Like all of Canon's all-in-ones, the Pixma MG4150 model creates great quality prints. The lack of touchscreen may put some off but Register Hardware feels it makes up for it with a great control panel and LCD display. Printing is nice and fast though you will have to wait for the ink to dry. Printing costs are average but the machine itself is at the lower end of the price scale.

If you want a printer mainly for photos, the Pixma MG4150 is an excellent candidate for your money, Computer Act!ve said. However, it's slow to print documents on regular paper, and colour copies lack crispness. On the other hand, it's very easy to use and its running costs are very low, which could make it a good option if speed is not really important for you.

Canon's PIXMA MG4150 multifunctional printer supports both USB and Wi-Fi printing, as well as AirPrint and Canon's Cloud Link remote printing. TrustedReviews noticed that the printer is slow when duplexing or printing colour pages, but with relatively good results but colour copies aren't detailed. It's a decent unit but there are stronger rival models available.

Canon's multifunctional Pixma MG4150 has a decent build quality, including hinges that telescope upwards slightly to allow space for thicker documents that are being scanned. Expert Reviews found the controls fiddly to use, as the menu interface isn't always consistently laid out. Scan speeds are impressive, but photo prints are slow and suffer from some banding.

Canon's multifunctional Pixma MG4150 has a smart design, including a 3inch screen to access the control menus. Installation is simple and the unit accommodates USB and Wi-Fi, with support for cloud printing. CNET say speeds aren't impressive and duplex printing is particularly slow. Print quality varies from excellent when printing text, to less detailed for photos and graphics.

Canon's Pixma MG4150 multifunction printer, scanner and copier has a smart design, with a 3inch colour display. It has a range of connectivity options and can be linked with Android, iOS and other portable devices. Print speeds are quite slow but for an inkjet printer, print quality is good and colour images look great. PC Advisor think the controls could be easier to use.
