Epson Expression Home XP-4100 vs Brother MFC J5620 Inkjet (2014)

The Epson Expression Home XP-4100 and the Brother MFC-J5620DW are decent Home Printers at their respective price points, but don't manage to stand out from their direct competitors in any meaningful way. We suggest that you also look at some alternatives that can be found for around $120 or $570.

If you're still interested in learning a bit more about the Epson Expression Home XP-4100 and the Brother MFC-J5620DW, however, read on for a summary of what we could gather about them:

The reviewers at Expert Reviews have featured the Epson Expression Home XP-4100 in their Epson Expression Home XP-4100 review: Budget beauty comes with costs roundup. However, it fell short of making it to the top of their list.

Taking a look at the Brother MFC-J5620DW, it got featured in roundups from two reliable sources that conduct their own testing - PCmag and Tom's Guide - but it fell short of earning a top spot in either.

We couldn't find any sources that tested both of these Home Printers, so we only analyzed how they performed in reviews from different sites.

We first examined which sources rated each of these best and found that the Epson Expression Home XP-4100 got its highest, 6, rating from Expert Reviews, while the Brother MFC-J5620DW earned its best, 8, score from PCmag.

Finally, we calculated their average review scores from all of the data we could find and compared those to Home Printers in general. It turns out that the Brother MFC-J5620DW, with its 7.5 average, got reviewed considerably better than most of its competition - the overall average for Home Printers being 7.1 out of 10 points - whereas the Epson Expression Home XP-4100 performed worse than most, with an average review score of 6.0.

However, it's worth pointing out that a direct Epson Expression Home XP-4100 vs. Brother MFC-J5620DW comparison might not be entirely fair, because some sources have a tendency of not taking value for money into account when reviewing products.
