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.

5.0 out of 5 starsGenuine HP ink cartridge......expensive, but it works!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2017
Genuine HP ink cartridge. Recognised as such by my HP machine (which gave me a nice, polite, "thank you" message for using the genuine article, when I put it in, which is a bit rich, given it won't work with none HP cartridges!)........I've often wondered why printers are so cheap and yet printer ink so expensive......I suppose it's a bit like if every make of car only ran on that specific manufacturers brand of petrol.......they pull you in by selling you the car dirt cheap, but the petrol they then sell that you need to run it on costs £100 per gallon!

1.0 out of 5 starsGold chip stops working after a month
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2021
After less than one month and no more than 50 printed pages, this product produces an error on my Printer
" Ink Cartridge Problem" and asks to be replaced. The cartridge is more than half full and prevents me from printing. It is not cheap and given the time that has passed I am now prevented from asking for a refund or a substitution. HP has no policy to replace damaged cartridges. Given that it costs the earth, this is a ripoff and from now on I will keep well away from HP products.

4.0 out of 5 stars Necessary evils...

The single, inescapable reason that you can go to a local electrical store (pre-Covid), and buy a combination printer, scanner & copier for less than £40 is because the manufacturers know you'll have to buy Their ink refills. This is where all their profits are made. Moreso now, when most such printer units will detect if you try to install el-cheapo/refilled ink cartridges and simply refuse to function... Until then, these are the best value that such items can be - moreso than the smaller-capacity cartridges - and provide excellent quality images. That is, for as long as you can afford to keep buying original refills... My suggestion is to move up a grade in hardware, to a machine that has a number of built-in ink reservoirs, which you CAN top-up with (much cheaper), original ink...

4.0 out of 5 stars Okay but expensive cartridges
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2020
Verified Purchase
Firstly I bought this for my mum as her standard black one ran out or dried up.

It came in a card box with a sturdy foil sealed bag. Inside the bag was a small black ink capsule which I thought was quite small considering its high yield stated capacity.

The cartridge was protected with a nice plastic interface chip cover and a plastic cello tape style strip on the ink heads.

The cartridge was installed by lifting up the main body on this printer which initiated the tray to move across. Pull up the front of the cartridge and it clipped out easilly. Installed doing the reverse pushed it in slanted towards back then pushed front down till it clipped it (not much pressure at all, if you're applying pressure you're likely doing it wrong).

Shut the main body and away it went. Straight away detected genuine cartridge and asked to align print heads. Printed some documents in colour and looked fine, text and images were sharp.

My quarrels with this is just a problem with HP I think, they're just so expensive so best to buybabfew when on offer. If wasn't for price it's be 5 star.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only ink approved by HP
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 July 2022

Good ink and HP only approve of the use of its own product in HP printers. However, as we all know, ounce for ounce manufacturers own brand printer ink is more expensive than Champagne!
Make sure you use the Amazon price tracker, camel camel camel to find the lowest price for this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forced purchase
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 September 2016
Verified Purchase
Well, if I could get them cheaper, I would. Here they are cheaper than most High Street Retailers.
My HP Envy is very particular about cartridges unfortunately - PITA.
So, not really much choice.
But I must say print quality is perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bargain basement deal!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2016
Verified Purchase
This item was entirely accurately described as having a damaged cardboard box, but being otherwise absolutely intact, in date, and a completely authentic original manufacturer's cartridge. It was therefore on offer at a considerable discount from the standard price. This is to the seller's credit. Such transparency is laudable, and will give me confidence in any future descriptions from this vendor.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 February 2017
Verified Purchase
Im not sure this is genuine ink, i have had nothing but problems since loading this ink cartridge, i have run cleaning maintenance cycle several times
over to no avail, i get inconsistent printing all the time. I have tried removing cartridge & replacing it but it still continues to smudge or print faint.
My printer is less than a year old & the ink supplied was XL black & colour which printed perfectly.
It may be that I'm just unlucky, but i won't be buying it online again. Very disapointed

1.0 out of 5 stars Wrong cartridge inside!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2020

Wrong cartridge inside! I opened this box and put the cartridge in. It took a few times of trying to get it to work to realise that the cartridge number didn’t match the one on the box. The box was sealed shut and everything, so this was an issue with the manufacturer or else some really clever package altering skills.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ink lasted 2 weeks
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2020
Verified Purchase
I went for the high yield as my last HP black ink replacement lasted a month then ran out, and I should have listened to the reviews. It has been in my printer a few weeks and we have printed maybe 35 pages and not its run out, absolutely terrible, and you can't ask for a refund! I am linked to HP support and there is no way to contact. I am so angry and wish Amazon could do something as this happens to so many buyers
