The HP ENVY Pro 6475 is an okay all-in-one inkjet printer designed for home use. It's a variant of the HP ENVY Pro 6455, and it comes as a bundle that includes a two-year subscription to HP's Instant Ink delivery service. It has a scanner with an automatic document feeder, but it can't perform duplex scanning, so it can be pretty time-consuming if you need to scan double-sided documents. It has excellent color accuracy, though, and it prints good quality photos. Like its sibling, it has a terrible cartridge system that yields very few pages, leading to more frequent cartridge replacements and higher costs over time. It's also quite slow at printing black and color documents, and its input tray can only hold up to 100 sheets of paper, making it less ideal for big print jobs. Connectivity options are decent, and it's compatible with HP's Smart mobile app.

Our Verdict

0.0
Family 

The HP ENVY Pro 6475 is okay for family use. It has good photo printing quality, excellent color accuracy, and a scanner that includes an automatic document feeder to process long multi-page documents. However, it has a very low page yield, so you have to replace the ink cartridges quite often, making it very expensive to print in the long run.

Pros
  • Excellent color accuracy.
  • Good photo printing quality.
  • Wi-fi connectivity.
Cons
  • Sub-par cost-per-print.
  • No external storage support.
  • Mobile app doesn't support Microsoft Office files.
0.0
Small/Home Office 

The HP ENVY Pro 6475 is bad for small or home offices. It has a very low page yield, slow printing speed, and a small input tray. The lack of an Ethernet port might be an issue for some offices, and even though it has an automatic document feeder, it can't perform duplex scanning.

Pros
  • Automatic document feeder.
Cons
  • Slow printing speed.
  • Low black and color page yield.
  • No duplex scanning.
0.0
Student 

The HP ENVY Pro 6475 is inadequate for student use. It has a low page yield, which means that you have to replace the cartridges frequently if you print a lot, making it very expensive to maintain over time. It doesn't support USB thumb drives, and the mobile app can't print Microsoft Office files. On the bright side, it has Wi-Fi connectivity and good scanner features.

Pros
  • Wi-fi connectivity.
Cons
  • Sub-par cost-per-print.
  • No external storage support.
  • Mobile app doesn't support Microsoft Office files.

Pros
  • Duplex printing.
Cons
  • Slow printing speed.
  • Low black and color page yield.

Pros
  • Excellent color accuracy.
  • Good photo printing quality.
Cons
  • Sub-par cost-per-print.

    Popular Printer Comparisons

    The HP ENVY Pro 6475 is an okay all-in-one home printer. It has good photo printing quality and a scanner that should meet the needs of most families. However, its low page yield leads to more frequent replacement of the ink cartridges, costing you significantly more in the long run if you print a lot. There are much better options at this price range, especially if you don't think you'll make full use of the two-year ink subscription. For more options, check out our recommendations for the best inkjet printers, the best all-in-one printers, and the best home printers.
