Our Verdict

HP DeskJet 4155e [4133e, 4152e, 4158e]​

Brother MFC-J1010DW

The Brother MFC-J1010DW is much better than the HP DeskJet 4155e for most uses. The Brother's build feels much sturdier, and it has a larger color display with more buttons to help you navigate the settings menu. It also produces better quality documents and photos, scans and prints faster, and its ink cartridges last longer, which will help you save money.
