Manual of product KX-MB2170
Editorial note
The Panasonic KX-MB2170 stands out for its all-in-one versatility, combining the functionalities of a printer, copier, scanner, and fax machine. With a printing speed of 26 pages per minute and a laser print quality of 600 x 600 DPI, it effectively meets daily printing needs while providing sharp and precise prints. The duplex printing feature also contributes to a more economical use of paper, which is an asset for environmentally conscious users. Additionally, Wi-Fi connectivity allows for convenient wireless printing from various devices. However, some drawbacks are worth mentioning. The fax memory of only 3 MB may prove insufficient for users who receive a high volume of documents, thus limiting the efficiency of the fax machine. Moreover, the first print out time of 10.5 seconds is relatively slow compared to other models in the same category. The weight of 12 kg may also pose challenges during installation or moving the printer, and while the paper feed capacity of 250 sheets is reasonable, it may not be enough for high-volume environments. Regarding writing scores, the user experience is overall positive, reaching 80, thanks to the diversity of features. Performance is rated satisfactory with a score of 75, although response time could be improved. Product features, rated at 85, highlight the excellent range of functionalities offered. The value for money is assessed at 78, indicating a good deal, but with the caveat regarding fax memory. Finally, the design receives a score of 70, due to the mobility issue related to its weight, while power consumption in standby mode is appreciated with a score of 90, underscoring its energy efficiency. In summary, the Panasonic KX-MB2170 is a solid choice for professionals seeking a versatile printing solution, although it has some limitations to consider based on specific user needs.Score details
