The HL2270DW Wireless Monochrome Printer Deals Cheap

A number of reviews have commented on it's power consumption. First there's the allegation that it's draws so much power that the lights dim in the house. The problem here is that your building needs to have it's wiring upgraded. In any case, the printer shouldn't be plugged into a circuit that also supplies room lighting.

Next, there have been comments that it's not really energy saver, seemingly because the power LED remains on in dimmed mode when it's sleeping. In fact, in only uses 0.9 watt when it sleeping (2.8 watts with WAN on); that's a lot less most modern appliances, such as TV's or microwaves. Far less than a high speed modem or router. It needs to consume some power in order to keep it's connection to the network on standby. You can change the status of the power indicator to "off when sleeping" in the software if it makes you feel better, but why bother? You can save a lot more energy by vacuum cleaning the coils beneath and behind your refrigerator. (I know you haven't done that lately.)

Finally, it's been stated that it draws 1,000 watts while printing. Well, inrush perhaps. But let's do the math based on the 1,000 watts. In most cases 1,000 watts for an hour's time would cost you about ten cents. Ignoring the time you'd spend reloading it with paper, and at 25 pages a minute, your cost in energy would be 0.00666 cents per page ($0.0000666). Pretty cheap, all things considered.

It does exhibit a slight "curling" of the paper, particularly when using the duplex mode. I switched to 24 lb. laser paper to combat this and noticed an improvement in print quality as well. There is an option in the printer's software that supposedly will reduce paper curl. I haven't tried it because I feel that the manufacturer would not have the default set to off unless there are performance issues associated with it's being on.

Overall, I'm very pleased with this printer. For what it's designed for, a SOHO environment, it can't be beat.
