Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great printer, great price, and unlike other brands, the ink is affordable! Highly recommend. And it’s also easy to link to your network and print off of tablets and smart phones using HP’s application. Great product!

Seems to fit my needs a bit better than HP model I originally purchased. Use has been simple & problem free following initial set up which is much appreciated. More streamline than my previous model without sacrificing any features. And despite bottle ink not qualifying for the HP ink program like the cartridges did, its longevity aligns better with my usage so still cost effective.

Looks good. Only time can tell if it is durable. My only complaint is the printing apps. The window boxes for the different options are too small for the message they are suppose to display so you can't see what they say. I would have given it a 5 if not for that. I have not used its full functionality.

It a few minutes to set up properly only because i previously used ink cartridges ,,pour to fill is extremely easier and definitely lasts much much longer. Great for home use

Excellent product. I needed a printer for my personal documents because I work from home and it is excellent. It is simple to use. and in the store they explained everything to me very well. Includes ink for 2 years and this system is much easier to refill

This is what I was looking for, quality, easy to use. It's really the best.

Without a doubt the best purchase I have ever made. I really like it. It is a very good printer.

Love love this printer!! Having the ink instead of the cartridges is great.. if need be of getting another printer I would definitely buy it Again.. I also told my family about it!!

Great for my small business and prints clear. Love how i don’t have to worry about replacing regularly because I print a lot of stuff with color

The print quality is good, but scanning documents is slow.

Great quality pictures and fast printing I will buy again. Sublimation shirts.

I was very interested in a tank style printer. It turns out that this is a very cheap printer for a very expensive price. I find this to be a very unreliable printer. It frequently stops printing and requires that the print cartridges be removed and reinstalled. I naively assumed that with a tank printer, I would be done with ink cartridges. The printer still uses cartridges, it just draws the ink from the tank. Before I had the printer for a full month, it stopped printing all together. I called HP Support, and they walked me through uninstalling and reinstalling the print cartridges. After failure to make progress, they sent me replacement cartridges. With new cartridges, the printer continued to fail. I returned the printer to Best Buy and exchanged it for another. I am having the same issue again. Every 20 or 30 pages, give or take, I have to remove at least one of the print cartridges and reinstall it.

Love the product. I was worried about the the app but it is easy to use. I can print and scan from multiple devices.

The quality of print is very good. Been trying out different paper and most have worked. The only issue is how slow it does print (I was printing a flyer so I understand it will take longer then normal). Can’t compare it to other smart tank printers.

My new printer is awesome! I had budget myself for a less expensive printer but once I went over what this HP printer is cable of doing to help me with all my printing projects and I crunched some numbers, I realized overall the printer was worth it! I will be saving so much money on printer ink alone plus it's super easy to fill up the ink station!

I bought this Hp Smart Tank Plus 651 to use it in home daily printing needs and there is no complains at all because with the ink in bottles is more economy and easy to refill. The price increased a little bit but still in a good range of price.

If you’re in the market for a versatile and efficient printer that combines high-quality performance with cost-effective operation, the HP Smart Tank 651 Plus should be at the top of your list. After extensive use, I’m delighted to share my experience with this exceptional all-in-one printer.

This printer does exactly what I want to do plus I don’t have to worry about constantly running out of ink.

Although it is expensive for its tag price in the long run your savings pay for itself on its ink. Not the best but decent print quality and lots of features like airprint and remote printing.

One thing about printers is having to replace the cartridges, which some can cost more than the printer itself. Recently several printer manufacturers have come out with models similar to this HP Smart Tank printer where you just replace the ink, instead of the full cartridge. However, this is the first one that I have seen that you still install a cartridge, just the difference is that it refills from the tanks. The cartridge looks like any other printer cartridge for the most part, with the built in printhead. So, should anything happen to print head quality, this is a part that could be user replaced. I don’t know the actual milliliter capacity of these cartridges, but you can see in the picture the comparison of the ink bottles and tell that it is going to be able to fill it up several times over. Setting up the printer does require removing some transportation parts, installing the cartridge/printheads and filling the tanks for the first time. The process is relatively mess free, as I found it messier to peel the safety seal of the bottles than anything else. The instructions are simple and you have multiple ways of connecting to this printer. One thing I have seen an issue with other printers is that they only have 2.4 GHz wireless, which can be difficult in some areas. This HP printer also has 5GHz, as well as USB, Ethernet and WiFi-Direct. You can also use other features to print such as AirPrint, Google Cloud or HP ePrint which gives you an email address to send attachments to be printed directly to the printer. By default, this feature is enabled with a ridiculously hard to remember email which can only be changed through your HP account once this printer is added to it. The directions tell you to get the HP software, drivers or app. However, I was able to print from my Android phone and computers on my network without any additional installation. Once installed, the HP Smart App on Windows 10 instantly found my printer and provided a simple interface to manage the printer. The HP Smart App on the Android phone required that I install the HP Print Service Engine, even though it worked without either apps to start with. However, the interface and options are the same as the PC app. For full feature control of the printer, the best way is to connect to it through a browser using the IP. Print quality, when set to best, is really good. I printed several photos and compared to other inkjet photos I have printed, I was amazed at how colorful and glossy they came out. The only downside of higher quality is speed, especially mixed color pages which get 3-5 pages per minute, doing color copies at 2 PPM with default settings. Scanning even seemed slow, especially if you decided to crank the DPI up. Which is maxed at 300dpi for the feeder and 1200 for flatbed scanning. Another downside to the 651, though it comes with an automatic document feeder for the scanner, does not have an automatic duplexer. So, double sided printing requires manually returning pages to the feed tray and hitting continue on the computer, not even the digital display of the printer. If you aren’t concerned with speed or duplexing, but know you print a lot, maybe a mix of photo and documents,there is no comparing a fraction of a penny per page in ink. With black claiming about 6,000 pages a bottle, compared to XL cartridges that come in at less than 1,000 and cost twice as much, it’s hard to beat. Especially when it comes to color cartridges that typically handle far less, these bottles claim up to ~8,000. I’m not going to test that theory any time soon, but with a fair amount of documents, photos and full page photos the tanks look to have barely moved.
