Awesome printer, it is definitely faster than the HP printer I had before. Love the fact that the ink will last longer. It prints beautiful and don't have anything bad to say.

I am excited about the Smart Tank concept; not having to replace ink cartridges so frequently. However, I also have the need for frequent scanning of documents, many of which have many pages. The Smart Tank 6001 does not have a feeder tray, only a flat bed, allowing for one page at a time.

Easy to install and use, except for the awkward envelope feed. A top feed would be far easier to use than the current removal of the paper and top tray, along with the hard-to-reach feed guides. While printing on paper was good, I had to call hp to get a tech to install a driver that cured the fuzzy printing on envelopes.

Prints well, but we still can't get it to connect wirelessly to our computers or phones. Tried many ways and exhausted the options to connect. We have to hard wire it.

My HP Envy stopped working and would only let me make copies (no scanning etc.) so I decided to get something that would help me to save on buying ink cartridges. The HP Smart Tank will help a lot in that respect--no more buying cartridges. From what I can see from the first few days of using this machine, it looks like I can now get back to doing all the things my old machine stopped doing. And that's a great feeling!

Was not able to print for several weeks after my HP Photosmart 7510 died and efforts to resuscitate it during these weeks were futile. After purchasing the HP Smart Tank 6001, was still not able to print for several more after receiving it due to immense difficulty in connecting it to my older (still) Windows 7 HP Pavilion HPE desktop computer -- which still runs above and beyond a perfectly well oiled machine. Instruction manual which came with the 6001 was a useless piece of garbage -- no information on how to troubleshoot based on problem indicators the 6001 was presenting. HP Tech support was horrific in trying to get this printer working with my computer -- 98% of HP Tech support I contacted either stated it couldn't be done with a Windows 7 computer, didn't care, were too lazy to provide deep assistance, or were just clueless about everything. Finally, in a last ditch effort, I reached a true gem of a professional and human being in HP Tech Support (Bruce) who spent 3 + hours on the phone with me to get everything working perfectly between the 6001 and my computer. It took me a total of 1 1/2 months to get printing again. What a massive pain! Still having problems scanning with the printer -- it not allowing you create PDF Complete documents through Windows Fax and Scan program (which it utilizes) and having to go through some lengthy arcane process to finally be able to scan to create a PDF Complete document. As well,there is a compatibility issue (it appears) between the Smart Tank 6001 and the PDF Complete software which has also rendered me unable to complete / edit scanned documents in the PDF Complete software -- and has also disconnected the printer from my computer in this process -- which required me to again re-contact (mostly horrible) HP Tech Support and spend immense amounts of time trying to get the printer re-connected to my computer. Overall, printer feels cheap and flimsy -- made out of "recycled who knows what?" -- not a solid piece of equipment like my previous HP Photosmart 7510. Examples being the scanner / copy lid, and the input / output paper trays. In fact, the guides on the input paper tray are horrific, not adjusting with ease and feeling like they will break if you push too hard to adjust -- and it often feeds the paper in slightly crooked as a result -- producing a crooked printout or copy. The bottled ink feature as compared to the previous cartridge ink I used with my old printer should prove to provide greater greater printing longevity per ink (bottle) purchased and greater ink cost savings over time. What more can be said? ..... other than I am at least doing basic printing / copying again even though problems still persist with scanning (per above). This is to say, the Smart Tank 6001 has been adequate, but underwhelming. Part and parcel with this, again, the vast majority of HP Tech Support has been horrible in assisting with all of this with a very few exceptions.

Printer did not work out of the box, and customer service is not available. I was robbed. Didn't even get to install printer heads.

The print quality and speed are what we needed. We love how economical the bottles of ink are...so much cheaper for the quantity than the cartridges. Just like past HP printers we've had (6 so far), it goes offline at the most inopportune time. "All-in-One" printers are not all the same. Make sure that you verify that it has everything you need...including fax ability...if that is what you were expecting to have. Nothing with the review but wish I had purchased one with the automatic document feeder...pretty obvious this one does not but the "All-in-One" threw me off. Again, the print quality and speed are great.

So far, so good. Printer was easy to setup and install. Driver seems to be dependable and the printer has yet to fail. A bit on the slow side after sleep, but part of that could be attributable to slow laptop.

Works as described. Connected to laptop without problem. Some of the set up instructions were less than clear. Some parts are a little fiddly. Probably a more expensive model would be a bit smoother.

Printer has been quick and easy for set up. Still trying to figure out how to print in larger paper size (i.e. legal size), could be just a setting I'm missing to check or set up but the printer has been good for what I need up to this point.

It was finally time to upgrade our old HP printer. So after some research, I decided to buy the same brand, but a new model. Since the ink price went up, and we are printing a lot, I picked The HP Smart Tank 6001 Printer. Setting up the new printer was straightforward and took only a few minutes, depending on your Wi-Fi settings. Since it uses the same software, I didn't have to spend time downloading a new one. The software proved to be intuitive, with an easy user interface. This printer has become a lifesaver for me. It prints fast and accurately, and, to top it off, it looks good! The exterior design is pleasing, and the interior is simple enough for a child to understand. One major improvement is the ink longevity. It lasts much longer than my previous printer, saving me from headaches, always thinking about how many pages are left or if I can find my ink in the closer supermarket in case of an emergency.

This HP is a replacement for an older HP Printer, it was an office 3 in 1 printer, but even though we don't print a whole lot it seems we spent a lot of money on the set of ink every other month it seemed ,so to be accepted for this opportunity I feel this is so advanced, and so far I love the print quality , my husband has printed more than me but I have reviewed what he has done and it is too nice and clear, the clarity of the color printing it also does is just too detailed and I feel we are gonna save a lot of money . Even though he has printed multiple pages in color I plan to print out some documents for household documents and am looking forward to it.

I've been using HP Printers for over 20 years as it's been a mainstay with the Army and government offices. I didn't expect it to be much different, but I was pleasantly surprised! This being the first tank filled printer I ever used, it performed much higher than I expected. We are so used to using cartridges that anything else is expected to smear, blur, etc... This printer not only prints high-quality pages, but the ink lasts longer! My family and I use this printer every day. Me for work, my husband for home business, my daughter for school, and my son for his work .,it has not failed, it hasn't been a smeared print, and the tanks are still full! We are now sold on the HP Smart Tank 6001 and have convinced another family member to try it, and they love it also.

I've been using HP printers for at least 10 years now. And I always got along "ok" with those printers, it always seemed like they would disconnect from wifi randomly(at the worst possible time) or I would forget to pay Instant Ink at the worst possible time.. but... I've been using the 6001 for about a month and I can say that without a doubt, this printer will leave you wanting for NOTHING! Except maybe something else to print. It says it comes with 2 years worth of ink, but I figured that was a stretch so I purchased a set of refills. It cost me less than 40$ for all 4 bottles. And then when I opened the printer, it really did come with full size refill bottles that will last forever. Print quality is superb. I've printed on everything from Parchment to high gloss premium paper and it's handled everything like a champ. Did I mention that it has duplex capability?? I didn't even know how much I missed that feature. It's also fast. It set up easily with HP Smart(make sure it connects to your 2.4 wifi if you have the 2.4/5 options..it doesn't play nice on the 5 for some reason). It's not exactly silent, but not at all loud either. It has a front load tray which is super convenient (fyi: if you're coming from a rear load HP like me.. the side facing up in the load tray is NOT the side that will be printed on). If you're looking for a new printer for home, work, school or any other reason, don't walk past this gem. It's reasonably priced, covers you on ink for the foreseeable future and will not disappoint! I'm sharing a very detailed and ink heavy picture(that i didn't hesitate to print 4 times and that didn't put a dent in my ink tanks btw). But it's on 2 different papers and in 2 different qualities just to show the quality of the prints. Pics were taken with an s23 ultra but I didn't edit or remaster, so just know that they look even better in person.. I hope this review helps you decide what I suitable for you and shared some features or info that you needed about the 6001. Happy Printing!!

Ok I have to share how surprised I was when I 1st got the printer as this was the 1st time I have an HP printer with refill tanks. So I'm excited to see how long the ink lasts. It was super easy to fill up, set up and to test it out I can't wait to do some cricut stickers and other projects!! I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.

This HP printer stands out with its impressive printing capabilities, offering print speeds of up to 12 ppm in black and 7 ppm in color for a seamless home printing experience. With automatic two-sided printing, it ensures fast and efficient printing.

The home printing experience begins with an easy and straightforward installation process as the free HP app provides step by step set up instructions. I was able to set up the printer quickly, allowing for a hassle free start. Overall, the HP printer combines efficient printing, innovative refill system, connectivity options, and user friendly features, making it a reliable choice for both home and small office use. I would recommend the product and I am happy with my purchase.

The Smart Tank 6001 replaced my nearly 7 year old HP Envy 7000 series printer to handle my work from home and school printing needs. Getting the printer out of the box and set up as a wireless printer was quick and easy. The new Smart Tank prints at a much higher quality than the older HP Envy, and it also has a smaller footprint in my home office. I purchased a stand-alone document scanner a few years ago because the built in scanner on my HP Envy was so bad. The new Smart Tank scanner actually works and I can get rid of an additional piece of equipment. My only complaint is that I do a fair amount of document scanning and having a one touch scan to PC button would be very convenient.

Thank you HP for designing this beautiful printer and scanner. Thank you Best Buy for having this item in stock online as well. My husband works from home, we both have online classes, and we homeschool our four children. We needed a printer that works fast, has copy function, has WiFi connection, and that has a scanner. This fits perfectly on our black cabinet we purchased from Walmart. I'm so glad that the printer has up to two years of ink free! You definitely know we be taking that opportunity for our family to use. I ran out of paper since I bought a small amount. I will be purchasing more paper soon. Thank you !
