The Epson EcoTank ET-15000 is an all-in-one supertank inkjet printer. It has Wi-Fi, USB, and Ethernet connectivity, supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service, and is compatible with Epson's iPrint mobile app. The flatbed scanner can scan sheets up to 8.5" x 11" (Letter) and is equipped with an automatic feeder to process multi-page documents, but it doesn't support duplex scanning. This is also a wide-format printer that can print on various paper sizes up to 13" x 19".

Our Verdict

0.0
Family 

The Epson EcoTank ET-15000 is great for home use. It has wide connectivity options, so every household member can easily access the printer, and it doesn't cost much to maintain due to its high page yields and cheap replacement ink. It produces good quality documents, although it's a little slow to print color documents and photos. Unfortunately, while printed photos look detailed, they also look grainy and not very color-accurate. Also, the scanner has a hard time capturing fine details, which isn't ideal for digitizing photos.

Pros
  • High page yield, low maintenance costs.
  • Sheetfed and flatbed scanner.
  • Produces very detailed and colorful photos.
  • Produces good quality documents.
  • Feature-rich mobile app.
  • Supports wide format paper sizes up to 13" x 19".
Cons
  • Poor color accuracy.
  • Prints photos very slowly.
  • Photos look grainy.
  • Slow to print color documents.

Pros
  • High page yield, low maintenance costs.
  • Sheetfed and flatbed scanner.
  • Produces good quality documents.

Student 

The Epson EcoTank ET-15000 is excellent for students. Thanks to its wide connectivity options, it's easy to connect to the printer via various devices and get your prints out. It produces sharp documents, prints fairly quickly overall, and yields thousands of pages from a single set of ink, making it incredibly cheap to maintain. The scanner is equipped with an automatic feeder, and its lid hinges can extend to accommodate thicker items like textbooks, although the scan quality is only okay, as it has trouble capturing fine details.

Pros
  • High page yield, low maintenance costs.
  • Sheetfed and flatbed scanner.
  • Produces good quality documents.
  • Feature-rich mobile app.
Cons
  • Slow to print color documents.

    1.  Updated Dec 18, 2025: 

      The introduction incorrectly stated that the flatbed scanner could scan up to 8.5" x 11" (Legal) sized pages. It has been updated to say "Letter" as opposed to "Legal."

    2.  Updated Mar 02, 2023: We've updated the review to improve clarity and added more information in the Expected MaintenanceScan Quality, Black and White Documents, Color Documents, Color Gamut, and Small Details sections.
    3.  Updated Feb 09, 2023: We've retested the print quality for Black and White Documents, as the previous score seemed too high due to the presence of banding and misalignment. We've reduced the score from 8.5 to 7.0 and updated the text accordingly.
    4.  Updated Sep 21, 2022: Converted to Test Bench 1.2.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    We tested the Epson EcoTank ET-15000. It doesn't have any variants.

    Popular Printer Comparisons

    The Epson ET-15000 is a very good printer with a remarkably high page yield, just like most Epson EcoTank printers. However, it's only a slight upgrade over the cheaper Epson EcoTank ET-4760, and if you don't need to print on tabloid-sized paper, it's not worth the extra cost.

    For more options, see our recommendations for the best home printers, the best printers with cheap ink, and the best all-in-one printers.

    Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550

    Track

    The Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 is better than the Epson EcoTank ET-15000. The ET-8550 produces significantly higher-quality documents and photos, and it prints a little faster overall. The ET-8550 also produces higher-quality scans, but unlike the ET-15000, it lacks an automatic document feeder. Regarding the cost per print, the ET-15000 yields more prints, and its replacement ink is cheaper, so it costs less to maintain over time than the ET-8550.

    Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850

    Track

    The Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850 and the Epson EcoTank ET-15000 are all-in-one color inkjet printers with supertanks, but the ET-5850 is better for small or home offices. The ET-5850's ADF supports duplex scanning, it has a much larger input tray capacity, and it prints significantly faster. On the other hand, the ET-15000 can print on wide tabloid-format paper for specialty prints, and it has much better page yields and cost-per-print.

    Epson EcoTank ET-3760

    Track

    The Epson EcoTank ET-3760 and the Epson EcoTank ET-15000 are very similar overall. The ET-3760 produces slightly higher-quality documents and scans, but unlike the ET-15000, it only supports paper size up to 8.5" x 11", whereas the ET-15000 is a wide format printer that can print on paper up to 13" x 19".

    Epson EcoTank ET-2720

    Track

    The Epson EcoTank ET-15000 is better overall than the Epson EcoTank ET-2720. The ET-15000 is better built, has a sheetfed scanner, and prints pages much faster. It also has an Ethernet port and can print tabloid-sized paper. However, the ET-2720 produces slightly better quality documents, and while it isn't as color-accurate as the ET-15000, it can produce a wider range of colors and more details in photos.
