Dell 1815dn All in One Laser Printer Review

The Dell 1815dn all in one laser printer provides a value packed printing solution for home or office. The outer case is sleek but the printer weighs nearly forty pounds making this a compact addition to your office that requires a solid base to sit on. We appreciated the handles molded in to the back of the unit that made positioning a bit easier.

The 1815dn has all the necessary cables including USB that permits a one wire quick hookup to your computer. A generous 250 sheet capacity paper try allows you to print more and refill less. Dell offers a higher capacity 500 sheet paper try at additional cost the is recommended for high print volume situations. The 1815dn performed well in our printing tests and delivered up to 24 sheets per minute depending on print quality settings. The LCD readout is not full function but provides enough information including toner replacement or paper refill alerts.

The 1815dn laser printer comes with a 3000 page toner cartridge and is replaceable at a cost of around seventy dollars. The fax capabilities of the 1815dn are respectable and delivered high quality replication. The scan function on the 1815dn provides laser sharp black and white scans but our color tests revealed slight distortion. We like how the 1815dn provides a large button keypad to control both fax and scan functions. The Dell 1815dn is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac system. We purchased our 1815dn mfp for $500 and feel like most other Dell products we've reviewed that it delivers excellent value and performance for the price.
