Our Verdict

HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1202w

HP LaserJet Tank MFP 2604sdw

The HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1202w and HP LaserJet Tank MFP 2604sdw are laser printers with refillable toner tanks instead of conventional toner cartridges. However, the newer LaserJet Tank MFP 2604sdw is better in most ways. It feels better built than the Neverstop, offers slightly improved scan quality, has a faster max printing speed when connected via USB, and has a scanner with an ADF, allowing you to quickly process multi-page documents. That said, the Neverstop has a higher-than-advertised max page yield.
