HP M351 Printer Review

The HP LaserJet Pro M351 (also referred to as the M351a) doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it is a solid color laser printer with fast speeds and excellent output quality that will fit the needs of a smaller office or even a home office quite well. Print speeds are up to 18 pages per minute, with a first page out time of 17 seconds, keeping things very efficient. Its compact frame has a small footprint, and affordable HP M351 toner keeps printer toner costs relatively low.

The M351 is certainly designed to be a workhorse for an individual user, which is especially noticeable considering the lack of network support. The device connects directly to a computer with a USB cable, though one is not provided in the box. Still, it can be easily shared through a host computer or with an adapter to act as a shared device in a small office of only a few users.

When it comes to toners, HP M351 toner cartridges are generally affordable. The cost of color LaserJet Pro M351 toner may add up over time, however, as the color LaserJet Pro M351 toner cartridges have yields of only 2,600 pages each. High-yield black HP M351 toner is available, making it more cost-effective.

In their review of the M351, Macworld found it to be a very affordable model with good printing speeds, and gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Their chief complaint was the high cost of color printing, recommending the device only for those who do mainly monochrome.

Overall, the LaserJet Pro M351 excels as a single-user machine that can handle a busy workflow. Its affordable price makes it a real bargain, coming in only a bit higher than a high-end inkjet model, but offering better print quality.
