Our Verdict

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw

Canon Color imageCLASS MF656Cdw/MF654Cdw

The Canon Color imageCLASS MF656Cdw/MF654Cdw is slightly better than the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw, though their features are nearly identical. The Canon offers a lower cost per print and higher page yields with its toner cartridges. Moreover, its scanner is slightly more feature-rich; it has extendable lid hinges and can process double-sided sheets automatically in a single pass, whereas the HP can only scan double-sided sheets through software. However, the HP scans faster through its automatic feeder.
