Product Details:

Look for reviews of the HP LaserJet M209dwe printer and you’ll find that people either love it or hate it. Most seem to love it. The haters are those who would have been much happier had they bought the M209dw instead.

What’s the difference between the M209dwe and the M209dw? The “e” in this printer’s model name signifies that it is a contract printer, enabled for HP+ and the HP Instant Ink subscription service. It is less expensive than the M209dw and has an extended warranty, but conditions apply.

The question, then, is yours to answer: do you want an HP+-enabled printer? On the plus side, you pay less for the printer and yet you get an extra year of HP customer support (two years in total), some enhanced security features, along with bug detection and fixing. You also get up to six months of HP’s Instant Ink subscription service — when the toner is low, your printer will automatically order more.

So why, with all those extras, is the M209dwe the less expensive printer? Well, in return, you must buy HP genuine toner for the lifetime of the printer, and you must keep the printer connected to the internet so you need a stable connection (it won’t work otherwise). If you want Instant Ink but don’t want to commit to HP+, the M209dw is also Instant Ink-enabled (but you don’t get your first six months free).

After your complimentary six months of Instant Ink, you’ll pay a monthly fee for replacement toner (but you can cancel at any time). Your monthly Instant Ink fee starts at just $1.99 but is based on the number of pages you print — not the amount of toner you use.

As for the LaserJet M209dwe itself, it’s a single-function mono laser printer that gets positive feedback for being compact, fast and inexpensive. While it is only intended for light to moderate use (the recommended monthly print volume is 200-2,000 pages), it is indeed fast — you get up to 29 A4 pages per minute, with the first page appearing in about 7 seconds. You also get automatic two-sided (duplex) printing, which is useful for internal documents or whenever you want to save on paper.

Other features include a 150-sheet input tray, an output tray that holds up to 100 sheets, a 600 x 600 dpi print resolution, and support for HP’s Smart app (Android and iOS), Apple AirPrint, Mopria, and Wi-Fi Direct.

So there you have it. The HP LaserJet M209dwe is a great choice for anyone looking for an affordable, compact printer. Its print quality is good, and its fast first page out time and automatic two-sided printing make it even more efficient. Plus, the added extras that come with an HP+-enabled printer are a nice bonus. If you’re looking for a mono laser printer that won’t break the bank, and you want HP+ and the Instant Ink subscription, then the HP LaserJet M209dwe is for you.
