Wonderful value for the price
By A Customer
Hey, all I can say about this is it is GREAT value for the price. You can get other cd players for twice or three times the price but you won't get anything exceedingly better. This is quality at its finest. Granted I have only owned 3 cd players but this is by far the best. If you are looking for a mid range player that has everything you need including a remote then you have found the one. For a little...you are getting the best money can buy. This has 40 second shock protection and plays your homemade cd's. I was worried about this at first but my burned cd plays perfectly. All I can say is that if you are looking for a cd player for school,work, or just exercising this is it. Also, the only bad part I would say is the headphones. Well, they aren't "bad" but I added a new pair of Philips Hp170 full-size headphones and the sounds are MUCH improved. If you save the money on the cd player and buy this then pick up a new pair of headphones and you will have the best money can buy... Hope this helps!

Very good for the price
By Justin
This is a great portable CD player. I jog with it probably 4-5 days out of the weekend,and its still holding up fine after a few months. It comes with a soft carrying case which can be tied around the waist. Only problem I found is that wearing the CD around the waist causes a lot of skipping even at a light jog. My solution was to use the straps on the carrying case to wrap lightly around my wrist and jog like that. I rarely ever hear a skip with it on my arm. Panasonic does sell a wrist attachment for this model off of their website. I wish it came with an AC adapter but that too can be bought off panasonic's site for about $... (or here for that matter when they are available). If this is your price range for a portable player, then get this one. Overall its great.

Dissappointed
By A Customer
Purchased this new portable CD as a second player to my older Sony D307. Read many reviews that said Panasonic is now the player to own. Unlike Sony, it's still made in Japan (Not Malaysia). Brought it home and hooked it up to both my Grado SR125 and Koss Portapro Headphones. Sound quality did not compare to my older Sony (I mainly listen to these players for quality of sound, not bump resistance).

I returned it immediately. I got very concerned that I would be unable to find a player that matched the sonic quality (thru quality headphones)of my old Sony. I read many articles claiming that as the portable CD manufacturers designed their newer units to be more battery efficient and to increase the effectiveness of their anti-skip circuitry, sound quality suffered.

I took a chance and purchased the new Sony D-EJ621. This unit sounds excellent - better that my old Sony. Plays CD-R/W's. Comes with an AC adapter (285 does not) and has a line output to hook to a home stereo or boom box (285 does not have line out-I'm not hooking it through the headphone jack!). I moved the player around and could not get it to skip (with the G-protection on of course - The unit allows you to turn anti-skip off for longer battery life and most importantly-better sound quality -The Panasonic does not).

The Sony is the player to own for sound quality. If your going to listen to either of these players with their supplied headphones (bad sound)- it probably doesn't matter. Get a good set of headphones and realize the quality of sound available from a good portable. ...

Awesome product - poor support
By Mr. Ned D. Ferguson
This is a great printer and delivers on HP's promises. It is very versatile for small office printing. In our office though, we have a particular need to print from Autocad. This printer will not print properly as a system printer from Autocad (at least not in Windows 2000). There is a problem with the HP driver. This was solved by configuring the printer to print from Autocad using an older driver for a Laserjet 5. I do get an annoying device conflict warning every time I print though. This was accomplished, I might add, with no help from HP whatsoever. Not that I didn't try. Their primary solution seems to be to throw a bunch of HP users together and let them help each other. No one had a solution for my particular problem. HP makes great products, it is a shame that their support is so substandard. Product quality 5, minus 1 for lack of support.

Best Deal Ever
By Cal Bear
I purchased this machine to replace a dying 2200 I've had for almost a decade. I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. If the description hadn't said "used," I'd swear this machine was brand new. It looks great, prints great, and arrived quickly and well-packaged. For just over $100, there isn't a modern laserjet printer with the quality construction and solid performance of the 2200. I just ordered a second printer from these guys to keep in my garage as a backup so I always have a working 2200!

For the money....the best laser on the market!
By R. Shaff
I own a small accounting/consulting business...10 employees. Because each employee has such a large workload which is computer/printer-intensive, printer sharing is inefficient and ineffective. Therefore, I needed a high-quality, fast laser printer that would cost an arm and a let (inasmuch as I needed 10 printers!). When looking for a laser, I looked to the industry leader, Hewlett-Packard, if for no other reason than quality and simplicity. I started with the HP Laser II, moved to the Laser III, then the Laser IV and finally the Laser 4050...this, over a period of about 10 years. The move to the 4050 was the best move in terms of print quality and speed. As such, I purchased four. This was in 1999.

In 2001, enter the HP Laser 4100. When one of my Laser IIIs [stopped working], I bought a 4100 as a replacement. I set it up with my office manager as she seemed to have the greatest need. Over a period of two weeks, I found that she was generating reports and proposals in incredible time. I really thought she was getting help from another employee or had received some sort of divine assistance. However, after investigating further, I found that the printer (the 4100) was responsible for this NOTICABLE increase in output. After working with it for a short time myself, I purchased 4100s for everyone in the office. The 4100 is an workhorse for offices needing fast, large-capacity printers. I suspect that this printer would work in a sharing arrangement although I truly think it is at its best in a stand-alone environment.

The 4100 offers the user 1,200 dpi resolution, 16 MB RAM (expandable to 384 MB), and two high-capacity paper trays. As previously mentioned, the 4100 is networkable via JetDirect network cards. The 4100 delivers 25 ppm which keeps up with even the most efficient computer jockey or secretarial dervish. The paper trays, one with 100-sheet capacity and one with 500-sheet capacity, can be expanded up to an amazing 1,600 with available options. My personal printer is set up with two 500-sheet trays which supports my output very effectively. The 4100 is compatible with Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, and 2000 operating systems.

From a consumable standpoint, the toner cartridge supplies a reasonable level of output for the cost. I would like more but then, I don't know if I would ever be satisfied with the consumable cost!!

All-in-all, this is an outstanding laser printer... Frankly, for the quality, I would have paid more but I'm glad I didn't have to.

Need For Speed!!!
By Mr. JKW
HP's LaserJet 4100 is perfect for a networked environment where a large volume of printing takes place. I use two of these for a computer lab and an office that I run and I have no complaints!!

SPEED

This baby is just unbelievably fast. It pumps out pages faster than any office copy machine I have ever dealt with at about 25 pages a minute. Prints jobs go in and they come right out just as quickly!!!

MANAGEABILITY

These printers were made to be networked and the printer management functions built into it are amazing. The printer is accessible via remote login or via secured web paged login (via IP address) and it tells you exactly how much toner is left in the cartridge, how many pages it has printed and when it should be serviced, etc. In other words, it is very easy to maintain.

THE VERDICT:

Overall, I cannot recommend any other printer if you are in an environment that requires multiple users print capabilities in a networked environment at a high-volume. Fast, reliable and easy to manage. What more can you ask for?

Highest Recommendation

Great Printer
By Russell E Smith
Just recently upgraded from another HP Laser. Print quality is great -- even in econo (toner saver) mode. Run it at highest quality for excellent and crisp output. Have not had any paper jams or other problems. LCD on printer is great...you can adjust all of the settings and even get info on the toner cartridge. Standard 500 sheet input tray reduces replacing paper all the time. From my past experience w/ HP lasers, toner cartridge life is good. Very versatile w/ the option to add network components, duplexer, extra RAM. Printer is not [inexpensive], but you get what you pay for.
