HP Colour Laser 150nw review: the printer that died at eleven months

We bought an HP Colour Laser 150nw for about £130 thirteen months ago. It is now sitting in a recycling pile. This HP Colour Laser 150nw review explains exactly why, because the power button broke, HP's support website was impenetrable, and returning it to Currys was not worth the trip.

If you genuinely need colour at home, skip ink cartridges entirely and buy a refillable ink tank such as an Epson EcoTank or a Canon PIXMA MegaTank. That is the whole guide in two sentences.
