Our Verdict

Brother MFC-J1010DW

HP ENVY 6155e

The HP ENVY 6155e and Brother MFC-J1010DW are both all-in-one inkjet printers, but the Brother is better for almost every use. It produces sharper documents and more detailed scans, yields significantly more pages, and prints faster. The HP produces more detailed photos, but the photos are more color-accurate on the Brother; as neither is appropriate for professional photo printing, the right choice comes down to personal preference for casual use.
