not sure where to start, this printer is horrible and unreliable.  It prints from some of our devices some of the time with no consistency whatsoever.  The menu pad doesn't pick what you are trying to push and its extremely difficult to navigate through.  I called the award winning service team but hung up after being alerted that it would be a 45 minute wait:(

DON'T BUY THIS PRINTER

The touch screen barely works and it will not print from multiple devices.  Sometimes it will print from one computer, then will not print from the second computer in the house.  It gets stuck and says "waiting on file".  It has been doing this since we got it, with no solution.  When I do get it to print from the 2nd computer, it will not print from a phone or 1st computer.  Or sometimes it will print from either computer, but not from certain programs, like Word.

waiting on file

Had it for a while not happy but cannot afford to get another one.  won't print e-mail from windows 10 computer, won't print pdf files from windows 10 computer.   scanning is another issue with windows 10.  sometimes it works sometime it does not.  called several times for tech support the folks were great but my problems continue.   am forced to buy another brand.

Problems galore

Since the first day it has been a mess. Should have boxed it up and sent it back. The printed colors are not close to what is on the screen, dog ears scanned papers, pulls multiple pages at a time when scanning, intermittently doesn't recognize my laptop, finicky touchscreen. My much cheaper other brand home printer prints more accurately, and does a better job than this much more expensive business printer.

Should never have replaced very old, yet still functional printers

I bought an imageCLASS MF733Cdw last week.  It wouldn't print envelopes.  I called your award winning customer service and, after 48 minutes, was disconnected.  I called again and waited 1 hour and 40 minutes to speak with someone.  Fortunately, he was very knowledgeable and fixed my problem immediately.  Now, still in the first week of having my printer, my scans and copies have several vertical lines in them.  Unbelievable.  Nothing on the forums tells me what to do, and I don't want to spend another two hours waiting for customer service.  I might box it up and send it back.  Oh, and it dog ears the documents that you are trying to copy or scan.  I am quite disappointed.

Severely disappointed!

We have been through numerous ink jet printers and LOTS of ink.. But since we bought this color laser printer we will never go back to ink jet... It's awesome and we have used it a fair bit was the cartridges that came with it still say 100%!! Thanks Canon for all awesome printer!!

Awesome printer!

works as expected - beautifully.

Does what we wanted it to do but Canon could do much more with it by improving firmware.  Strange user interface to set printer features and use address book.
Most disgusitng is the smell when you open the lid to do platen scanning ... overwhelimg musty / mildew smell.  Even exchanged the printer for a different one but same smell.

Does functions OK but Musty / mildew smell when using platen

MF733cdw. Wow! Nice device. Used at my home office. Great color copies, scans great to save or email, send/receive fax.  Great update on the MF Scan Utility software interface too.  Very happy with this printer. And I looked at many competing brands. I was tired of my inkjet printer and endless problems with ink cartridges drying up, not spraying right, etc.

Everything in One Place

Excellent product! We are so relieved to have a printer that functions well and quickly. We had an issue with FedEx delivering it but that was not Canon's fault. Fantastic customer service at Canon! Thank you!

Excellent Customer Service!

The Canon Color MF733 was easy to set up and so far it's easily handling the needs for the three small businesses that I own. I think it's a great printer for the price.

Great for a small business.

Bought this unit 10 months ago and have had many issues. it will now no longer scan documents

too many troubles with scanner.

Haven't used yet as I'm waiting for my old Canon printer to run completely out of ink.
Adorama.com had this one priced cheaper than buying new ink.
Speedy free delivery too!

Just what I needed

I've had this printer for three months and between my wife and me, we work it fairly hard.  Wireless network setup was a snap and it has functioned flawlessly!  I see some reviews discussing slow response, but I suggest those folks don't have their networks optimized.

Fantastic Printer!

this printer lasted only 2 months and stopped working i will never buy any canon printers

worst printer

I purchased my printer in November 2018 and did not have time to setup due to fulltime work and school and needed a good stand for the size and weight. Christmas (2018 purchased a stand, set up printer and it is awesome. Easy install, quality printing, color and black & white. Connected to my FIOS network, easy. I do not waste paper for school, so the duplex printing is amazing. It is big and heavy, worth the money. I want to print pictures and have not had the time and hope I receive quality prints.  I will update later.

Great Printer Quality

Great product. It's relatively easy to setup. However, it helps to remove all of your old print software and drivers before adding the new ones. It's also helpful to discard the CD that comes with the equipment. The software and drivers on the CD were already out of date. Save yourself some time and just download the software and drivers directly from the Canon website. Be sure the files you download are approximately the same size as the files indicated on the website. If you're download was interrupted, you may need to discard and download again. 
I was unable to find the instructions for networking the stand alone scanner. It was only through a process of trial and error that I was able to figure out that not only the TX required SMTP settings, but that the Port had to be changed. The fact that they are not together and that the provided manual gives no details is unnecessarily frustrating. Otherwise, this imageCLASS mf733 seems to be built just as well as my last imageCLASS D760, which lasted over 12 years and was still in fine working condition when I donated it.

Great Hardware

Purchased the MF733Cdw to be used at my Church. 

While our device hasn't experienced any of the issues discussed in other reviews, there are a few observations worth noting.

The 733/735 look very similar to the HP MFP M477 line of multi-function units. Their specs are very similar as well. This leads me to believe that they are produced by a common contract manufacturer.

The latches to the inside flip down access door for the toner drawer do not hold the door securely. I'm afraid that they would suffer damage if someone accidentally grabs it when flipping down the front cover to access the aux paper supply tray. I have secured the inside cover with two pieces of white electrical tape.

Documentation. As others have noted, the supplied user information is lacking. I had to refer to a YouTube video to learn how to set the machine up to send scanned material via Email. I was able to figure out how to setup fax capabilities however.

The quality of printed material is about what I expected from machines in this price range. While certainly better than the output of the Canon MF8180c that it replaced, it doesn't match well when compared to units costing 3 to 4 times as much (which is to be expected.

Noise levels aren't excessive and print speed is ok (compared to the 8180c, it is lightning quick).

I would like to see manufacturers of printers start to add the ability to access 5.0G WiFi bands as opposed to staying restricted to the 2.4G bands.

Because our 733 is serving as a secondary device (backs up a Kyocera TASKalfa 2552ci), it does not see high usage. For what is expected of it...the 733 does its job well.
