The most appealing thing about the HP Deskjet F4473 all-in-one inkjet printer is probably its low price. It can print up to 28 pages per minute, but it is light on advanced features, and the cost of HP F4473 printer ink is on the high end for its class. For such an affordable upfront price, however, some buyers might overlook its flaws.
The F4473 can not only print, but also scan and copy. In fact, it works quite well as a standalone copier, despite the lack of an automatic document feeder for fast scanning. Most of its other functions need to rely heavily on the included software, especially since the control panel is somewhat cryptic and difficult to use.
The input paper tray holds only 80 sheets, which is a bit of a disappointment, especially since the tray makes up so much of the device's footprint. A single USB port is the only connection option, with no networking capabilities included whatsoever. The maximum monthly duty cycle is up to 3,000 pages, but users who print that much will start feeling the strain of expensive Deskjet F4473 printer ink prices.
This brings us to one of the biggest downsides, namely the cost of HP F4473 ink cartridges. In fact, the price of Deskjet F4473 ink cartridges isn't particularly high, but their page yields tend to be low. High-capacity versions of HP F4473 ink supplies offer some relief, but it is still an expensive model to operate, negating some of the value of its low purchase price.
Buyers attracted to the Deskjet F4473's low price tag should be aware of its limitations. Its paper handling is limited, print quality is mediocre, and running costs are high. For the most basic uses, it could still be a decent value, but there are better inkjet models on the market for home users.
