HP OfficeJet Pro 9000 Series (2019) vs Canon Pixma MG5 (2014)

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015 is a great Home Printer for its $229 asking price.

The Canon Pixma MG5620, however, is merely passable at its $574 price point. If you're considering buying a Home Printer in the $610 range, you might want to check out some of its competitors.

It got awarded the "Top Pick" title by Wirecutter (NYTimes), "Best for Medium-Volume Small Offices" by PCmag, and "Best HP Printer For Family Use" by Rtings in their respective roundups. Earning that much praise from such respected sources is undoubtedly an impressive accomplishment.

As for the Canon Pixma MG5620, it wasn't able to earn a top spot in any roundups from trusted sources that conduct their own hands-on testing. Nevertheless, it managed to impress reviewers at Tom's Guide, CNET, and PCmag enough to make it onto their respective shortlists.
