Kodak Easyshare 5500

Pros: All-in-one functionality. Quality of print. Ease of setup. Kodak name.

Cons: Initially defective print head. Some features are difficult to program. Some signs of cheap construction.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this printer for home or a small home/office. The issues I've experienced are minor, and overall I am pleased with my purchase.

Review: I was interested in this particular printer ever since I first saw the display at my local Best Buy store. Normal price was $299 but a sale went into effect and I saved 10%. The big appeal of this printer for me was it's 4-in-1 functionality, the Kodak ...

Pros: It does it all - very easily! Scan, Copy, Fax, Print! Low cost ink!

Cons: Probably due to it's intended simplicity, there are few adjustment and settings options.

The Bottom Line: The low cost of ink first grabbed my attention. But this AIO printer performs well!

Review: This printer was a Christmas gift and a replacement for an HP 722 DeskJet with ink cartridges that are quickly becoming obsolete and very hard to find. I had a heck of a time getting my Athelon based E-Machine to work with this printer. A Macbook and ...

Pros: Looks nice.

Cons: See above

The Bottom Line: Do not buy. Low cost ink and printing speed claims are not true

Review: I am very disappointed with the Kodak 5500 and will be returning it to Kodak. Right out of the box I felt the setup instructions were vague and I feel the same way about instructions for Scanning and photo reproduction. Print quality is poor. Black and ...

Pros: HAHAHAHA!

Cons: KODAK 5500 AIO

The Bottom Line: DON'T BUY IT!!

Review: I made the mistake of purchasing TWO of these machines for my home office, and they have both had the identical problems....the auto-feed scanner function doesn't scan more than one page (the others scan as blank white pages), the paper jams constantly ...

Pros: Copier

Cons: Poor print quality, horrible sounds, overpriced, doesn't work with mac

The Bottom Line: Terrible product and money better spent on another company's printer.

Review: I was very excited to get this printer - so much so that I paid the full price at Best Buy. What a major disappointment right from the start. The instructions were vague and I needed to install software for my Mac. Had problems upfront getting the ...

Pros: None from my Point of view

Cons: Noisy, printhead unreliability which seems to be a problem with several other owners.

The Bottom Line: Stay clear of this machine.

Review: I purchased my Kodak 5500 AiO in January 2008 through a home shopping channel. Though it seemed to be quite noisy, I was satisfied with the document and photo printing outcomes. Things went down hill after replacing the ink for the first time around two ...

Pros: Kodak responds quickly.

Cons: They don't solve the problems.

Review: Initially, worked well for a week. Fax machine stopped, and Kodak suggested I buy an answering machine, since it will not work with the phone answering service. It will not scan with the adf (first and last page only). If you want to take the time, you ...

Pros: Looks nice

Cons: Everything!

Review: I got this printer last month for my birthday. From day 1, we have had problems with it. It never worked properly. We spent time on the phone with a tech. We did readjust the printhead. It worked for a couple of hours and then we encountered another ...

Pros: Cheap Ink

Cons: ADF Doesn't Work.

Review: Don't buy if you want the ADF to work. Mine only scans one page at a time in anything except for grayscale. Any more than one page and it scans white pages for everything after the first. In Grayscale it scans so light you can barely read the scanned ...
