5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Impressed
Before we dive in, just a quick shout out for Bolo: Ordered late afternoon 5th Feb 2024. Printer arrived 13:30 7th Feb 2024. That...is pretty amazing. And I didn't have to do anything!Back to the printer: I needed this printer fast because my existing one from the Canon family decided that the absorber pads were *nearly* saturated. I watched Youtube and cleaned them beautifully. No change. Since calling someone out would cost more than the value of the (8 year old) printer, I decided to replace it and silently curse the manufacturer of my old one.The box is quite big and heavy, just saying. Items well packed though and it took several minutes to rid the printer of blue tapes and get it ready...but nothing unusual there. What was disappointing was an absence of printer USB cable. Note that, potential buyers. Luckily, the old Canon one worked so no harm done.I wish the "Get Started" documentation had mentioned that users should get online and start the set up process immediately from there. As it was, I was faced with the (lovely) touch screen telling me to do stuff but waiting for the online to be activated. Confusing. However, once I got my stuff together, the set up was slick and reassuring. Lots of help and "Next" buttons. The only issue came with connecting the wifi. The set up suggests not using the Wifi Wizard. Be careful here, because choosing "Other->Wifiauto" means using the WPA button on your Hub. I nearly freaked out when nothing seemed to be happening but pressing the button appeared to do the trick.The printer is tall, but not a huge footprint. Printing or scanning on normal/standard quality is very fast indeed (good). However, if you choose fast/High Quality especially on scan (say 400 res) this takes a long time (but probably much the same for most scanners)I have subscribed to Readyprint 30pages a month and will try to remember to update this review with what I think of it.The overall look of the printer is great, despite the vertical bulk - the pull-outtable 45 degree menu panel is awesome really like that.Finally, after the set up was complete, I asked my wife to connect & print from her iPad. No problem, print was almost instantaneous from downstairs.Overall, this is a jolly fine printer print. Stay tuned for the update.18/02/2024 Update1. The printer: Still very pleased with this printer. Prints on "standard" are very, very quick. I have discovered that you can scan documents through wifi which my previous Canon would not do. Awesome!! Still love the touch menu - I wanted to see how much ink was left after a few bw/colour prints - amazingly only a tiny amount user (I was given the impression that ink tanks shipped with new printers were basically only sufficient to set-up and a few sample prints: Not True. The scanner has a preview which allows you to tweak books whose pages you are trying to scan.2. Epson ReadyPrint. I have already received a replacement set of cartridges even though I do not need them (see above). I have signed up for "30 pages per month" @ £1.99 pm. Not sure how accurate my 30 pages is, but we'll see. I am expecting either to be inundated with new cartridges or not receive any more for months even though I may need them. Let's see how this pans out.24/06/2024Printer still as good as reported. Be careful with Readyprint. My old credit card had to be cancelled and replaced by a new one. I neglected to update the new payment method on my ReadyPrint account. So when the electricians shut off my supply for a few hours to do repairs and it came on the printer would not print. I thought I just had to reconnect. Simple. But 30 minutes pfaffing around it was still not printing. Then I looked very carefully at the error message and it mentioned account issue. Logged in and found the payment issue detailed above.Removed the old card and added the new. Once new card verified, a couple of reconnects were necessary before my print would emerge. Phew.21/01/2025I knew this was coming. The Readyprint subscription was too good to be true. So the 30 pages a month @ £2.99pm has now escalated to £11.99 pm but we definitely do NOT print 90 pages in a month. Luckily, I am the sort of annoying person who checks all subscriptions for value. I have now cancelled the subscription but not before ascertaining that I can get much cheaper ink cartridges that numerous reviewers say will definitely be accepted by the printer. Such a shame...
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent all round printer - Lowest price!
I bought this for my office to replace a printer that had given up after 15 years and I'm delighted with it. The WorkForce Pro WF-3820DWF is easy to set up, connects reliably and has an excellent print speed. I had a number of Epson printers in the early days of computing and and regard Epsom highly. And I've just bought another WorkForce Pro WF-3820DWF for my home as the existing one (no names!) was a constant source of trouble. At £101.00 the Bolo price is about the cheapest and it's excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
4.0 out of 5 stars Printer is great but delivery was a joke
The printer is great, it's the second one I've bought of this type for a home office and I can't fault it. Easy set up and easy to use and a really great price. 5 stars for the printer. However I feel I have to comment here about the delivery as Bolo don't seem to give their customers any outlet to make a complaint or inform them of any dodgy happenings. We were waiting eagerly for our first delivery. We tracked the van down to it's last stops then when we saw the van was right outside we were watching out the window waiting to open the door. The van pulled up, the driver looked at our house, then our delivery status changed to delivered, handed to resident and he drove straight off. I immediately took to Bolo to see if I could report it but no!! Automated messaging took me to an "oh dear, it seems the status was changed too early. If you haven't received it in 5 days you can come back to us"!!!! WHAT!!!" YOUR DELIVERY DRIVER STOLE IT!!!! AND I CANT TELL ANYONE?Dodgy delivery men aside though a replacement was delivered several days later after I waited the allotted time and went back to the automated service. But I just can't fathom a system that doesn't allow for reporting this kind of thing. And from what I can tell this is quite common.
