Our Verdict
The Canon imageCLASS MF753Cdw is decent for home use as long as you don't need to print photos. It produces incredibly sharp documents, but like most laser printers, it isn't ideal for photo printing, as printed pictures look grainy and muted. The scanner produces outstanding scans with sharp text and lots of fine details, but the colors look washed out, so it isn't the best for digitizing photos. As for maintenance costs, the toner cartridges last a long time; however, color printing can still get very expensive due to the high cost of color cartridges. However, with this printer's many connectivity options, every household member can easily access it.
