How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

4.0 out of 5 starsUnder £20 for USB printer - printer saved from landfill!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2022
After a mindless waste of time each time I turned the printer on to try and get the printer to connect to Wi-Fi or to check why I was getting an error either that it was not subscribed to the ink subscription program or incompatible toner when I was subscribed to the ink program and the only inks I used was provided by HP, I was ready to sell the printer for parts or to add to the landfill if it attracted no buyers.

I finally found online HP confirmation that their inks that are from the membership subscription are not usable if the printer is not connected to wifi or if using USB cable connection.

Cancelling the subscription after the warranty ended was a good move, their customer service was abysmal, cheap inks but costly in terms of wasted time over and over again.

Reinstalling the printer driver anew and getting these toners have saved me the extra expense of buying another printer and potentially adding to the landfill. That was after receiving confirmation from HP of my ink subscription having ended.

I only need the occasional printing and printing in greyscale works for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not good value for money
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 February 2022
Verified Purchase
I have never been so disappointed with an HP product as I am with this one.
I was surprised that the cost of these cartridges was reasonable compared to their cost in the past.
However this was put into context when I only printed 6 colour pages on my new printer, and the colour cartridge was ALREADY almost empty.
Seems that there is very little ink in the cartridge.
My old HP printer's cartridges No 21 and 22 lasted a lot longer, than these new ones in my new HP6000 machine.
Very disappointed with this purchase and feel that I have been ripped off.
Seriously thinking of looking for an alternative printer manufacturer if I need a new printer in the future.
They say printer ink is the most expensive liquid in the world and by my experience with these cartridges they are probably right.

Very very small ink cartridge. Started printing, got around 10 pages in and then quality dropped. Check the ink level and then colour was completely depleted. The black was still pretty much full.

Contacted hp is an absolutely nightmare take your money elsewhere

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for needs
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 June 2022

The media could not be loaded.
 I needed some ink and a quick search brought this pack up. Reasonably priced at £19.45, it states you will get on average 120 black and 100 coloured pages from this pack.
The cartridges are the right size for my HPDeskjet 2710e series.
I replaced the ink and straightaway the alignment page printed out, quick scan and copy to ensure alignment was properly set.
The ink was registered quickly which was probably more due to fact it was genuine ink. As my printer is new, I’m reluctant to use cheaper brands as yet.
As for the ink itself, it works, what more can I say.

This ink is rubbish only lasted 24 days and I did not print much more than 30 pages. It’s rubbish. I have now purchased the xl size from Amazon and will see if that’s any better. Have purchased from Argos in the past and they have lasted much longer

Does exactly what it is meant to. 👍🏻

Very easy to install and print quality is great. I have seen a number of people complaining about the price of them however printer ink is expensive from everywhere, there are some unbranded inks however I won’t use them in my new printer just incase.

I am happy with them will update on how long it lasts.

Hope you found this review helpful :)

1.0 out of 5 stars Black ink didn’t work
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2022

I got 2x, the black ink didn’t work, contacted the seller and they asked me to email them a photo which I did and nothing, so end up buying the original from the shop and it worked.
I think this cartridges are filled up and not original so for that reason I wouldn’t recommend.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fake and ran out VERY quickly
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 August 2022

Literally lasted 40 pages on the black ink, haven't even put in the colour yet but suspect it'll be the same. Waste of money and i've just been on the HP website to order a replacement black - more expensive but at least i'm getting the genuine article (HP app informed me these weren't genuine, probably refills)
