Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just got this printer and first impressions are not too great. The Good: - Prints pretty fast (after the click-whirr-click-whirr-click-whirr startup that lasts quite a while)CANON MG7520 Wireless Color Cloud Printer with Scanner and Copier: Mobile, Smart Phone, Tablet Printer, and AirPrint(TM) Compatible,Black - Photo prints are surprisingly good - Network printing works well from networked Macs and iPhones (including scanning from a wifi mac) - It is fairly compact. Unlike many printers like this there is not a big bubble but sticking out the back. They tend to be quite misleading in their product photos but this one is pretty true to what is shown in the picture (though the paper feeder sticks out the front when you actually use it - see The Bad). The Bad: - It feels very cheaply made. The scanner cover is very lightweight and somewhat flimsy. Also it sounds like it might damage itself while it is clicking and whirring and printing. - The paper feed tray pulls out in the front (the front panel that says "Canon" in the picture lays flat down on the desk) and it sticks out a bit. Not too terrible since the output tray has to go there too but it is pretty misleading when you see that picture. Kind of seems like there is a tray internally and the paper comes out on the top but that is not the case. I searched a bit for a picture of this thing opened up and could not find one. - I have already had 3 paper jams and only printed like 10 things. Not a good sign. Moreover the only way to clear the jam is to power cycle which is kind of a pain. It jammed with regular letter paper and 4x6 photo paper. - There is no backlight on the LCD display and it has a fairly dark background. It was tucked under a a desk hutch and I had to get put a lamp close to it in order to read it. That's it for now. I'll try to post an update in the future regarding how reliable it is. Though if the paper keeps jamming then I may very well be sending it back soon. *** Update April 3rd, 2015 *** Still having jamming issues but discovered that there is a rear access door that can be opened to remove the jammed paper. This helps but doesn't excuse the fact that the paper jams WAY to often. I had an older MP530 for nearly 10 years that never jammed even once in all that time. I will probably be returning this one ... *** Update 2, April 4th, 2015 *** I have returned this printer and updated my review to two stars. This thing really is junk. I spent a bit more and got a different Canon: Pixma MG7520 (CANON MG7520 Wireless Color Cloud Printer with Scanner and Copier: Mobile, Smart Phone, Tablet Printer, and AirPrint(TM) Compatible,Black) and have been very happy with the new one. Canon needs to just remove the MX492 from their lineup. I understand people want inexpensive printers but this one is just terrible.
