IN BRIEF

Product Details:
The HP LaserJet Pro MFP M234sdwe is an upgraded version of the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M234dwe, with the inclusion of a 40-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) to appeal to anyone who often needs to scan and copy multipage documents.
One of the standout features of the M234 printers is their fast two-sided printing capability (HP claims fast printing speeds of 21-30 pages per minute). And, with a 150-sheet input tray, 100-sheet output tray, and an automatic document feeder, the M234sdwe is ideal for users who regularly need to print, scan, or copy lengthy documents.
The M234sdwe uses HP+, a smart printing system that offers enhanced security features, together with bug detection and fixing. This necessitates your having an online HP account, a stable internet connection, and using only genuine HP Toner cartridges for the printer’s lifespan.
With HP+, when you purchase and register this printer you get an extra year of HP customer support (two years in total) and you’ll get up to six months of Instant Ink, HP’s ink and toner subscription service. While you don’t have to sign up for Instant Ink, there are good reasons to do so. With this ink and toner delivery service, when the toner is low, your printer will automatically order more.
After your complimentary six months of Instant Ink, you’ll pay a monthly fee for replacement ink (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 ink you use.
It’s important to note that with an HP+-enabled laser printer, you have to sign up for HP+ and accept the terms and conditions. But you don’t have to sign up and use Instant Ink (and you can cancel at any time).
If you don’t want Instant Ink, the M234dwe uses HP 134A and 134X toner cartridges. HP’s 134X cartridges are much pricier than third-party compatible alternatives but your HP+ printer won’t work with any cartridges that don’t include a genuine HP microchip.
If you print enough to need the higher-yield cartridges (which have an estimated 2,400-page yield) and want the freedom to pick and choose which toner you use and when you replace it, then other HP printers in the M234 range — the M234dw or the M234sdw — will be a better choice.

Expert Reviews
RTINGs.com
RTINGs.com gave this printer an 8.1 rating. They conclusion was the HP LaserJet MFP M234sdwe is good for black and white printing. While it’s disappointingly slow at printing text documents, it has a high page yield and a very low cost-per-print. It’s a well-built laser model that provides easy access to paper jams and the toner cartridge. Also, there’s both a flatbed scanner and an automatic document feeder. Unfortunately, it can’t perform duplex scanning, which may be a bother if you need to scan large, double-sided documents often.
