9 out of 10 points
Value for money: 10 out of 10 points, "Recommended" Trusted Reviews were sceptical of the bold claims from HP about their OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus, but they were soon firmly convinced. This all-in-one printer competes well with products dedicated to just one function and it outprices laser machines easily with both its initial purchase and running costs. This printer is prefect for use in homes and even small businesses. |

"very good" (5 out of 6 stars)
Value for money: "excellent" (6 out of 6 stars), "A List" HP's multifunctional Officejet Pro 8600 Plus has a smart, matte grey design and a 4.3 inch touchscreen. PC Pro say that while the touchscreen can usefully be adjusted to make it comfortable to see, the on-screen buttons are quite unresponsive. It is cheap to run, which is important for a device that can be used for business reasons and it produces good overall results. |

4 out of 5 stars
For a printer at this price, the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus offers both fast print speeds and low running costs, which impressed MacWorld, and is great if you need a speedy and affordable machine. Photo prints appear a little dark though, so it is more suited to text and business graphics. If that meets your requirements, this is a good choice. |
