Best home printer of 2024

Best home printer of 2024

As TechRadar Pro’s senior printer editor, I’ve tested over two hundred laser, inkjet and ink tank printers, so choosing the ten best home printers for this list took some deliberation. Taking into account functionality, performance and total cost of ownership, these are my top-rated printers for the home and home office.

For each one of my in-depth reviews, I spend around eight hours evaluating everything from design and build, to usability and, of course, print quality, before giving each product its overall rating. Among the printers that are designed for home working, the Epson EcoTank ET-4850 stands out as best home printer for most people. It’s the latest all-in-one ink tank, by Epson and it printed every one of my test pages promptly, accurately and at remarkably low cost per page. Read more about it below, alongside my other top recommendations.

Buy it if…

You print a lot of color documents and your print budget is limited. Epson’s bottled ink is so much cheaper than cartridge ink, you won’t need to worry about your consumables bill.

✅ You work from home and you need business features like a fax modem, ADF a roomy input tray. The multi-purpose tray is also very useful for single print jobs or printing on headed paper.

Don’t buy it if…

❌ You only print black and white documents. If that’s the case, a mono laser printer would be a better fit.

❌ You need to print larger tabloid-size documents. This one can handle anything up to Letter or A4 paper.
