Sharp UX-B750 Inkjet Fax

Comment: Don't really need a full-time fax, but I told myself if I came upon one more transaction where I could use a fax machine I would buy one. The machine was larger and bulkier than I expected or wanted but it did what it was supposed to.

Using plain paper it sent faxes quickly and clearly, made nice copies and printed faxes just fine. The manual was bursting with things it could do but...meh, not interested. I sent maybe 7 pages, received 2 and copied 2 then it ran out of ink! No pictures, no colors just plain text; I never got the low ink warning, just 11 lousy pages and wham NO INK. Given the generous amount of ink I got on my hands the cartridge was NOT empty. The replacement is about $30. What a rip-off. At 11 pages per cartridge, this thing could cost a thousand dollars in a few years!!

I speak about this machine in the past tense because it is currently sitting in the yard under a pile of dirt and leaves. It refused to take any of the similar-looking ink cartridges I had around the house, so I murdered it. Not so Sharp now, are you?

Comment: I've used this machine basically for faxing items out. I didn't need anything too fancy or too complicated. This unit actually has more involved functions that I don't need but I purchased it cause the price was right. So far so good, setup was simple, it is extremely lightweight (I kind of worried about this as my past fax was at least 3times heavier). Uses standard copier paper (thank goodness), fax is very quiet and scans pages quickly. It also has a hand-set if you need to make a regular phone call from it. I haven't received incoming faxes on it yet but if a problem arises, I will be sure to post additional feedback.

Comment: Overall, a nice fax. Setup was fairly easy, some of the features I'm still trying to figure out however. My old one was easier, but I'd had that for about a dozen years & knew it pretty well. No serious complaints about the new one so far !!

Comment: Product came when I was told. Is light weight. I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I needed a lighter fax machine and I didn't have to pay a lot of money even with shipping, I got this item a lot cheaper than through any dept. store. I can't wait to use it. Thank You.

Comment: The fax quality is good but the biggest disappointment is the lack of speakerphone. The speaker works only for listening but does not have a microphone to speak into. Bulky machine that occupies lot of space.
