Best Printer Under 50$ In 2021

Combine the reliability of a known brand and the affordability of a generic brand, and you get the Canon Pixma MG3620. Everything that you want from a decent printer, this makes it agood chice for all-in-one printers under $50 delivers. 

It has all the basic features that you will ever need including a 5.7 ipm print speed with high-quality results that will definitely not disappoint you. It is compatible with almost all mobile devices so you can print from anywhere, as long as you are in its range. The compact and stylish design prevents it from being an eyesore no matter where you place it in your home. Also, it just easily fits in anywhere! The auto duplex printing features help you save a lot of paper and therefore make it more environmentally friendly, especially if your work is mostly printing documents.

The downside is the sometimes unreliable stability of the Bluetooth and/or WiFi connections.

Our runner up the favourite printer is the HP Officejet 3830 and it genuinely deserves this position on our best printer under 50 list.

One of the many reasons is the whole look of the printer. We know that it is not the most important feature people look for when buying a printer but we’d be lying if we say that it isn’t something that attracted us to it. It has a great design with even better functionality. 

It can copy, scan, fax, and print at a reasonable speed and produce high-quality results. It is compatible with almost all wireless devices and the optional quiet mode keeps the noise to a minimum so you won’t be disturbed. 

But the reason that it did not make it to number #1 is not that it doesn’t print from a USB or lack of auto duplexity but the fact that the monthly subscription plan and the HP instant ink program can end up costing people some additional money so you have to beware of that.

We can all agree that HP is a reliable company which is why it is in the top 3 of our list. Like All HP printers, this too has an excellent and compact design. It fulfills all the requirements of a good printer like auto duplex printing, high quality wireless prints, along with copying and scanning. 

Now let’s talk about why it made the list. The HP printer under $50 supports a wide range of paper sizes so no matter what your requirement maybe. The HP smart app provides all kinds of functions and features to make the use of it all the more easier and it works with alexa so you can print with the command of your voice!

But like all HP printers, it also has the instant ink program issue that a lot of users dislike. Other than that, it does not have an auto document feeder or USB or ethernet networking.

Another great buy on our affordable printers list is the Canon Pixma. We can all agree that the PIxma series was a huge success, and rightfully so.

It has multiple functions including the option to fax, even in this day and age. The Canon print app cuts the hassle and effort of setting it up and printing into half. The additional convenience of wireless printing along with Airprint and Mopria print service which lets you print anything from any device is just great! The print speed, however, is adequate but it makes up for it with the quality of its prints.  The If This Then That (IFTTT) support helps with automated printing, further increasing the convenience of using this printer.

But this printer isn’t perfect. The size of the printer is bulkier compared to other inkjet printers and its stability of the Wifi connection often does act up. 

We all know how difficult it is to find a good and affordable laser printer which is what makes this Brother HL-L2320D so remarkable.

So if you are looking for an affordable professional laser printer, this guy is going to be your best friend! A fast print speed of 27ppm with sharp and high quality text documents is going to blow you away. Since it is a laser printer, the toner will last longer than the inkjet inks so you can go a long time before going for a refill. This too has an auto-duplex feature so not only will you save money on refill, but also on paper.

The downside is that it is a monochrome printer that only provides the stated function and it does not have wifi connectivity, which is quite important in this day and age of technology. But since it is a laser printer at a lower cost, some drawbacks are expected.

Another decent buy would be this Epson Workforce which has all the features of a perfect affordable printer under $50 plus more.

This easy to set up and navigate, voice-activated inkjet printer would be a great investment because it works with Epson ink cartridges which are cheaper than other cartridges so it is more affordable to refill. And the great part is that you can only replace the colour ink that runs out instead of having to replace all of them. It prints out high resolution coloured and black and white documents but at an adequate speed. It easily connects with all wireless devices. 

However, it is not recommended for people who use printers frequently because it is known to sometimes have some performance issues if used excessively. It also uses a lot of ink for prints. 

The last product on our best printer under 50 list is another Canon product because what can we say, they make incredible printers.

This model makes for a great cheap printer under 50 because of its additional features like the Hybrid ink system which produces bright and vivid colour prints of the highest quality. The quiet mode makes it so that you won’t even notice that it is printing the compact size and design only aids in making it blend in with its surroundings. Auto on/off feature and the auto duplex printing makes the printer an energy efficient option. And there are some additional features that come with the canon print app.

But there are some issues while setting it up because the installation of this printer proves to be quite a hassle, especially because the instruction manual isn’t as helpful as it should be.
